Ya we've had a pretty long two days. Yesterday we knocked out 675 miles then today we did another 698, so a measley 250 miles tomorrow is a cake walk!

 

Don't forget the 615 the day before.

 

698? Wow! I just set a personal record Tuesday. Long story short, I gave Waynesboro an easy plan on Monday morning to get me home in plenty of time for a very important appt. Wed. morning (arrive and drop @ RDC 1400 Monday, get a 10 in and deliver Jersey City Tuesday AM, then go home) and "they" ehem, ignored it, as when I made my empty call I was told Jersey City was covered, and I'd have to wait til morning for RDC to kick something out...duh, hence me calling this morning! Said they'd have to do a relay or something. Call in the morning, oh yeah we don't have anybody you could relay to, how about going to Halfmoon, D&H, and go home? Umm isn't that almost 700 miles? Yeah you should make it. Uh ok I guess I'll have to whether I have hours or not. Stood on the pedal all day. It's amazing how much better she rolls over hills when she's going the right speed for the gearing. Logged 701.1 miles and went 2 minutes over! And my petition for my wife to be permanent resident of this great land has been approved, mostly. Told you it was important!

 

Look at you go Hot Rod! When you keep that turbo boost up around 35 or 40 psi hills are only a minor inconvenience! Glad to hear we have a new resident, I thought it was an automatic deal for citizenship when you get married?

 

I just did the math for my week from Friday to this evening (thursday) 69h57m used, 4144 miles driven. Ooh. Rah.

Now I'm gonna sit here until I get hours back on Saturday and knock it out again at 0300 to beat Chicago before the weekenders get up and busy.

 

I wish it was! And this isn't even citizenship, just a permanent visa. Thanks for the well wishes. Hopefully I'll be back out tomorrow...or not. I feel zero motivation to leave on a Friday.

 

Oh c'mon Brian, everyone on here just loves leaving out on Friday and busting their humps all weekend! Ended up being the first truck on the list to get unloaded this morning and I was MT and outta there by 0715 and now I'm just kicking back and relaxing waiting to get a reload, not like I'll be doing much today since I only have 1:49 left on my 70 until midnight.

 

On the dock at good old Manfredi's in Kennett Square!

 

so how do getting dispatched on a weekend workout?? i gotta deliver tomorrow evening at Wal-Mart in Sterling, IL.. do i have to wait until Sunday or hell even Monday to get a reload?? I know i gotta swing thru Sheldon regardless if my truck is ready or not this week.. this thing is regening at some points every 50 miles and large amounts of blue smoke when it do, hell even the Oil Gauge dips to 20 to 25 PSI during pulls, thats not right is it??
