The adventures of 'Team Klingon'

Yep we used those numbers!! We are rolling now - we also had internet, so were able to check the webcams too... we got moving about 30 miinutes AFTER they opened the roads... didn't want to compete with the 'super truckers' that bolted out of the parking area...

 

We have the mobile hot spot from Verizon - so if there is Verizon service, we have wifi - what is nice is that we can link up to 5 devices to it - only need 2 for Gary and I, but it has been worth it's weight in gold!!

 

Well the time being stuck bumped us back enough that we lost one of our presets - we got another load though... picking up at the same place we dropped, but 23 hours later

SOOO we are taking advantage of it and splurging checked into a 'nice' hotel - bath/coffee in the room/TV and a bathroom I don't have to get dressed to use!! There is even laundry down the hall...

Can't do it often, but it sure is a nice splurge!!

 

Well we have hit 3 different dealerships in 3 days...

1) just to get a clearence light - we have 'special' ones and couldn't get it OTC at a truck stop - sigh - they cost more this way - LOL!

2) a general check up - we were getting 'codes' and the 'On Guard' system was showing an error every once and again - since that is tied up with our cruise control and breaking system, wanted to get it checked... thank goodness that was covered by the warrentee!!

3) front end alignement - got some serious outside edge wear on our steers... and only 75K on them... now to wear down the middle of them to catch up with the sides

So I guess I won't be too upset that these last couple load haven't been back to back. However our miles are going to suck this next week... such a trade off :/

This next load is a 'fish' load - and we are heading into the heart of Chicago with 5 stops - Weeee!!! Wish us luck -
