    Made it back to Hermiston, deliver Friday 2 stops in Missouri, should make Chicago EARLY AM Saturday and rest up at the hotel that night, then fly to south Texas Sunday. Didn't want to buy the ticket last minute, and also didn't want to chance a setback that didn't get me to Chicago in time for Saturday flights.

    Been a long day, time to crash.

    Yeah tell me about it... I just drove through that #### as it passed over I-75.

    In other news... There is a wreck being cleaned up at approx. mm27 I-75 N in OH, just before the rest area. It appeared that someone ran into the rear of one of the 20 odd trucks parked on the shoulder before the rest area proper. From what I could see as I was southbound, it looked to me that one truck rear ended the line of parked trucks. There was for sure one 53' van or reefer sitting across at least 2 travel lanes. I couldnt see the tractor, but I suspect it was jack-knifed to the blind side where I couldnt see it. It was all very difficult to see between the darkness, rain, and very bright flashing lights.

    Well we were charged for both refills for the first time at this Love's.
    And they have no bean burritos.

    The OM has taken a list of names and is notifying corporate of our harsh treatment and their complete lack of product selection.

    The Schneider trucks I saw were 13's with 2:65 rears. I was somewhat surprised with that as I figured they would probably suck in the rockies,

    Yep. Sure were moneymakers. I bought a '97 FLD, ex Swift truck, with 503,000 miles. Ran it close to a million and wish I would have kept it. Best truck I ever owned.

    6CE594D7-8C44-47AE-9896-460DD81D211C.png I should have bought that one myself. Instead I bought a 99 Classic, 170k, with extended 500k warranties. Extra turbo, Waterpump and compressor coverages. Turbo blew at approx. 350k. Still paid a $500 deductible.
