    Good luck Sam. If you have a decent driving record I would say you got a shot as they need more drivers out of the Henderson terminal I was told.

    Heading out tomorrow for Sumner, WA. Probably a Costco load if what I remember from another person is correct. Delivers on Thursday but perhaps I will be able to kick it off on Wednesday night. Anyone have any insights on early delivery?

    Ribeye marinating along with some frosty October fest beers at hand. Baking my first loaf of honey wheat bread in a while and the smell of the yeast doing their job is quite nice:)

    Sumner,WA is a COSTCO. There is a small Shell fuel stop at the exit going to COSTCO DC. It can be a pain to get in/out of, and it cost $12 to park. Poly will pay for one night of parking. Either the night before or after your delivery. They have no shower facilities. I've never tried to deliver more than an hour early so I don't know if they take early arrivals. Good luck.

    Well, I've been at home since Wednesday afternoon. I got the call from Backhaul this afternoon and I will be deadheading 219 miles tomm and picking up a load in Manchester, TN and going down to Waller, TX. It will be a live load and a drop and hook in Waller. After I drop in Waller, I will be going over to our plant in Mont Belviue, TX and picking up a load. I am going to try and get a load out of there going to Cottage Grove, MN and then grab a load to New England. We'll see how it all works out.

    Thanks for the heads up John. I'll make sure to grab a shower before arriving. I will update you if we can get unloaded early as well.

    Another solid day in after picking up my loaded trailer in Henderson. Knocked out 650 miles and called it a night in Boise. Still got 500 miles to customer but can't deliver until Thursday noonish so may get to sleep in a little bit in the morning.

    Does anyone know if these Columbias have a place to hook up an antennae line for my tv? I can't find one lurking around in the bunk area. I did unpack all of my new appliances and tested out the 900 W microwave and it worked fine so should be no problems with my slow cooker and coffee maker. Need to purchase some material as well to make a front curtain so I have more open space at night.

    Real nice drive up US93 out of Vegas. Not much traffic and my kind of scenery.

    I've never bothered to look for an antenna, so I'm not going to be any help.

    I think my Columbia has a coax cable in the passenger side middle cabinet. I'm in a loaner International right now, but should be back in GP tomm and I will check to confirm.

    Well no love on the early delivery at Costco:) Got a back haul picking up in Auburn, WA just up the road and delivering in Phoenix, AZ on Monday. Haven't decided whether to do a reset in Vegas and head out on Sunday afternoon or request to drop it and get something else. Guess it depends on how fast I can get loaded and rolling today but leaning on the keeping rolling option.

    Brought out the old grill last night for a perfectly marinated rib eye and some summer squash.
