    To the driver that dropped trlr 3094 thank you for leaving me with your problem and next time get the trlr fixed instead of putting it on another driver espically since they delivering your load cause you was to lazy to do it yourself thanks now imma be late and have to wait for the shop to fix it

    Make sure you let safety know. This has been an ongoing problem with trailers.

    My reset was done early yesterday morning. Louie called me to let me know freight was slow going back to PA from up here. He said to give him an hour and he would have a load for me going to LA. He called back and gave me my dispatch. I was to dead head to Ontario Or and load in the morning with a 2 stopper for Friday morning in the LA produce market, then load Saturday in Yuma going back. It's been probably 20 years since I was in this non english speaking rat hole. This outta be fun.

    I love reading your trips to the west coast and back, makes me think how much I miss doing that. I mean I like what I'm doing now knowing I'm home every 5-7 days and having some what of a life outside the truck.


    But must say theres nothing like getting your load planning your trip and knowing you got like 4 to 5 days of just driving. SWEEEEEET!!!!!!!!


    Be safe on your trip back.

    I was out of there by 9:00AM, so I didn't see you or Gary, but I did see Todd. He was NOT a happy camper this morning.

    I'm sitting in front of my first drop in downtown LA. I have a 2am delivery, then an 8:30 am in City of Industry. After getting loaded yesterday in Ontario Or. I scaled out, 79,900, then headed south. The route I took was one I took many years ago and it hasn't changed one bit. Mountains, and more mountains. Along with a few signs saying no services next 100 miles. If you want to follow the shortest route I took it goes like this, I-84, US 95, I-80, US 95, NV-360, US 6, US-395, CA-14, I-5 to LA. Phew!

    Jason called late this afternoon to tell me I'm loading Saturday in Vernon, 1 p/u and delivers in Pottsville. I'm hoping to be able to get a reset in so I will have enough hours on my clock to get home next week. Right now with this 1250 mile trip to LA then back to PA I will run out of hours when I get back to Pittston. A reset here before I reload then I'll run out of hours while getting out of my truck at the house....much better!
