    Rolled from Atlanta towards WA, was rerouted on 80 instead of 90 getting too close due 3 hour delay in Atlanta traffic, was repowered in Heyward. Went and picked up a load in Idaho even though it was a day late being picked up and I advised dispatcher of that, this load was late then the shipper didnt have the product and had to wait ton be picked. I also was running out of hours on my 70, this new load was going to albany NY. Good miles but running extremely hard full 11 everyday, one day i was 8 mins over due to one rest area full and two t/s full. ended up at a weigh station that night. Did a 34 reset in Grand Isles, NE. Repowered here for a load to PA. Good miles also, I think I got over 3k miles last week. Sorry so short I have alot of details including milage, hours, and idle time too but I just got internet at this t/s and now its time to start planning my trip. Later Fellas,

    3510 miles last week 0 miles this week to a snafu a sitting at a truck stop for 4 days waiting on a load that ended up given to another carrier. so I dead headed 220 miles to tipica kansas pick up a load in dropped off in orlando which will be noted on next week's check. I still don't have my inverter in my truck after 2 months I guess I don't know . I hope to get out west soon and then I can start eatin a lil bit more healthy with a fridge and microwave than out of a cooler . stopping to get ice everyday sucks .
