    Somewhere in OK tonight. Spent 16 or so hours at a ASARCO in amarillo waiting for unload and reload. Too much fun.

    In LA waiting on my clock to be ready. I'll get to Laredo with torn tarps (for a load that didn't needed to be tarp). And by the time I get there I will be out of hrs for the day so someone else will have to take this load around the corner.

    im in ocala FL. deadheaded 300 miles from miami area. got unloaded yesterday, went to TK to get my apu fixed, some bolt came loose and messed up the alternator, had to get it replaced.

    waited til about noon until i got the deadhead order. then was told i should have called because they didnt recieve my message that i was out of TK and ready to go yesterday.
    didnt make sense to me but ok.

    now i have a preplan to pickup about 60 miles away, and del to york PA by friday. should be possible even though im on recap.

    im at a loves. soon as i pulled in and parked, another truck pulled in and was goin to back into the spot by me. well two tires on the back of his trailer blow out right as hes about to back. pretty crazy that both just blew out like that at the same time.

    I'm sitting an hour north of Birmingham. Unloaded at 10 and my PU in Birmingham is at 1700. Another wasted day. I'm getting really tired of these 650 mile tarp loads. I honestly can't remember my last load that was over 1000 miles, it's been at least 3 weeks.

    Sitting in MO. Picked up load in KY heading to OK for Friday. DM said I know you can make it there before your Friday appt. She's right but getting unloaded on a Thursday means getting an overnight load for Friday and then praying for a weekend load. At least that's been my experience.

    I.deliver tomorrow in Rome ny I am thinking the same thing. But if I get an over night load that will kill my 70 and I wont pick up hours til Friday night. I know CSRs are suppose to look at that but in my experience they never do

    Pretty much anytime you deliver in FL you almost always head to Ocala the probably pick up insulation. I did pick up in Jacksonville once but other than that its always up to ocala and insulation to NC

    yep i picked up insulation. kingspan i think?
    pretty cool near there is a skydiving business, i saw multiple people parachute down while i was there.

    i want to skydive soon. i was about to a couple years ago and it got cancelled due to weather. havent tried again since.
    but seeing them made me want to!

    im at petro off the 95 in SC. lots of parking and it doesnt look busy at all for a 200+ parking lot at 2100.
    didnt see very many melton guys like i usually do driving today. one was loading after me, and i stopped at a loves to shower after loading and saw one truck, and that was it for today.

    i will unload on friday morning and hopefully get somethin to keep moving thru weekend. tuesday was kind of a waste, so i hoping for at least another 1k miles

    From Ocala there is also a pole place in Ga that gets you to Laredo. Been there a couple of times. Pretty easy load, too.

    At the insulation place you need to put all your straps in your tool box on the load so you get the free plastic edge protectors. Lol
