    Sitting in Raphine, 21 miles to my 6am delivery, then head to the yard to get my air leveler valve replaced on my truck, then home.

    Here's what I've done since leaving the house what will be 16 days ago when I get home on Thursday.

    House to South Bay to Richmond,
    945 miles

    Richmond to Pocatello ID
    2217 miles

    Pocatello ID to Billings MT to Grest Falls MT
    608 miles

    Great Falls MT
    Reset

    Great Falls Mt to Colton Ca
    1228 miles

    Colton Ca to Staunton Va
    2417 miles

    Staunton Va to Richmond Va
    120 miles

    Richmond Va to West Palm Beach Fl
    874 miles

    That's 8289 paid miles. This has been the fifth straight pay period like this, I'm overwhelmed.
     
    Lonesome, KD5AXG, 460/580 and 3 others Thank this.

    The
    There's a TS when you get off the exit to go to Volvo, it's a tight ### parking lot that you would never get a spot in.

    It sounds overwhelming but just goes to show that the miles can done ( on elogs at that) if loads are planned and dispatched properly.
