Fedex LTL was high v. Conway. We used RTL and had problems, so back to Conway. Love to get some competitive quotes ....

Tony , Did you take a package to E.C. to deliver so you can write off this trip ?

We get fairly good pricing on our outbound LTL shipments .... Have you ever tried going through Unishppers? Even with rates we get direct from the carrier ...belonging to a freight group ... they get better pricing using the same carriers that I do....give them a try and see if they can help.

Well today we didn't do much walked around town and sight seeing. Underway in the am gas up at Lambs marina 2.79 a gallon. Then up to the welcome center. Going to try to spend the night there and then on back to Hampton Roads.
