Climate Express

I used to not care for running on recaps but as long as ya got decent hours coming back it's not bad. I've done it here a couple times an it's always worked out decent.

 

Don't ask me how ive managed to avoid this for a month and a half, but i just had my first "kinda tight angle back between 2 trucks at a truck stop" moment lol. Got backed in just fine, like an old pro...but #### are my nerves shot to hell lol.
Did 607.1 miles in 10h1m of drive time. Would've been 9h59m but I had to pull over and fix my left side curtain cuz it came loose and slid all the way across and blocked my mirror. Not too shabby going from Midwest DC to Anna Tx. Took off at 03:48 this morning, landed at 14:39. I swear I make Robert and Travis scratch their heads sometimes with how I run lol.

 

It's nice shutting down my early. I usually try to have the same attitude when running -- knock out the miles ASAP and it takes a lot of stress out of it all. Simple things like flat tires don't ruin days as often when people run hard and stay ahead of schedule.

 

Headed to New Century from Greenville. Routing says US25 to 26. I've never been on all the way towards 26, but I'll give it a shot. At this point, I'm just trying to check off roads I haven't been on when the opportunity arises. 30,000 is the weight, so it'll be a bit of a crawl, but sure beats 44k through WV

 

Yeah, if I've got the hours and I'm rested, I'd rather knock out a long run and get it over with asap so I can take a longer break lol.

 

Was certainly a climb lol. Even with 30k, it was a <40mph crawl. Think it might have been a bit steeper than the climb on 26. Could definitely get a little sketchy if someone grossing 80k was headed east and not expecting it.

Made it to East STL tonight. I-40 in TN is much more pleasant after 20:00, so turned out to be a 650 mile day. Will be a short day tomorrow, but at least I'll be ready early for a Sauer reload Thursday.
