    Finally got home, got into warners about 2 am after having going through a couple of mechanical gremlins with the truck when i moved in, looks like eddie's is living up to their reputation after i saw the wonderful job they did of "detailing", got the trailer washed out for the next load when i come out of the house monday. After that they had me go into the kw place in syracuse to get the a/c and the reverse light switch on the tranny fixed(eddie's couldnt figure out how to fix it, they were busy with the race car lol), then headed home. That aux port on the sirius radio came in handy, once i got hoooked up and pulled out of front royal, and jumped back on 81 i cranked that baby up, and had my favorite metal tunes blasting, which was nice, because i was just about holding my eyelids open with duct tape once i got into warners.

    Ooooooh, never been to that Land O' Frost but if it's like the other one's I've been to there isn't much for parking there so you may want to just try and nab a spot at the Peelot. You know Brian you may actually end up liking that schedule running around that neck of the woods. Are you in a pretty small running area?

    I think he said his average length of haul was going to be 17 miles.

    Holy crap, that's not bad at all! I figured he'd be running into the 5 burroughs & Philly plus other glorious hot spots the Northeast has to offer. But I guess with a daycab he would be SOL if he ran out of hours somewhere and needed a place to take a 10.

    Hey Brian be careful bouncing around Jersey, and regarding the shift you have, you know the new guys always get bottom rung.

    Regarding my question about Land O Frost in Madisonville Ky, yes you can park right in front of the gate, 5 trucks only. Well 8 skids of my load we're rejected and they found another buye,r C.Budding in Chitown delivery 5am. Tuesday, then a brokered load fron Chitown to Sioux Falls for a Wednesday am delivery. So is I90 the best route from Chitown to Sioux Falls?


    Happy Trails

    Yes. There might be some other roads that are better to take to get there, depending on where you originate in Chicago (I don't know where your customer is), but ultimately you want to wind up on 90 and stay there.
