Good night from...

Just outside of Knoxville, All of 40 miles to go for my first drop at 0800 Monday, then on to my second. They have it said up for 1045, 110 miles away. The wisdon of CSR. Was sent a pplan, high value load, live load out of CHOO CHOO, and deliver 117 miles away at 0630 Tuesday. Declined it, for two reason, miles and the rules for parking, not within 200 miles of pick up point, and all of 117 miles for 15 hours after loaded. It was for Costco, but a del appt. So where to park. I know, the terminal, but oor and then deal with rush hour in morning. I have yet to see a Costco DC load that has been a drop.

 

19 pun of 20 of the loads to Costco, next door to the Sumner Terminal were drops for me.

 

I57 ex335 @petro.

50mi to delivery @0600.. hunger got the best of me and decided to call it a day.
is it spring yet? getting tired of snow, yuk.

 

Denver , CO. Just delivered my load to the final. Been sending mac 30 for the last 10 hours and nothing. Lots of trucks parked here at the terminal.

 

I am, totally.

I took Michelle shopping for her birthday to her favorite store.
She got a few outfits, a handbag, boots and a couple items of jewelry for the ~$100 that I had to spend.
It was a second-hand store, but nice stuff.
At first she thought of only going for a pair or two of jeans, and I told her to find more.
She was in heaven, it seemed, because she seldom shops just for herself.
I learned a lot about her in that one little shopping trip.
More, really, than since she was born 35 years ago.

And she is so close with my youngest older daughter, Luana. They are sisters in every sense. Luana was with her at every step.
And I was the odd one out. You know, the guy slowly stepping through the store as they checked out all the cool clothes and spent so, so, so, so, so many minutes in the dressing rooms trying everything on to get just the right look.

But, it was the first time in decades that I could do that for Michelle.
It was wonderful!!!

We got home, and as I was making dinner she dressed and re-dressed in her new outfits.

Then we all got fully stuffed on salmon, mashed potatoes, broccoli and rolls.
Made with my special flare, of course.


What Life is all about...
You're right!

sitting at sherman williams getting unloaded. then getting another heavy load picking up approx. ten miles from here heading to paris,tx. have until the 30th to get it there. hopefully i can get 500 miles in today and tomorrow maybe a little more. woke up to a little drizzling rain till i got here at my drop. now it stopped of course lol. drive safe everyone.

 

@ the J in Walton, KY

lucky for me the cashier hooked me up w/ a free shower, either that or i stunk bad enough to warrant a freebie... lol

love my new dm, she keeps me rollin with no "ill msg the planners" bs..so out of chi-town and its off to knoxville in the am..

 

Ashburn, GA enrte to Largo, FL. Was sent a pplan this morning, 117 mt and then 220 ldd, nope, and within 5 mins, another pplan that picked up 6 miles from where I mt'd. Feels like I am pulling a tanker again. Total of 8 tall totes that are not full, about 21K. Finally get the ride to smooth out, and darn, get cut off, hit the brakes and start to slosh all around again. Ohh, HAZ-MAT. Trying MAC 30, and nothing, and most of us know, t/s are far and few between. I have a funny feeling, due to my hours, I am not going to see something until Weds. I will have 5 left on my 70 when deliver, and only pu 7 at midnight.
