Copy that, thanks for the come-back. Y'all might see me around some more in the near future.

 

brian first i would like to say partially apologize with that load you have as that was to be my load this morning but do the situation i had in the truck i moved in i couldn't make it on time to pick it up even tho i didnt know i had a certain time to be there....

matt, its has 230000 on it and it rides pretty #### good.. im still not completely comfortable as i wish the seat can go back further.. but overall im pretty impressed, still miss my pete but this will do.. and i turned my truck in with 474421, when i left they was stripping the poor thing down..

 

by the way brian you can park on the side of the street at the wal mart.. dont turn into there driveway but you can park on that little street... I-80 to I74 to I70 to US35 to I64 to 77 INTO NC to 74/73 to 40 to 85.....

 

That's they way I was going to suggest going to Wally World. That one actually isn't to badd to unload at, one of the few I actually don't mind going to. @Saienga to be honest with you, I rarely have a problem making appointments by being rushed. Ya, every now & then it gets tight but that's trucking. Most of the places we go to are pretty good about loading, sure there are times that you are reeeeeeeealy close.

 

Oh yeah Brian, sounds like something is goofy with your batteries so you may want to have the shop test them. Hell, I've done a 34 and I didn't start to get the buzzer until about 30 hours in.

 

True, true. Beats the stuffing out of having 24 hours to go 300 miles.

 

Hey guys have a load that delivers # 1400 mon in front royal I can be at waynesboro terminal sunday afternoon but know that's. A few miles out of the way but it would allow me to go home and then come back Monday and make delivery you guys think they would have a problem with that? Tractor is 657 for whoever asked

 

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to run 35, mostly because I was looking at 695 miles via 65/64, which I knew was a practical impossibility. 35 is 47 miles shorter, but you're right Larry, that double nickel is an SOB. If I knew beforehand there wasn't a bear in sight, we could have made some time! I thought taking 35 direct from 70 was a good idea, but in hindsight I think I should have cut down from 75. Anyway, I'm here at the 191 at a Shell half stop for an 8 (not enough time for a ten) with 21 minutes on the clock. That will get me halfway there haha.

Monday I get the rest of this off at the port of Norfolk, yikes. I've never been to anyone's port. Anything I need to know? Any truck stops up there besides that awful Big Charlie's place? Can I park on the street near delivery somewhere, or is that somewhere I don't wanna be at night?

Mushroom I'm kinda new myself but yeah if you got lots of extra time on the load I don't think anyone will mind.

 

Hawk I tell ya what, I'll forgive you if you trade trucks with me This friggen Petercar...I stopped at that TA on 64 before the bridge into Charlestonland and the Pilot, and when I started rolling again, I was like hmmm where'd my power go? Looked at the boost gauge and surprise surprise the mystery de-rate is back, just in time for 77! I shut it off two times after coming through the toll booths hoping to reset it, to no avail. Then when I started pulling up out of the 77/64 split the boost was back!? No fault codes.

How do you like the mirrors on the 660? I think they are too small.? I want big truck mirrors on my KW!
