    Yep ... The last time I was there I came in the back way form Wyoming via Bear lake ... never, never, never, never, never, never go that way ... well maybe once, the scenery/view is spectacular.

    Frank good luck ... I agree with everyone else shake it down and get a thorough inspection, including an oil analisys. Alignment is a good idea to get done every 6 to 7 months ... then get any issues taken care of the first 30 days. ... Watch your coolant level ... it should sit half way between the cold and hot line when cold. Shops have a bad habit of wanting to top it off to the hot line, when cold, during service, this will eventually blow your egr cooler.

    KS on I70 at the Pilot, near I35, can't remember the town off hand.

    Picked up a load of potatoes headed for Topeka, along with half a dozen other Swift drivers.
    Sat in line nearly an hour, then they loaded me too light and had to get another 2,000 pounds put in.
    Then I killed some time weighing and adjusting tandems, and helping out a couple other drivers get their weights correct.
    We all have quite a bit of time; most of us don't deliver until tomorrow afternoon and its only 416 miles away.

    45k of loose potatoes.
    I'll re-weigh here in the morning just in case the load rolled back some. The only weigh station on this trip is just before Topeka.

    At the Flying J in Anna, TX for the 2nd time in about 10 days. I like the place plus it's only 20 minutes from final in the morning.

    Was planning to hold out for a west-bound load until they shot me a PP for a 1-day load that picks up tomorrow on the east side of Dallas and delivers in Baton Rouge on Wednesday. Will make for a decent week, just over 2600 miles.

    Well ... that's probably better than not waking up.
