[Music] all right another day another kind of trailer so we got a container and a chassis today i've already done my pre-trip but i also wanted to check this right side blinker looking good i don't know what this thing has in it but it doesn't weigh very much at all [Music] [Applause] it's a 40-foot container and it's stacked full of weapons and ammunition but it's the wmd's weapons of minimal destruction it's going to a convention center in dallas and it's going to be a mega nerf gun battle i might stay that sounds pretty cool as you can imagine it's all nerf gun uh bullets and nerf guns and stuff so it doesn't weigh anything so hopefully we'll get some good fuel mileage out of this trip it uh of course it wasn't this one wasn't just uh pull up to and hook and go of course the trailer that they told me to get was already gone and so it took an extra 30 minutes for them to just put a different trailer number on my bol but not too bad in and out in about 35 40 minutes so we're on the road and hopefully it'll be a smooth trip [Music] you [Music] [Music] so [Music] all righty second load of the week is done and last load of the week is done heading toward the house on a thursday afternoon a couple hours away but man the importance of being early i i like to be early no matter what because you never know what's gonna happen if there's gonna be traffic you know accident weather anything can happen but uh today really paid off for just a completely different reason so i booked this load and it took a lot of negotiating for for a couple of different reasons um this low was coming from uh about 40 miles outside of chicago down here to dallas oh man and so it had a it was just a loaded trailer just hook and go but it had a live unload at a convention center here in dallas and then after the live unload i was supposed to take the trailer over to a yard and drop it off it was actually a container and a chassis and so um you know negotiating you know because of that extra stop and then when i thought i was done negotiating she sprung something else on me that um this is wednesday morning when the load picked up it was going 900 miles and then she said oh what time on friday would you like to deliver and i said no no we're renegotiating so yeah that would when she said that that threw an extra day in there that i would just be sitting um in time is money so we renegotiated and she set my apartment up for 9 00 a.m on friday so instead of goofing around stopping in the middle or doing something else i went ahead and i got here you know i drove did my 10 hour 10 hour break no more no less drove on in and when i was about 45 minutes from dallas on thursday today i called where i was supposed to deliver and say hey just let you know i am here and in case you want to unload me early but i will definitely be there at 9am in the morning and the guy told me well something's going on and we want you just to drop the trailer over at some yard it turns out they they canceled the event it was a some kind of big nerf gun ward some gigantic nerf you know uh where you know everybody gets a gun and everybody goes in they set up obstacles all kinds of stuff so i was kind of surprised that they would book that anyway in these cobin times and then a politician hadn't shut them down but obviously some politicians somewhere heard about it and got some brownie points by shutting them down so uh yeah the event is you know in the process of being canceled maybe maybe not but instead of paying us to sit around for a few days they wanted one of the trailer just dropped it at a yard so i was able to drop it on thursday and it's 1 30 i'm already heading to the house if i had messed around and you know wait until friday morning to figure everything out i would have wasted a whole day for absolutely nothing now i could book another load coming out of dallas and get me through the house and take excuse me for fairly easy but i've gone over uh on my oil change man he was bugging the crap out of me and i have to get home and do that but there you go uh practicing that zen and be where you're supposed to be doing what you're supposed to be doing normally things work out but uh yeah originally this load they wanted to pay i think it was twenty two hundred dollars but i got them up about five hundred dollars on that so a pretty decent paying load you know almost three dollars a mile and uh [Music] you
