Well, all done unloading and time to head home, pick up a nice thick Delmonico steak and pig out. Yup, doesn't get any better then that.

Eating alone, neighbors are scared of you. Sounds depressing.

The MT 903 is a waste of time if you don't run many miles in NY as are the KS property tax work sheets.

I need to be putting away $.85 cents per mile for asteroid protection coverage which insurance does not cover and if I don't, well, you'll fail Steve.
BTW, just a gentle reminder to continue to keep it civil gentlemen. :wink:

I just looked in my files and the last check I wrote to NY was $.78 cents and they cashed it. I usually run the toll roads so you don't pay tax for that. Your probably right about not having to pay for less then $1.00. I never bothered to read the whole thing.
Made it home and picked up my steak on the way and a butt load of carrots and coleslaw. Got my load all setup for tomorrow back to the Chicago area. Not sure if I'll head back this way or out West. Probably out West though. I've already had enough of the roads and traffic. Time for a long run. The dock that I unloaded today at was 122" wide and 4' tall. I had 6" clearance on each side. No place to turn and probably the hardest place I've ever had to back into. I had to get out and look about 10 times. More tarping tomorrow. I've hauled for this place before and it's a tough one to do.
