Good Night From II

I ended up spending 48 hours @ the Pilot in Tumwater. When they planned me on a 149 mile Costco load to Portland I didn't hesitate, anything to get moving. On the way to Portland they offered me a load that picked up this morning in Vancouver, WA going to Los Angeles. Again, despite the crap miles for a 3 days load I took it just to keep moving south.

I'm @ the Pilot in Weed, CA. Gonna stop by the Lathrop terminal tomorrow to get my cab card and do a load of laundry. I'll do Sunday night at the J @ the top of the top of the Grapevine then deal with the traffic Monday morning to deliver my load.

 

I guess I've been lucky with loads in my area.
The west coast sounds like a black hole pit these days.

 

parawon ut at the t/a.
left jurupa terminal this morning heading to beaver ut.
stopped at my normal place b4 Barstow to make coffee and call other driver to.make sure he still going to beaver.
he said he had issues with the trailer
other driver dropped it at Denver terminal without a mudflaps
plus he said alot of traffic since he started later.
had to go to Salina ut at the loves to get the trailer.
alot of rain in Las Vegas and a little rain on spots going there.
had stopped here around 2pm for fuel and 30 min break.
on the way back a little snow flurries between mm16 and mm 4 on 70 then cleared up.
thought about stopping in beaver but still had 10 extra minutes to get here.
should have stopped.
snow was dumping once I got halfway up the hill south of beaver.
a few cars spun out in the ditch didn't help.
but glad I made it here in one piece.
brw... drove 20min pass my 11. but nowhere I felt safe to turn aroumd

 

got a message an o/o for swift was killed at one of the terminals. didn't say where or how. but I believe he/she got ran over.

 

Glenn canyon, will go the rest of the way to SLC in the morning and drop this load and get A service Monday.

Hit sleet, Rain, snow, fog and Hail on the way up I17. Everything was fine north of Flagstaff. Temp stayed above freezing but so much hail was hitting the road i dropped speed quite a bit because i was afraid it might be enough to effectively act like ice at that point

A car in the fast lane slammed into barrier and back into another car in right lane. I pulled over on shoulder and so did car that got hit, but other car ran so the car that got hit chased after and i lost visual on both of them.
@dptrucker
Ive had more than one case of that on that stretch of 15. Couldnt find the ramp and kept going.

 

Macon, GA at the Love's.

Delivered at Tractor Supply a mile down the road at 1730 and this place was completely packed, so I bobtailed. There were 2 bobtail spots left. I got one and 5 minutes later another Swift bobtail took the other.

There are a few empties at TS so I'll head over in the morning to see if one is still there.

 

I just got a pplan, to which I replied...
'This is either a joke or someone is higher than a kite'.

I drove nearly 600 miles today, delivered at 1730.
This pplan had me picking up 100 miles away at 0024 tomorrow morning (tonight) at Amazon and t-calling in Memphis tomorrow morning around 1000.

Planners should be drug tested more often.

 

Probably by their student!

 

I grabbed a load from mac 30 headed to IN and I'm glad it has some extra time.

Heading up I-75 in GA out of Atlanta it was raining. There seemed to be two types of drivers out there - those that were scared and slow and those that were daredevils and going full speed weaving from lane to lane to gain position.
Trucks and cars alike with both.
So I shut down early in Cartersville to get out of that mess.

Most of us had just passed an accident in Atlanta. It looked like a truck t-boned a car in the left lane.
But no one seems to learn from seeing.

 

At home for the night. Grabbed a Long Beach to Pueblo Target load off of Mac 30 last night just before going to bed. Best part is it delivers Wednesday.
