    I have been as far North as SD, we have an account in ATL. I think that is only certain times of the year. That is why I said we sometimes still have to cross the MS. I have been to MO, I know we have a regular in AL. For the rest we spend is into LA, and TX. Once in awhile we are sent to also help out the Cali board usually bring a load down and repower the load on the yard so it can get to FL

    Sittin ova here shaking my head at some of these post.

    Left out earlier this month end'd up blowing a cap on I95 in Ga, two other IRT drivers actually stop'd to check on me. After that went and play'd around in Canada doing repowers across the border for a week, can't wait to see what that check is going to look like (never done repowers for a straight week). Left Pembroke on Sunday to head to the port for a Monday load and had a brake chamber malfunction on RT36 about 2mi from I390. Tried to cage it on the side of the road, but the diaphragm was ripp'd which allowed the spring to shift so i couldn't get the bolt to lock into it properly.. Call'd my dad and he suggest'd i just back the brakes off and cap the air lines with dimes so i could still use my brakes and not have to rely on the jakes and trailer brakes.. it all worked out fine, made it the five miles to the TA in Dansville and Carl had already called and did the necessary paperwork.. Was in and out in an hour.

    That's pretty much my month in a nutt shell.

    Its pretty good here i think. Most everthing is out loaded then deadhead back to clovis for the next load. But there are times you get caught at Kellers in Winnsboro Tx and have to sit. Most ive sat there has been 48 hours. Here latly its been better. They have been ahead and then its a drop and hook

    Been sitting at OJs since 2am waiting to get a tank wash so I can go to the port and pick up a juice load for Canada that was scheduled to load on the 13th. I figured I would rest up and take a nap until whenever I woke up. The load was two days late when I got it, a few more hours aren't gonna matter. Right? Well it's a good thing I slept all I could because I'm still waiting.

    Non-existant communication strikes again. Since no one ever tells anybody anything around here or at this useless ####### company of ours, I did not know OJs had a second drop lot behind the truck stop, which means I have been sitting here all ####### day for no ####### reason.
