    Well I almost F'd up real good. I thought the DH to pick up and the run was just over 500 miles.

    The run is just over 500 miles, the DH was 108 miles.

    SO

    The OM is like,"I don't think we're going to make that in one shift."

    SO

    My 34 got afu. Picked up last night, and got down the road a bit.

    Was late and soooooo many dead deer, posted up for 8 in SB at little truck stop, with really good coffee and lots of parking, south of State College.

    Now we're in OH-HI-OH for a 10.

    On caps now.

    And now I REALLY F UP, cause I could have completed my 34, and still made it.

    I am ashamed.

    You know aero trucks rule! Hoods with all that wind resistance and all could never win the Indy 500.

    If you like the photo it was all my expertise. If you don’t. Blame my dash cam. I just pull out a screen shot. LOL

    Right after I got on the 20 I realized I’d been up that road 15-20 times, just never in a big truck.

    Yup slept like a baby at that Exxon. The older guy behind the counter was cool, said he used to drive and actually sounded like he did.

    I always went up the 191. The 87/287 was a breeze compared to that.

    North Dakota. I’d meet up with you, but I always worry about Tarpies backing into me. I’d probably have to meet you a place with pull throughs so I’d feel safe about my truck. :D

    But alas, I’m almost in ND. Maybe next time.
