Verizon in Stingy

I haven't updated because I found out that I went over my 5 Gig limit on Verizon. It happened because my new laptop had to download all of the Microsoft updates, ESET virus software, TV tuner software, iTunes and other stuff I use. Verizons access manager reports what is supposed to be the amount of bandwidth that you have used when you connect. They are deceptive though because the report you get is two or three days old. I think this is deliberate because they know that people will assume it is current and then go over the limit and they can charge you a ridiculous amount for the overage. I called them to complain and they told me that the report can't be done in real time. They also told me that they can't set it up to just cut off at the limit. I installed and managed the access switches and VPN servers at a very large airline so I know that is a lie too. If they believe that then they should fire the engineer that told them that and hire me.

Any way, after I got to Trenton OH I got loaded and went to Green Bay again. I got stuck there for the Sunday but that let me get some hours back and watch some NFL. I also walked a lot and got some good pictures of the bay. I also met some guys who had some remote control cars that were rock climbers. They had a course set up on the jetties and were competing with each other.

Then it got crazy busy again. I got sent to Neenah WI and got a load, dropped it in Richfield WI, went to Hartford WI and got a load going to Saratoga Springs NY. I delivered that Wednesday morning.

I had requested home time starting tomorrow. I didn't think I would make it but the sent me deadhead to Baldwinsville NY for a load going to Macon GA delivering 0700 tomorrow. I spent last night in Scranton PA and drove 700 mi today ending up just shy of Georgia on I85 in SC.

What a killer day. This load puts my gross at 79,460 lbs with my tanks half full. I had to fuel twice to get this far and I might have to again before I get down to Macon.
