    Snowville UT at the J in an actual parking spot :eek::cool:

    I'm between two refers, but I don't care. I didn't have to get "creative" for parking.

    I was thinking I was going to be on the ramp myself. I was actually shocked to find a space.

    Rocks, I have never been OTR so correct me if I am wrong ok. Everything you posted about was done without any compensation to you correct? Having to do a 34 reset when you haven't used up your 70 seems to me another advantage to the company...frequent 34 resets would be a huge red flag, especially for a driver like you. Your always prepared, thinking ahead, and professional I sure hope you find a better fit for yourself in your next company. I realize you have to take the good with the bad blah blah blah but "34 hour reset" seems to nice a term when it is due to company incompetence. Have a good day.
     
    CertifiedSweetie, Rocks and Hammer166 Thank this.

    How's this for solitude ROCKS? Spent 3 nights this week here:
    frankfort.jpg

    It's the KDOT mixing strip 2 mi west of Frankfort, KS, K-9 HWY is just to the left though, but not very busy. I was running a loop that Frankfort was in, and just so happened that I would run out of hours by the time I arrived to dump. That "rock" pile is the Buildex/Haydite we were hauling in. When I shot this photo, I did actually have plenty of time left, BUT, I was to load in the morning at the local elevator. Haul that to Emporia, then run back up the same highway (K-99) to Alma, take that to KC, then back to New Market to load more Haydite for Frankfort.

    Now yesterday that loop was sort of broken. From Frankfort, I then had to load Gypsum at Jeffrey Energy Center, North of St. Mary's, and haul that to a hog farmer's place out in the middle of nowhere, NE of Nevada, MO. Then run back up to New Market, rinse and repeat. This farmer had ordered 8 truck loads of this stuff. This would have cost him close to $10k. Wasn't that bad, however he just managed to have 2 electric wires where we dumped. Today, when I lowered my bed, it missed one of the wires by only 3-4 ft. The guy wanted me to dump there, and he was real nervous about that wire (I was too), but I didn't let on that I was. I played it off, told him no problem, I'll miss it, and thankfully did.

    Back home for this weekend. Looks like we're finally finished with winter!!!!

    Spearville Ks. Came prepared this time. Had a shower in York Nebraska and a big lunch as well. Wasn't getting caught out with a cold shower and no supper like I was last time I came this way.
