In other news, have my load offer to leave out today. Pick up this afternoon in Carol Stream, IL for a Friday delivery in Hinton, VA.

 

Actually all you have to do to get a wash job at a Beacon is call and talk to Andy for the green light. When the attendant from there calls in for the PO# they will more than likely get Doug and he will ask to speak to you to verify you got the OK. I'm to the point where I just pay for it then call in to Andy for a PO# directly. I normally try to get it washed during a service or I will wash it over the weekend. Not sure if they changed the policy but that's how I've always functioned without a problem.

 

Got a nice 3 FULL days off this weekend! By the time I made it back to Lincoln I was fried and not in the greatest mood at all! Funny part about it though was I saw my wife a grand total of 5 hours before she hopped a flight to California for the weekend. We did have a little bit of a Mexican standoff thought when I got home. She needed to get her nails done before she left so as a reward for sitting in my own personal Hell at the nail salon we hit up Paul's BBQ for lunch. Played a little golf on Saturday & got a chance to fire up my new grill for the first time too. Ended up leaving the house around 1100 on Monday and latched onto a Cargill-Schuyler to Sygma in Charlotte for 2100 tonight & 0500 in Abingdon tomorrow. This Sygma is like all of the others, smack dab in the middle of an industrial park with very LIMITED parking options. I checked the Pilot at the same exit with no success. That has got to be the most screwed up place on the face of the planet BTW! I decided to wander up here and scout out the parking situation and they have all of their trailers parked along the street so I figure I'll be safe. I did talk to the receiving supervisor though and he said sometimes the Fuzz gets on a power trip and will start ticketing for parking along the curb so we"ll see how this turns out!

 

Good luck Husker. I'll be needing a good reset here pretty soon..

Last couple trips home I've had to help friends or family with moving/other crap. Bout ready to not even go home, just head to Boji and tell no one and get some fishing in.

Currently @ the TA in Nashville waiting on a load from Tyson. Need to be in Faribault MN by Friday morning. Some night driving in my future I suppose.

Be safe all.

 

Speaking of night driving I p/u a load out of Dakota City made it all the way to Avoca,Iowa gotta be in Abingdon,VA at 0600 friday morning so i will be running nights. In other news it's hot as dog #### here in Iowa heat index above 105 looks like I'm idling...lol be safe boys.

 

At the PeeLot in Freemont, IN for the night. #### tired today for some reason. Deliver in Hinton, VA Friday morning but I can actually be there tomorrow. Does anyone know if we can take our break at Virginia Poultry Co-Op?

 

Call Waynesboro tomorrow and tell them your ETA, more than likely your going to drop your load.. you might have a reload at Hinton or bobtail 10 miles to Mt. Crawford or Dayton for a reload.. There's a truck stop about 7 miles back in town in Harrisonburg you can camp out there before or after you drop your load more than likely

 

At the Terre Haute IN rest area...I cut driving short for the day...My load isn't due to Front Royal til friday at 3pm (was also offered a 2am load too but took the late one)....been running hard since the fulton market load in Chicago...had 2 tight deliveries back to back after my chy town run...so I took an easy load...Luckily Tyson in Olathe was running ahead and had this loaded by noon...(I couldn't leave til 2 pm anyway and appt for p/u was at 1900) so I am ahead of the game...going to try and get it in early friday...and see what they have for me coming out of VA...(I kinda wanna run to Jacksonville FL to check on some things)...

 

If you get a load going to front royal you are going to be dropping so the appt times are really not much of a big deal unless you are late. As far as going to Jacksonville I wouldn't get my hopes up don't think we get a whole lot going that way.
