I have glimpsed Hell

and it looks a lot like California.

Three weeks and I'm still running here. I'm SO SICK of Interstate 5 and CA99 that I could scream!

I thought for sure that I was going to escape this time with a big load out to SLC. Nope! They swapped it on me and sent me right back into the heart of LA! The worst traffic in the entire nation and they send a huge truck into it to deliver cookies of all things! A mere 12,000 pounds of cookies (in two stops yet) that could easily be carried by an LTL truck but NOOOO! *I* gotta do it. And I have to unload it by hand (so as not to crush the delicate cookies) each stop for a miniscule $20 extra.

I'm about to put in for early hometime just to get out of this Godforsaken reject from the Soviet Union cum Mexico.

Anyone want to come help me smash some cookies tomorrow morning?

Anyone? anyone?

Brian

I'll smash some cookies with you in spirit, Brian! I've never wanted to go NEAR southern Cali, myself. Northern was bad enough!

Question: Since you are a pro, maybe you have some ideas? I need to get a small amount of my belongings from Colorado Springs to just west of Durango (I-25 south to Highway 160 West). I doubt if my stuff would even take up 3 feet in the back of a moving van. I am terribly strapped for cash since I've had a number of unexpected financial set backs in the past few weeks. Are there any outfits that might take my small load as a sort of after thought to a regular one for a reasonable price? If so, how do I contact them, etc.?

Are you green with envy?
Do you wish you could climb up into the cab and look down on the world?
When you went to the cowboy movies did you envy the stagecoach driver?

ebay to the rescue!
