BD69: The Owner Operator Chronicles

The two guys I'm talking about are good teachers and don't mind doing it. Of course I don't hang around other rigs being worked on, just mine.

 

Finally got the whole load on. 12.5 hours today and only drove 252 mile, but I'm over 420 miles crisscrossing California. Passed one of my old duty stations twice...Camp Pendleton...and it's the only thing that looked familiar in an area I used to know like the back of my hand.

On to Chicago, have to be there by 1800 on the 22nd.

More later...

 

I was talking to a buddy of mine today, usual trucker talk, and I told him I was going to be stopping in the vicinity of Parowan for the night. He suggested that if time allowed I run up to the hook in Beaver...said it was sort of a dump but there was a taco shop inside that made one hell of a good burrito. The TA in Parowan has a Taco Bell and Subway, so fresh food was appealing and I had time to head over so I did. The burritos were excellent but I heard a couple locals talking about the weather and, wait for it...big winter storm blowing in tonight 8-10" by morning, up to 2' higher up. Vail ain't looking promising at all. So my plan to run this into Chicago early enough to do a 10 before unload looks to be out the window at this point. Dam, I want Spring to actually go nationwide, back home they're already cutting grass and fishing.

I'm going to lie down and cry now.

This is an area where I will not get deeply involved in. @Espressolane explained it very well. But the best thing he said was to get a top flight CPA, one who specializes in trucking is highly advisable, and leave it to them.

 

Glad you got it all handled. Now get out here and drive...lol.
