    They redid the 7 way I hacked on there a little better for me yesterday lol. Only took 15 minutes at the shop.

    About to head to Craftsmen for a preloaded trailer going to Richmond, VA. I haven't seen Richmond since my second day driving over the road somehow. I've seen all 48 states since the first time, but not Richmond somehow lol. Should be an easy ride straight across 64. Low miles this week, but oh well. The two weeks before this made up for it and will roll over 930ish to next week and still have time for a 34 to hopefully get 3300+ on that check

    I went to Richmond, Va once at Climate. It was a CF Sauer delivery and reload at CF Sauer there. Kind've a neat place honestly. Really old Brick buildings an such. I'm really into old historic stuff like that.

    Yeah? Y'all are running a lot of the similar Climate lanes, it's a sign for Y'all to come back home lol, just playing. How was that shipper? I'm just rolling out of bed myself. I reloaded at a shipper in Duncan, SC for St. James. They set an appt for 330 pm so that made for a good nap

    If you're going to that CF Sauer place in Richmond, it's definitely a big lot to park overnight there. I've reloaded out of there the first time I went there. The last time, I went, I brought back coke. That made the WV mountains fun. Lol. Check the company directions with your navigation. The company directions can be a bit confusing, like something is missing.....weird

    Sadly, it's not the Sauer, so not sure about overnight parking. It'll be following a 34, so I guess it won't matter much anyways. It's technically Sandston, VA, but basically just outer loop of Richmond. This load *says* 25,000 pounds of beer on the bills, but beer shippers are experts at underestimating :D... on "accident" of course.

    Sounds like a good opportunity to stop in Murfreesboro at the BBQ place you mentioned if the timing works out right. Make sure you get a few deep breaths in before the Murfreesboro to Clarksville 100 miles lol

    Shoot man, I made it Mt. Vernon this morning lol. I got some coffee, and it was go time. I have 173 left and this load delivers tomorrow. Not sure what the next plan is yet, but one thing at a time. They haven't indicated that this will be a drop. God I hope so.

    You'll be going right past my home 20. I live in Cross Lanes, WV, exit 47, the same exit as the Mardi gras casino. Be careful going down Sand Stone mountain. Have a safe ride and enjoy the scenery.

    Ah, I barely missed ya once again. Just finished fueling and running a full pre trip on this noisy trailer 2525 lol. I usually just check belts and oil, but these older trailers get my anxiety going.

    Hopefully they'll let you drop and keep it pushing so you can get some decent miles and keep it pushing this weekend.

    Yessir, will do. I've always liked the Charleston area. My parents almost moved to Huntington at one point for work when I was a kid, but they chose your neighbor, Kentucky, instead

    It was a quick load. 30 to 45 minutes in an out.

    Were you in Mount Vernon earlier? I may have seen you pull in there to get fuel, quite a few drivers were pulling in and out of there. I was jotting load info down. I'm dropping at Walmart then reloading in Columbia to go to a Costco in Brookshire, TX.
