Calex Express....My New Home!

Yes buddy, I DO love driving for a living, but what better place to take a reset than my beloved Nevada hmmm? It's one of the perks of going to California! Beats taking 34 hours in the Utah desert, no?

By the way, my wife told me it's okay to gamble, just not okay to LOSE! She said, "if you win send me the money - and if you lose just stay out until you earn it back driving, then send me THAT money!" Gosh I just love her to death... I'm just playing - she's the best. And by the way, I did send her $$$ after winning on Sunday in Wendover, so there!

Lobster buffet was incredible last night - just had to get through the line around the block practically to get in. Well worth it though. This Boomtown is nice, highly recommend for truckers with some time to spend - ample parking, inexpensive hotel and not as busy as the downtown Reno or Vegas areas.

Today is back to the grind - wash the clothes, take a shower and get ready to leave tonight - I can leave about 10pm PT for my drop in Livermore CA tomorrow morning - then ready to go for the produce load coming home.

Johnny, seriously, best of luck today at the dentist - I'm ROOTing for you! Call me when you feel like you can talk again comfortably my friend...

Rhino, it was nice to meet you the other day, sorry I didn't wait up. I had hours to run to get up there.
Here's my past week. Picked up Friday afternoon in Rotterdam for a early Monday morning delivery in Pottsville, Pa. Picked up Tuesday at Mountaintop, Pa for a load that went to Taunton, Ma for a Wednesday delivery. Now I'm dropping off first thing in the morning in Hamlin, Pa, going to Millersburg, Pa to pick up and drop off Friday morning in Norwood, Ma. I hope I'm home for the weekend and holiday!

I'll meet you at Millersburg tomorrow, We can run up to norwood together if you want. I never thought to give you my number either. I'm at the TA off exit 5 in Maybrook, Ny, I'll be heading to my delivery around 7, should be to Millersburg around 10ish. I gotta stop by the yard myself for fuel and what not so i'll run into you somewhere LOL.

 

that was me you waved at on 81 i was on my way back to the yard already.got to reading early and they took me in i was in millersburg at 8:15. i was trying to get to maybrook last night but my clock ran out at exit 19 so i stayed at the home depot there truck was next to go in when i left the yard so we will see do you take rt 1 into norwood it looks like if you get off of 95 you will run through the university maybe i will catch you somewhere on the way prob not leaving until 5 am appt for 13:30 on friday think i am going to start a different blog this was jonboys and we are taking it over on him by the way that was me yelling to you john on 81 but i lost you when i dropped over the hill... be safe drivers

 

I thought that was you. I'm at the willington ta now. Make sure you go to the distribution center and not the store, trust me I've made that mistake plenty of times, and if you turn and the distribution center is on your left, use the second enterance, they don't use the first one. Walk up to the second glass door, it says home depot on it. Then you park right where you come in, there is a porta potty there, just back in there and they come get you, when you unload you gotta disconnect the emergency line, lower the landing gear and sit and wait. Trust me I did it last week lol. Ill see you up there, there's a rest area right before the exit if you need a place to park tonight.

 

Well, just passed my road test and physical. It looks like I will be in on Wednesday for Orientation and have a truck by that afternoon. Wish me luck! I look forward to meeting you guys either in the yard or on the road.
