226 miles, seven hours, all work completed, not a dime in revenue.

Today had to be the weridest day I've ever had in terms of my actual job. I didn't have a single delivery. Not one job site or shop in my entire service area ordered anything. I've had days where I only had one or two boxes on the truck, and once drove a single 20' piece of Unistrut to Lodi as one of only three deliveries, but nothing? Weird.

That doesn't mean I had nothing to do! A return in Fremont (which didn't happen, the material wasn't at the shop.) Will-Calls in Modesto, 2 in Livermore, and Pacheco, and a vendor return in Brentwood kept me moving. But all that and no revenue at all. Like I said, Weird.

This just means that Monday I'll have two pages and stagger back in after 11 hours.
