    Pete... 585 miles is a good running day man... :yes2557: And it doesn't matter how many breaks you take... as long as it works for you... Each one of us has a different way of doing our jobs according to our loads, our schedules and ourselves... I like to run hard, non stop even when it's not necessary, even when I end up running only 2500 a week... but hey, when this new HOS start in July, I may try the no reset/ recycle hrs only method for a while... I have done it before and didn't like it... After 2 weeks only I was dying to take a reset... :biggrin_25523:

    I once had a tire blow to smithereens on a trailer. Another trucker offered to follow me about three exits to a T/A. I did that rather then TRY to contact Road Rescue! I let T/A mess with all that!

    I am of course at home. And I am going to bed as it is a "school" night!

    Y'all have fun wherever you are!
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    HAHAH.... I have been at this truck stop since yesterday early afternoon. And I haven't sit still for 10 mins... Well, I slept for 12 hrs... And that was necessary and very enjoyable...:yes2557: But other than that, I walked to and from shipper -which is just around the corner - to double check the address, I cooked, I did some paperwork, took my laptop to McDonalds and searched the web for some info I need, called my dear beloved dad in Brasil, cleaned the windows, inspected truck, swept the trailer, swept and wiped the floors inside truck, called a couple of friends, sent a few emails, did my paper log, after rechecking my elog, now planning my next trip after this one that will p/up tomorrow.... and I am not finished yet...
    So, once I deliver this load that I pick up tomorrow, I will be picking up another one near St. Louis, MO and then going to California!
