Boy they sure have jacked up this stretch of 44 down here east of Rolla holy crap this stuff's rough

 

Just in case you didn’t know, always take the left lane thru there going eastbound lol

 

It's terrible, man. It's worse every single time I cross it. Doesn't matter what speed you go, it sucks lol.

 

Headed to Robinson for a load going to Palmyra. I guess I didn't ruffle too many feathers with those 4 pallets. Nice change of pace to bypass St. Louis altogether this week

Once I saw the notes saying 'no washout needed', I was ecstatic lol. I need to invest in a leaf blower instead of sweeping every groove individually.

 

Notes about no washing out or washing out specifically weren't in the load info's when I was there. It may of said make sure trailer was clean an full of fuel. I always used a cheap leaf blower from walmart an just swept it up off the ground at rear of trailer. I carry a five gallon trash bucket to dump my messes in. I'm a firm believer in leaving an area as clean or cleaner than i found it.

 

E-logs changed our world drastically. I used to get a shower an a hot meal every day. With paper logs i just ran my day an made sure i had a legal log to show for it. An for those that say well ya get a half hour break every day so there is no reason ya can't get a shower every day I can honestly say BS cuz ya can't count on the fact when ya stop that there won't be a line that prevents ya from getting that shower.

 

Usually it just says clean and full of fuel. This one specifically said 'no washout needed. Robinson has a washout bay'. Thought that was handy.

Agreed about the mess. I can't stand seeing people's pallet scraps, nails, plastic, and other trash on the ground. I always just leave one door shut and the other cracked and sweep everything to the edge and then walk a trash can over to the back of trailer and sweep it directly into it. If no trash can, I just sweep it into a dust pan and into a bag. Pallet scraps in the side box. It's sad to see rest areas in very nature oriented states like Wyoming, Colorado, etc. get littered with trash.
