Where Are You....continues........

Well its up to a balmy 24 here in Barry Il--really wasn't totally ready to call it quits--but there jus ain't Lotta choices cross here--figured it was here or push on to probably Danville or more likely into the Hoosier---& I just didn't feel like it---lol

 

Shut down and buttoned up tight against the apocalypse near Afton, OK. These bunk heaters sure can keep a cab toasty. Must be 70 in here right now.

I had a Four day but I'm not TOO disappointed....
First was a 25# Haz to Cargolux. Only took an hour to get rid of it.
Then go for the 400# pallet at the address given. Whoops says dispatch "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong address". Go over off 290 about 3 miles outside the beltway. Get it to the place I go a lot near Little York and Antoine.
Then go to Tomball for a 5XX# pallet going right next door to our office.
While that close I turned in my tickets up to yesterdays end.
Then I went to La Porte for a 1575# Hazmat going to SDV. Spent a little over an hour and got to SDV with 8 minutes before Yvette leaves.

At 3: something he sends "pick up SDV for Cargolux cutoff 6pm" I told him I was still at Baker with no idea when I might leave. He says he'll give it to Eddie. While I was at SDV Chavo said there were three crates.
I waited until Eddie showed up. Asked him where he came from (Far West Houston) and he said he was called at 4:30. Anyhow he took those crates and I headed for the home 20.
Stopped at Wallyworld for a Wiper blade, some Power Steering fluid and a two pack of Kershaw knives that I needed like another hole in my head. These things came out of the package SHARP!!!!

 

I remember my grandma had a house in Decatur area and we used to go to Hannibal, ms in the summers...I loved that as a kid I was really into huckelberry Finn, and oddly enough I was a history buff so we used to swing by Lincolns grave as well.

I'll be in Dayton tomorrow ol'hand, I'm lounging around on i75 right now.

Hey Dave, look into SOG knives, they are quality and super sharp.

 

Minus 33 here today without the wind! With the wind.....well trust me you don't want to know ....brrrrrrr!!!
I got 8 loads again today. I now have 3 days off! Got a hotel room booked in Lloydminster Alberta for Friday and Saturday night. Going to the company Xmas party on Friday night then going to relax in my hotel room for Saturday. I was scheduled to have 4 days off but am only taking 3, gotta make hay while the sun shines!

 

Can you buy snow chains at truck stops in the states that require them. They're about to load me heading to Wyoming and I don't have any (never go that far west). Just trying to figure out where I can get some enroute.

 

Until everyone needs them! But they won't "carry" them at all... especially to your truck! Lazy 'tards! Don't forget to get some bungies to tighten 'em up!!

 

Yes--but where r u now and where ya headed?

 

HALLLLOOOO!

(hears echos rattlin' around in 'olhand's head this morning...)
