    Dang man!!! Talk about having some angels on your side today! No need to beat yourself up too badly. At least you got it off. We all foul up from time to time. Lord knows I have.

    They sent you to Maryland?! Man I haven't taken a load there since my 1st year here, back when we used to do more loads delivering for Domino's. Where in Maryland are ya headed to?

    Ahhh man everything is peachy here. It's about 95 here in Pueblo, but it really doesn't feel bad. Thank goodness for the drier air out here. I just finished at the Target not long ago. They didn't have me pre-planned so I'll stay the night here. The one time I actually got out in 3 hrs, I have to wait for a load lol....trucking is so volatile.

    Flagstaff is going to make for some good scenery man. With those hills having 22k is blessing for sure. Are you and the Mrs teaming or is she just riding with ya?

    You ain't lying about that man. The trainer I had at Western when I began had one of those. Talk about the most irritating way to get outta bed. He certainly didn't allow me to sleep much lol. He definitely made a driver outta me

    Can we take the 99 toll road to avoid Houston? I've got a delivery to Costco in Brookshire, and I'd really like to avoid taking 45 all the way down thru downtown Houston lol.

    I wouldn't do it if they didn't route you that way. Periodically, they've sent messages about us taking certain toll roads due to cost. I don't know what 99 costs, but I only take the toll roads I know they don't mind paying for. The ones in Texas, I can't say.

    Hanover -- south Baltimore basically. It's an odd load. It's a CH Robinson dry van load that shipped out of Eureka, MO on 7/26. Was supposed to deliver 7/28, but somehow that didn't come to fruition. It got relayed by another driver because they were sick and I met them in Casey, IL. Scheduled to deliver Wednesday at 06:00, but I might try to deliver tomorrow since I could be there by around 12:30.

    Weight on BOL says 27xxx, but it doesn't feel like it weighs more than a few thousand.

    Delivering to some digital marketing company?

    One of the more bizarre loads I've hauled lol.

    Maybe they'll give ya one of those fun Topeka loads tomorrow lol. That hill on 160 fully loaded feels like it never ends. And then CO-10 felt like another 20 miles of downhill

    Lol i wouldn't mind that at all, there's pretty good miles on that run. They can keep the nightmare from the last time I did that run.
