Good night from...

I'm in Harrisburg, PA.

And I hope I don't get my first service failure on this load.

I'm recycling hours on my 70, and I came up short by about an hour.
The miles seemed to work, at first. But when I got the fuel route it went sour because Swift is trying to save money by routing me on the back roads instead of I90 with tolls. When will they learn that all the stop and go eats more fuel than paying a couple tolls on open highway?
I had an extra 12 miles mt, and an extra 55 miles loaded - on a '331' mile run.

When I was pretty sure of the time I called my DM and told him. He said he would make contacts and let me know.
He sent me a QC saying to do the best I can, and if I can't deliver tonight to deliver tomorrow.
Haven't done a Mac 22 on this one, since I made the call and got the QC that delivery tomorrow would be fine.

 

So what was that address again?

At the TA, Eloy, AZ. Heaviest load ever at 79,960. Even heavy I was passing a lot of trucks hill climbing; I like the way this Prostar climbs. No pplan yet but PTA is 11am so it will probably be the usual 3am. Had a pplan come in last night 2100 miles to VA but I couldn't pick it up at the appointment time so bye bye.

I'm in Tifton, GA... I 75 ex 60... Dropped at the Target DC and they had no Mtys... Of corse I can't make next load because of needing trl solution, Qualcomm being down, and only 3 hours on my 14 for the day... Crap.. Woulda been a good start to the week too... Nut huh...

 

Beloit, IL. Love this mpg. Dropped to 9.1 today when hit the rolling hills of IA. Still not complaints.

 

Have to log off Hubby is Home

 

That would be South Beloit, IL. Beloit is in WI.
Wouldn't want your logbook to be wrong...

 

Probably e-logs, though, so it wouldn't be wrong.

 

At a Petro east of Kingman, AZ, I-40. Got a load from Tolleson/Phoenix Costco going to Las Vegas and would have been spending the night there if it hadn't been for the QC cf. The construction work on US-93 south of Kingman is pretty much finished and it's a nice ride.

I got a call from a planner in Phoenix this morning at about 11 as my PTA came up asking me to do a favor and drop off my empty at an office pogue's house to be used for the family move. I was given directions into a residential neighborhood to the very small cul de sac where this person's house was and, when I asked where they wanted it dropped, was told I was supposed to wait while they loaded it and take it to the new place, wait again and take it away. Yeah, no. I made sure it wasn't blocking anyone's driveway and dropped it. If I remember right, someone on this forum was refused the use of a trailer for the family move...

As my favor payment I got this Costco load and a back-up from North Las Vegas to Ellensburg, WA. Going trout fishing next week!

Well, I bragged on Fred's truck a little too soon. He's broken down in Nashville, in this heat, with a busted water pump waiting on a tow to the Volvo dealer.
