Good night from...

She's great and she's about the only thing that makes me even consider regional work. I'm not sure I can handle seeing the same roads, same shippers/receivers, etc week after week.

Maine is truly a beautiful state but "rough around the edges enough" to be interesting.

 

It's good to have someone in your life who makes you happy. You deserve it.

 

Missoula, MT

 

Where in Missoula? I'm going to be at Crossroads (exit 96) in about three hours.

Tomato soup.......yum!

 

Back in El Paso. Here's my little odyssey. Took a load from L A to El Paso, did a 34, got a sweet preplan Friday to Virginia. Shipper loaded in a 14' trailer, no go loaded call, rescheduled for Monday pickup. Return to base (El Paso terminal) sans empty trailer (shipper needed it to transload). Sit til Saturday afternoon, beep 343 mile load to Nogales AZ. Get to Nogales 3 AM sit there all day, beep take this load to El Paso 329 miles. Hmm miles discrepancy. Oh well, some of these guys have been sitting here for 2 days, I better not complain, plus I might get back there and re-snag that Virginia load to put together something of a week hopefully. Almost, nope, missing logs from February again, safety hold, have to scramble and scan those logs, lost that load. So here it is going to be Tuesday on the wakeup and less than 700 miles for the week.

 

Still in the hotel here in Phoenix. Chose my truck today. You can see what I chose.

 

Good choice! Now take it to Petro and have them plug it into their gizmo and have them print it out and take back to Swift to fix.(If anything). Wish I had done that first. I had/have check engine lights and DPF lights. Turns out, according to Petro printout, all they did was hit a reset button for those issues. Printout says EGR issue as well. A whole slew of other faults that have been 'inactivated' but are there in the background just waiting waiting to blow up.

 

Muh-ZOO-luh. Getting my laundry together, then get some dinner.

Really good parking spot. And I don't look like a typical Swiftie. I'm incognito under one of those trailers with the pictures of the kids on it.

 

detroit, about to get my load to memphis. two night drives to screw with my circadian clock. at least i am in deer country in my shiny new truck.
and speaking of new truck, that's a good choice blsqueak. how brand new is it? mine had 13 miles on it when i took the keys. it now has 2400-ish a week later. i really like it.

 

Dang all you guys getting new trucks, congrats. I'm leaning that way myself but want to get the student loan repaid back first.
