    Hi everyone,

    Happy new year to all, I only wish we would get a little snow this winter - it's been so dry! Not....

    Sitting in Yuma AZ waiting for a citrus load going back to Milton PA for Tuesday. Delivered this past Tuesday in Vegas. While there are worse place to take a 34 hour break, these west coast runs always turn into 3 day events until you're turned around heading back east. Mainly because the shippers out here don't load you til 6pm or later local time. The good news is - it's 70 degrees and sunny here today, and I'm sitting here with recently washed truck - and plenty of fish tacos I bought at Rubio's up in Vegas. If you've never tried one, resist the urge to say UGH and go find a Rubio's when you're in the Southwest. You'll be glad you did. Rubios.com website.

    Hope everyone is well - stay warm and dry and who else is with me for the Steelers +3 in Super Bowl 45 hmmmm?
     
    The Challenger Thanks this.

    Hi Everyone

    I have been following this post for the last week. Johnboy thanks for doing a
    good job keeping everyone up to date. Calex seems like a good company so I talked to Mort today and sent in my Application. I live in Ellabell Ga, near the 144mm off I-16 near Savannah Ga.

    How often do you Calex drivers get down this way?
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Hey guys. I haven't posted in a while, just been super busy. I've been averaging 3000+ miles a week except last week I had just under 2000 but I was in nyc 3 days so I made up for the loss of miles. The de yard is no more from what I understand. It was in milford off of route 14. Ill be running by the house all next week so its gonna be a short week. They've been on me about getting a passport, but I don't plan on running into canada, just not for me.

    I think that might be too far off the beaten path, call into safety and speak to Jim. I pass through Savannah every week going home to, and coming out of Florida

    Hello all, I'm sitting here in Milton Pa with my load of carrots out of Bakersfield Ca. I unload 6am then will head to the yard for a service. I'll post my entry about my trip tomorrow.

    Some nasty weather moving in here the middle of the week. Snow up this way in northern PA and ice around NJ. Drivers be careful out there this week.

    When did you speak to Mort? He had hip replacement surgery right before Christmas and has been out recovering. Then again I made a trip out west and have been gone the last 10 days so I haven't spoke to anyone lately.
