    Hang in there @Chad H
    It's worth it man.
    I'm stuck in Richfield since Monday. Broke truck. Some of the parts came in today but the rest are supposed to show up tomorrow. Leroy said it'd only take about 2 hours to fix. Bad waste gate on the turbo.

    @Steelersjunkie , I hope I'm not crappin on your thread man. Wherever you start a thread just seems to invite Millis drivers and the stuff that's happening to us.

    Drive on brutha truckers.

    That's certainly not bad for having to run through the Windy on top of it.

    I had 19 stops off the truck in 3 hours today. :D

    That's awesome man, glad to hear it. This place is family, no other way to word it. The miles are good, the equipment is fantastic, and home time is prompt. You can't go wrong with this company. And thanks for your post, my boss saw that, guaranteed :cool:

    It is what it is. I gave up caring a while back. This thing has become it's own animal. Can't beat the interaction :)

    Sup y'all. I'm in Streator tonight. Not staying at the yard though. Apparently the port-a-john is gone, as is the fuel pump. So, I'm hangin' at Wallyworld tonight, because they have bathrooms. Here's my last 2 day's recap. I left home yesterday morning and finished my run to Greensburg, PA which is a suburb of The Holy City. Once empty, I went to Clarion, PA to pick up another load. Tell you what, if you've never had the pleasure of running 66 from Pittsburgh to Clarion, thank your lucky stars. Jesus. 2 hours to go 70 miles. I can't imagine how bad that would have sucked if I was loaded. About halfway through my trip, my load changed. Same town, different shipper. Thank god I got the message. The Qualcomm wasn't getting a signal for most of that trip. I had a ton of run time left, so I made it all the way to the Love's near Lodi, Ohio. Fueled up and hit the sack. From there I went to my final which was the Menards DC in Plano. Then I deadheaded here. I am picking up a trailer from another driver. It wasn't supposed to be here until the morning. To my surprise it's already here. So in the morning, I'll limp back over to the yard to get it and head on out. Tomorrow I'll be sleeping at the receiver, guaranteed, because I have a reload there. Same thing for the following night. Gotta love it. That's it for today. Gonna grab a few meals from Walmart and prepare for two more nights of not sleeping in a civilized environment. Ahhh, the OTR life. It's a weird life we live. Keep the rubber side down. Be safe guys. Peace.
