    Thanks. Always wondered if 522 was truck ok. Yeah, I have garmin and it does that same thing when i go home up 19 to 79 with the multiple weight limits listed on the bridges through there.

    At 0330 this morning, I was in the Loves at Etan Ohio getting coffee. There was a gentleman, his wife and his 5 year old daughter at the coffee counter. We struck up a small conversation. We all bopped up to the cashier and I let them go ahead of me. They paid for their purchases., we said our goodbyes then I went to pay for my coffee. It was paid for by the gentleman in front of me. Look, I can be a nasty SOB most times, but this really touched me. When I realized what happened, they were gone. Play it forward? Absolutely. There was no one behind me, but sometime today, I’ll do the right thing. Sure beats feet cleaning in the men’s bathroom. I’m thinking there’s hope for humanity.

    If I pass you today, I’ll stop and check on you. Might be a while though, I’m getting empty in Tipp City Ohio.

    IMG_5354.jpeg Look what I hooked to yesterday. I pulled many different trailers over the 10+ years here, but this reefer has got to be the raggiest POS ever, even worse than anything with Abilenes name on it.

    I always wondered if the other guys had stuff in their trailers that the receiver wanted first...or they just didn't like me...back in my Commiefornia Produce days that was true. Out of town white boy always waited for the locals to get empty first.

    No Volvo load from Toledo, must have put it on someone else if there was one being I wasn’t the only one loading at Fareva this morning. Getting paid layover to sit over the weekend to grab the Vegas BH load Monday. Kind of wish they would relocate since that one is a pain to get into and out of, especially if they don’t show on time and the business across the street opens and they park cars in the way. Hopefully grassmid doesn’t show up either cuz I always park in the dock 0300 to wait and hate when they want me to move to unload the other first, I always say no and they throw a fit, tuff nanners….lol! Hit or miss whether Im the only truck there or not when I get this load.

    Must be using our trailers for storage in Fosteria, no empties and lots of our trailers there. Was hoping one of them reefers would have been empty being next load comes out of Groveport. Hate bobtailing in rain and crap weather. Told to bobtail down. Decided to bounce to Circleville for the weekend so had Walmart and shower availability. From Findlay all the way to Circleville got stuck behind a car with Florida plates and blacked out windows that would not let me pass going down 23. Kept speeding up if I tried and slowed way down when I moved to the right again….I don’t know if they were a disgruntled former employee or had bad interactions with Abilene drivers in their past but it was really frustrating and infuriating all day stuck behind that arsehole….
