Spending the night at home, still ... Saturday.

Thursday.

Local dispatch 1st called to see if I had turned in last weeks/years paperwork. Then they called to see if I could do a local trip today. Then they called a 3rd time to see if I could do a round trip to IN/OH. I finally told them I was not going anywhere, anytime soon.

I did finally drive in and turn in my paperwork after hours (so no one would be touching it right away.

Friday.

We watched the load board most of the day. The last of the local trips disappeared but we are still not ready to commit. A couple of new trips were added and gone almost right away.

Then sometime late afternoon, our IA terminal started adding trips. All with October dates, so they are the old ones that have been sitting for months.

We could tell that some loads were being taken as trips were being added. Finally by about 8 PM they quit adding and the day ended with 110 trips.

Saturday.

We still are not ready to commit to anything. There had been six local RV trips plus lots of long ones. We watched the short ones go and enough of the longest ones.

Load board ended today where it ended yesterday and lots of trips were taken. I'm guessing that at least 50 trips were taken. Not likely too many people will be calling in Monday AM. Too early to tell if we will.

There are a few trips that will pay OK. We can get a rental car from most places home for about $100 a day. None of the remaining trips are 'no-tow' so that is $400 less four our trip, but BB hasn't worked for over a month and was even talking about doing a local pickup (vs RV) just to stay active.

We most likely will head to NC if we can. There are trips to FL but then we have an extra day to get to where there might be work. Depends on the weather and if we just want to get warm.

We have pretty much stayed in doors for about 10 days now, other than shoveling snow on the warmer days. We did finally take a 15 minute walk today.

... We do have someone living with us, they finally tested positive for Covid yesterday so now we have been 're-exposed' however that works these days. At some point I need to stop by the clinic on our way out of town. I might have to call and see how that should go before I get there.
