Good night from...

I will try that out tomorrow, my cruise started working when I woke up and took off, jake break still wasnt but I will try out your idea next time.

 

Sometimes it just takes a shut down and restart - like any computer system.

 

figures, for a few minutes I kept turning it on and off seeing if it would kick in, checked fuses once I stopped for the night thinking possibly it might use a fuse and then it starts working the next time I started the next morning

 

Oh snap then. It's all good though, as I got closer to the final the GPS was saying 48 more miles so I zoomed in and it was only actually 6 miles away. The GPS wanted me to go past the final exit by about 21 miles, turn a youee and return back 21 miles so I ended up almost 2 hours early. Sent my arrival outside the gate and went off duty figuring to wait til they opened. Guy comes out some time later and asked to see the paperwork and assigned me a door. Took only 6 minutes on duty to open doors and dock, send mac 15 and jump in the sleeper. 2 hours to unload and 6 more minutes on duty to send empty call which I had already pre-filled out. Left out of there with a a little over 5 hours left on the 70. Called up the KW shop 3 miles away and got down there in and out in 3 hours, got my AC fixed and primed and charged yay.

 

nice!

I think my AC needs charged, its not blowing very cool, luckily im in Oregon right now and its nice weather

 

At the J in Brookshire, TX on my way to Cleveland, NC with a Freightliner load. Stopped short as I didn't make it out of Laredo till noon and parking spots are hard to come by in east Texas after 6:00 pm.

Truck is running great. Got 8+ MPG from central OR to Laredo with 32K in the box. Gonna be a nice week, over 3500 miles!

 

Very nice, at my current rate im going to be lucky if I can get close to 2k for the week, just have to hope for a better week next week. I averaged 7mpg according to the qualcomm going over those mountains coming to Oregon, my load was 18k
next load is a heavy one though 45k
Was hard for me to find a parking spot here in Clackamas too, ended up spending the night across the street of the customer where I sat and watched tons of trucks going down looking too.

 

Scatter Creek rest area off the I5 in washington.

I ended up spending over 8hours at Fred Meyer, I went and dropped my empty at the Troutdale terminal then bobtailed over to pick up my heavy ### load, got on my route and was scouting for a place to scale out when I see the dreaded sign "Weigh station weigh in motion 2 miles" and I was like ##### im screwed, it ended up giving me the bypass as I was praying to get the bypass or my weights be ok. I got the bypass and went on to a Loves, I scaled out since I knew I couldnt push my luck at the 2nd scale and I was 34980 on my tandems so I went and stopped at this rest stop, adjusted my tandems a few holes then called it a night. I tried to move my tandems at the Loves but the #### thing wouldnt release, tried it again at the rest stop and bounced it back and forth a couple times to finally get the lever to come out so I should be good to hit the road after I get my 10 and some sleep.

Side note for the scale receipt do I just scan them with the bol or do I have to do anything special to get reimbursed for that? This is my first scaled load

I also got lost when going to pick up my load, GPS told me to turn on a small side street and I thought it didnt look right and missed the turn, I ended up going down some tight streets to get back, luckily I was bobtailed so I was able to make it, if I had a trailer I would of been totally screwed this past evening getting stuck. I didnt take the time out to pre plan where I was going since I was getting low on time and just needed to get there, taught me a lesson since I would of saved 10minutes using 5 minutes to pre plan.

 

Just need to scan the ticket with trip number and drv codeyou'all be reimbursed

 

I would make a clear copy of that scale ticket and scan the copy, not the original. For some reasons the scanners I have used don't get along with the cat scale tickets.
