    Well since I can't seem to search within the thread anymore, I'll just ask: is that HP in San Bernie 24 hour? Haven't been there in two years and it was lunchtime then.

    Got the last of my 8 drops off yesterday in Garden Grove Ca. This was a trip for the ages. I left RVA last Saturday morning at 0600. Made my first drop in Colorado Springs 9am Monday. As soon as I was done the cold and snow started. Had it all the way up to Buffalo Wyoming where I shut down for the night. Woke up at zero dark thirty for the 525 mile jaunt to Missoula Montana. It was good going until I got to Butte. From there to my drop was wind, ice and snow. Got that drop off Tuesday then had enough time and daylight to make it down to Dillon MT. Woke up zero dark thirty again on Wednesday to drive the 355 miles down to SLC for my next 2 drops. The trip up, over and down to the Utah/Idaho border was snow and snow covered roads. Once I got to Tremonton Utah, it cleared up. Got those 2 off then made it down to Mesquite NV. Woke up yet again at zero dark thirty to drive down to San Diego, Temecula and the final in Garden Grove.

    This trip turned out to be 4040 paid miles, 7 extra stopoffs, 5 straight days of 700+ miles, and finished yesterday with 5:30 left on my 70. I got my reload assignment yesterday morning. Do a reset first then a drop and hook Saturday am for the West Memphis yard.

    I love these type of loads. Especially when I have to put this truck and trailer into places that moms SUV couldn’t fit.

    Gotta drop at stihl in virginia beach. Anybody know if they are open on weekends and where we drop trailers if they aren't open? Place looks tiny from sat views.

    You can go in there on the weekends. Check in at the guard shack. Once you go thru, the warehouse is to the right. Walk in the door and there’s a phone on the wall. There’s a number to call and someone should pick up and come around if there’s no one when you go in. Then it’s just a matter of finding a place to drop the trl if they don’t have you put it in a door.

    How come they aren’t letting you drop on the RVA yard?
