Today, same as the last. Almost.


Monday morning when I got up, BB had connecting trips all planned out. But by 8 AM she/we decided we'd wait for 'good' trips instead of taking 'OK' trips.


The rest of the day we watched the load board and took nothing.


Today/Tuesday, BB was OK with taking a rental trip from MN but by the time their loadboard was updated the trip was gone.


Again we watched the loadboard all day and we'd look at trips ... and then the weather. Once BB looked at the weather, all trips were off except WI. And the only thing going to WI is a trash truck. A cab over that I am taking a break from right now.


Local dispatch did call to see if I wanted to work 'Weds or Thurs' but we plan on being out of town ... just like we had planned on being out of town yet Saturday night if there had been work.


Throughout the day there were two CDL trucks from MN going to FL but BB's not CDL. There have also been RV's going to CA and FL but only one at a time and only for a minute or so. Those have been grabbed pretty fast.


There was a MN RV on the board for a couple of days but it is finally gone.


Right now there are pairs of RV's going to NJ, UT, VA. OH and four sets to MI. We'll be looking at the weather again tomorrow. We seem to be waiting for them to dump the 100+ on the board at one time so we have even more choices.


But now we are getting up against the weekend. We need to leave tomorrow by noon to do the <> 1,000 mile trips or sit for the weekend. (We already done three days of sitting here)
