That’s wonderful, Pat; I’m happy for you. It started off great, and just kept getting better!
That is awesome Pat. I never seemed to have circumstances like that. Mine was more of truck ordered not used I love what I'm doing now. Much less stress.
Wow! Gotta love when the stars align like that!
Glad you were able to see your son for Christmas.

Found out that my youngest son was getting to go home for Christmas after jump school. I found a very good paying load going from Sheridan, WY to where he lives dropping the day after Christmas. So I booked it a week ahead of time.
Then one of my direct customers called needing a load delivered to Sheridan the day before I was to pick up the load. Ka-ching worked out perfect.
Drop the load off in Tennessee and start looking for a load home. Found one 400 miles away that paid more than enough to cover the bounce and was light enough that I could scale it. See, I have my 3 axle trailer and can't scale 48k in a 80k state. I am over 33k empty.
Then that same direct customer calls me and wants more trucks. So when I get back and drop this load I take another one to Sheridan only to reload where I am dropping and going right back to my shipper.

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
