Well I am here at the Mountain Home , Idaho pilot off of exit 95. On I-84 stopped for the night.. I will creep into Portland tomorrow but my delivery is set for Friday cause my hours are so low. I am actually parked beside another JCT driver but have not met them yet. For the week I am still averaging 7.4 mpg with a non aerodynamic trailer and running heavy loads above 75000lbs gross and all these majestic mountains that I keep riding like a bad roller coaster. Lol I think I beat the first winter storm of the year that is set to hit Idaho and Wyoming tonight through Friday dropping 4-12 inches of snow. Hopefully I beat it and won't have to worry about it. If anyone is running that way please be safe.

Picked out a truck today: White 2012 Cascadia with 308K on the ODO, in pretty nice shape, looks well cared for, starts right up, engine very clean. Just needs a few items taken care of then should be good to go. No APU, unfortunately, but I can add one after a few months for a 2yr adjustment to weekly pmt. Should pay for itself by about then or sooner. They might be replacing the steers, but the drives are sweet super-singles with lots of tread left. Looking forward to it!

After a rare double-swap, I got a load from Winslow, AZ to Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Since this load doesn't deliver until tomorrow afternoon, I decided to swing by the house. It was a beautiful day in Las Vegas (until the afternoon wind picked up) and I took advantage and rode my scooter (Honda Reflex) around doing a few errands. O'Reilly Auto Parts has Mobil Delvac on sale for $11.99/gal, so I grabbed a spare.
When I checked in at the truck, I had a preplan waiting. After my delivery tomorrow, I head over to the Colton yard to drop and hook a trailer heading to Paul's Valley, OK. It's a nice 1,348 mile drive delivering on Monday. I should cross paths with CapeBuffalo somewhere on I-40 Saturday. I hope we get a chance to stop together and compare notes.
It occurred to me that I forgot to update you on my mileage goal for September. I was rolling at midnight on the 30th, but I estimate that I made 13,550 miles for the month! As winter approaches, I'll be happy to drop that down to 11,000 miles/month or so.DADof3, Cbake84 and luvtotruck Thank this. -
