    Got to come back down on 395 yesterday afternoon. Load offering today was to go back up there. Just ignored it. Home time for PHX on Monday, and there was no way to get to PHX from Sparks on a Saturday. Another offering was SLC, and again, no way to get to PHX. Now getting a short one the del on Sat evening in Tolleson at Fry's. This week is shot. Can not get into KW until Monday morning. Now just have to hope that can get a decent one with a Weds evening del so that can save this week.

    Blsqueak,
    I am truly not stalking you but I saw a nice Blue KW at about 1:30 p.m. going south on 395 just south of the airport in Reno. Having just read that you were is Sparks the night before I thought it might have been you. If it was you, it amazes me how people interact daily and never even know about it. Take care!

    Maybe not a total waste ... you may get a couple of hours - if not more - of detention at Frys.


    Alright I took your word for it. I was offered Billings or SLC out of Pueblo. I took the shorter, heavier load to SLC expecting a better shot at a load coming out of SLC.

    Burlington, CO. Will drop at Pueblo tonight, then pick up tomorrow afternoon and deliver in SLC Sunday.

    Back at the Barstow, CA TA. Dropped off near LA, got pp before they were done unloading me to pick up in Carson going to Minooka,IL. Gonna be my best week so far, 3300 miles. Probably could have made it to Vegas but I have a little time, and it got nice and cool here yesterday once the sun went down, that and I want to get on early mornings.

    Ehrenburg, AZ. Do not have to deliver until 1730 on the 23rd. Here is one to figure out. Del 7/23 @ 1730. PTA 07/23 @ 0600. Now how does a person do that. Computer is really messing up. As soon as mt, drop the trailer, and head to the hotel for 2 nights. One thing that I need to get fixed, having a power problem pulling hills. On road and Terminals say that my truck was turned down, KW says that Swift does not turn them down. Who do I believe. On road also said that since I own the truck now, it is permissible to turn it back up. KW says that all of Swifts truck are set at 400HP. Denver tells me, 319 hp. I was passed the other day by a company truck. He had almost 40K and I had 25K. Tell me that I do not have any power. Heck, climb a mtn with mt trlr, will drop a gear

    From My Trainers Mom's house somewhere in S. Carolina. I think I'm the only white guy for a couple of mile. I went out to get my towel out of the truck and I think I overheard one of the neighbors say "Lord all mighty there goes the neighborhood". :biggrin_25524:
    They have been very nice people and are taking good care of me. Good People
    Sunday Huger then off to Dallas
