That's one of the reasons I like Reefer is because I don't have to ask for jumps.
Real time Update. Just parked at a service plaza on the Toll way. I'm 96 miles away and the street is a little too narrow for me to park there overnight and fill comfortable. So I'll park here for the night. They told me they don't start receiving till 8 am so that was another reason. I got my next pp as well and that load is not due to pick up till 1800 or 6pm. So going to do a lot of sitting tomorrow so might as well get a few hundred miles under my belt.
Real Time Trip Planning. Roll with Dino and others.

Here is Next Pre Plan. Load miles 635 MT miles 28
PU Romeoville,IL 11/30/12 1800
Deliver Clarksville,AR 12/02/12 15:45
Maybe I can get a restart out of this not sure but at least my hours will be building up. Haven't had a restart since home time. So far 10 day or more and still rolling. Anyway time to get something to eat and few z's.
Have 3:22 mins left on the 70 Gaining 8:37 mins at midnight. Only drove 6hr 35mins today. 411miles. When you have plenty of time on loads something there is no fight in your body to get there. I actually wanted to stop at hour 3, but wasn't sure what type of pre plan I would get. Once I got PP and seen all the time I would have on next load. Killed the drive so we parked it. Anyway hope all is well in your part of the world. We are back quiet.scottied67 Thanks this. -
Made it to receiver. Went ahead and started a little later then I planned. Went on my bank account and they charged me for 2 over draft fee's when I only went over on 1 so have to call them in a few and see what's up with that.
The receiver told me on the phone they start at 8am. Was going to get here an hour early then decided since I have no appointment anyway. I don't really want to deal with the early 7 to 8 am rush hour clowns. So estimated to get here at the 8:45 range and did so. Traffic wasn't bad at all and when I got here. They still had there trucks in the door loading them and 2 other guys in front of me, and so far their trucks haven't left the door, and the OTR trucks haven't got put in the dock. So it was a good strategy on my part for coming later then earlier. Was able to park in their lot. The street is littered with no parking signs but it is wider then I thought it was. What is a no parking sign to a big belly big rigger anyway lol. Anyway hope to get this off and then head over to my pick up. Maybe they will load early but I doubt it. Picking up frozen pizza's I think Delivering them to a wal mart distribution center. The good thing is that distribution has a truck stop right across the street. So any how more info more later. Have a good day and a great weekend. -
Checked in @ Romeoville 1200 ish for my 1800 pick up. Looked like some wine might have been damaged when unloading because there was a few drops in the trailer. Cleaned it up with some paper towels and water. Hope they accept trailer. I have to check back in when trailer is at 20 degree's. Shouldn't take long. If no problems and I'll be headed to Clarksville, AR shortly. We back quiet.

I drive for the Shipper JBS. So I pick it up whenever I get there. That time leaving is just something that comes from I don't know where guess an estimate.

Well have been put in a door so hopefully they will start loading me pretty soon. Only have 6 hrs and 40 mins left on my clock. Time is ticking away minute by minute. Hopefully I'll have enough time to get to my fuel stop in Channahon, Il. Not even sure if there is a lot of parking there. I'm sure its not being a pilot. About to go check. C ya on the next update.
Just checked and that pilot doesn't even have showers from the reviews. I been there a long time ago. What a cluster bomb that place is. I better look for someplace else or just stay where I'm at until 8 hour break is up. -
c'mon man, you gotta be straight with the info -
There's only 1 Cactus,TX that has a JBS Plant, and that's the one North of Amarillo.
