2 RV's to Davis CA (Tuesday)

... spending the night at home

Lots of trips on the load board and the weekend to think about it.

Doing 2 no-tow Davis trips is our best pay. We had looked at other trips and thought about seeing if dispatch could come up with more money some older ones but they decided to just do what is there.

I had to get going early this AM so when it got near 8 AM I pulled off into a parking lot and called. We got them. I kind of forgot that I was going to just have them hold them for an hour until we heard back on something.

That something was my drugstore was out of one of my meds and without those I may not have enough to last until we get home from our next two plus week trip. It turns out that it was the only med I have an extra two weeks of ... and they got more in today so no issue.

Again we will have an extra day to get to CA, but we prefer that to having to push. And again WY weather is a maybe. Right now it looks like we want to take our first two days slow and get there on Friday. But that may change in the next couple of days.

This will be our first trip in the new 'Ekko.'

Later today dispatch did put out runs that we likely would have taken over the Davis but Davis was a sure thing at 8 AM.

There are four trucks in IN coming back to MN that have been sitting there for 10 days, but we can't do everything. It was a good trip when we did do it. There is also an RV in IN going to MT that has been sitting longer than that.

And IA has a Brainerd one that we could have gotten done today ... match that up with a Duluth back home with a auction truck and it would have been some good pay. At least four auction trucks we would have grabbed if we were going to be staying in town.

We have time enough for one trip to CA and back but we never know how long the 'back' part is going to take. We should have a few extra days when we get back. What we do will depend on the weather. If it is below -0- we will likely head south.
