    They will take it off when you get there. They are real good about getting us unloaded. I was there about 6 weeks ago, got there the night before, backed in then woke up early the next morning when they started unloading me. Was done in an hour.

    I got your text. I was sleeping. I just woke up and getting ready to roll. I made it to Sayre Ok, another 710 mile day. Today will be another 700+ miles then do the last 425 tomorrow. That will put me at my delivery with an hour to spare. It's a nice feeling when you put a plan together, follow it and you are able to complete it.

    Indeed it is!

    I see you like to run the way I do on a longer trip. Bang out the miles on the first couple of days and then finish with a lighter day.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    anyone that is successful runs that way
    counting on a plan to come together 3 days in the future leads to late deliveries

    Johnboy, I'm a new trainee. What do you recommend I bring other than clothes and hygiene? Like bed sheets and what not. Thank you.

    Bedding and money. Your trainer has everything else. Almost forgot the most important item, the willingness to listen and learn.

    That's where I'm camping out and hoping that when I call Walter in the morning, he tells me just to drop it and let someone else deliver it on Tuesday. There are only 2 choices for trailers here, a 6500 series with no skirt and a 7000 series that has a load on it bound for San Antonio. Wonder which it will be? Hmmmmm...........

    In the meantime, did some cooking and now playing on the computer and waiting on a washer so I can do laundry. Woop-de-do!! Such an exciting life.
