Anyway i made it a whopping 10 miles from the terminal before i ended up on the shoudler....Lower Radiator Hose poped off lossed all the coolant AGIAN....so 1 hour later Blue Ridge sent the kid to come fix it....
Then FINALLY i got to leave and made it to Baltimore, OH sniped the last spot at the Loves. I have 5 stops over the next 2 days in MI. 1 of which beeing the terminal.....HAD this load been loaded earlyer and dispatched earlyer this morning say left conover by noonish a driver could have done all 5 stops tomorrow and STILL had half a day left to reload...
But instead I'll get to do 3 stops maybe 4 if terminal will do there stuff before they go home, then im Stuck in BFE at the terminal....no bathrooms, no showers NOTHING, until the next day when i run an hour north to do the last stop Only way i can hit a TS is if i go 30 minutes out of route EACH WAY to get to one......
Hopefully there is a walmart i can go to near the terminal for stuff for the night, i'll make my own #### shower at the terminal

so I am thinking you are feeling better than last few days?
Just take it easy as despite being a young one your body is still recovering from the steph infection and it can come back to bite you in the butt!!
Don't over do it and make sure you rest and take it easy.......
Really I had streph for the first time this spring and thought WTF and was back at work, doing stuff around the house etc and it kicked my butt for weeks cuz I over did it!
rest up my friend rest up...........

got to my last stop this morning 0830, and talk about a tight dock!
All the furniture was soaking wet too
Apparently the trailer leaks somewhere, it was ok though everything was srink wrapped so everything was ok.
Then i took the POS MT back to the terminal grabbed a good one and headed to OH to do a D/H. Get there swap out and went to the OH terminal, they added 5 peices
Then i headed south to ripley, WV where i am now, only 4.5 hours from Conover which is where the rest of this stuff is going.
Good parking here tonight too!

Got a load with stops, starting in Slidell, LA and ending in Houston, TX. First stop is Just about doable from conover in 11 hours 701 miles.....hmmm even a Big Truck Stop in the same city as the 1st stop.
Trying to decide if i want to do all the driving tomorrow or split it up with 2 nice short days....thats what im leaning towards since i dont need a 34, and it would be a push to get there in 11 hours with the whole ATL bull sheet to deal with and all that construction down there too! Yuck! haha
I'm not a fan of stops but with the snow storms in the North East and out west in the rockies TX sounds good! Not sure how many stops i didnt ask...i'll find out in the morning.
I supose i'll just find me a Loves halfway tomorrow and use my Unlimited free showers while they last before i go pay $12 for one in LA haha
