    Good luck. We're about 60 miles from Kennesaw. This is a drop load then we pick up a pre loaded from the same place. I will take over and start heading up to PA.

    Shutting down for tonight in va. Did 607 miles toady. Some of those mountains curves took me by surprise. Ran into a traffic jam for about an hour. So that made me really close of going into violation. Had 13 minutes to spare. Still have another 200 miles to go.

    We went to salt lake city, now we are headed to Chicago, we are in Nebraska now, going to stop in Iowa at the worlds largest truck stop. I've drivin 1100 miles so far. My shift starts at 12 pm today. I did some mountain driving in Colorado and Utah , was pretty #### nervous but it was fun. Going down the mountain is really scary. I did some stop and go traffic too.

    This morning there was heavy fog coming down a downgrade for 10 miles. Had to use the jack brake to maintain my speed. It's going to be crazy doing that in winter time. We are sitting here in North Carolina now. About 12 miles from our delivery. Our next load could possibly be a hazmat load. Kinda nervous about that. Also state troopers are out here like crazy. Seen 5 within a mile of each other.
