Good night from...

Escaped Fl ... deliver in AR tomorrow, then on to CT for a Monday delivery.

 

The Peelot in Tyson, AL. What a difference in fuel prices today. Topped off yesterday in SC, $3.62 at a Quick Trip. The Peelot next door, $3.79. Then in NC, $4.13/gal. Got back to GA, Quick Trip $3.85 and the Peelot, $4.03. What a difference. Rec'd msg, I have to take a SIM class. Not sure which one. This time of year, probably a skidding one. Laredo on Sunday afternoon. After loaded last night 5 hours late, rec'd 3 msgs, running late, MAC 22, was told not to send since it is a t-call load, This morning received two more. Ohhh well.

Now know the reason for the difference in the Fuel Prices, SC, no IFTA, NC, .37

 

picxked up a sweet load out of new orleans la heading to cedar rapids ia. have to be there monday morning at 7 am. normally i don't post whats in the truck unless i'm posting it after i drop it. but these guys wre great. had me in and out in 30 minutes. had a 1500 appt and got there at around 12. guy says domt worry. wait till a dock opens up. was one truck waiting ahead of me. oh... its 2000 lb bags of sugar. 22 palletts, so its a heavy load. sweeet!i lol. got about 660 miles to go too. might be able to find a place sunday to watch the game hopefully

 

I turned that load down on Tuesady, because of 1600 p/u time ... good to know they load early.

In 'tucky on the way to CT.

 

Flying Hook, Orange, TX. For some reason the routing on my GPS changed from Yesterday for today. Yesterday had me going down US 59 to Laredo, and today, go into San Antonio and get 35 down. Same miles. Lets see what it does in the morning.

 

Mine did the exact same thing a couple of months ago.
I wonder if the toll road ( 8 ) to get to 59 had something to do with it...lol.
For what its worth - Did it on a weekend too , no traffic , good road , easy driving ,
park at the terminal or at the pilot just down the street.

 

My GPS (RM510) changes it's mind also, from time to time.
But I have a fuel route to follow, and it eventually catches up.

What I often find is that my fuel route is actually the best route.

 

Every time that I go to Houston, it is always routing me on the toll road. Really did not want to take 59 from Houston all the way to Laredo.

 

Mine has an option to allow, or not, toll roads.

 

I can't believe it Steve hasn't posted, He has been at home.. it's the bugs 6th B-day today. So he's been enjoying all the comforts of home, the love of our faithful dogs, home cooked meals, chores I have put off for him to do, a real bed, a private shower, the hugs of our little boy and the ignoring of our oldest hey he loves his xbox, he can't stay here forever he'll drink all the beer and find a reason to go.. Oh yeah I want to spend huge amounts of money on a vacation so he has to work. But he is enjoying his hometime and the weather in Phx has been great. Good Night Boys...
