    Well made it thru College Park and Dumfries scales. Not much going on for the "blitz". Looked like business as usual.

    Westbound 86 in Owego up here looked like a police convention in there today.
    Glad I had the Super Duty and didn't have to go in !
    Pennsylvania was all quiet coming up 81 last night.

    After hanging out at the shipper for 3 hours agents/brokers telling me shipper had not cancelled the order (with shipper saying they had canceled it) The shipper agreed they had not cancelled and order will be ready in about 5 hours.

    Not even a food or d.c. load. goes to a store.

    Yesterday on 81 when I was north bound the south bound side was on and full, when I came back south after d&h in York it was closed and empty. Nothing in VA orTn

    I think the dock I went to for a load of paper in Baltimore is by Dundalk

    I went thru there NB yesterday evening. All trucks in and everyone got on the scale. I wasn't mt but not heavy either. I took the 270 out of DC and that MD scale was also closed, then backroads into PA. All other scales I passed since Monday were all closed, except NB I-85 SC at the 9 was open at 0100 rolling everyone thru. I got the bypass lane at that one.

    To be fair, the Dumfries scale was the only one I passed during regular daylight hours though. Business as usual far as I can tell.

    And tomorrow will be going to Los Angeles for another pick up... :biggrin_2552:
    Place is SOOOO small... trucks have to park on the center lane of the street and walk to the office to check in... and after that trucks drop their trailers somewhere and the yard jockey puts then in the dock...
    I may not be going very far after loaded tomorrow... not enough hrs...
    So... I will start my reset tomorrow... And then will run 2026 miles... going to IN...
