    Well thanks to my trailer breaking 2 days after my reset i got to the job site here with 6 hours on my 70 and no hours to gain in 2 days from sitting. On the bright side the construction guys were awesome helping me fold my tarps in the 50 mph gusts. But i did loose one on Highway when wind grabbed it from trailer and now flying over the rockies somewhere, yes it was secured properly and was. High load so it got under it and bungee couldn't hold it.

    Oh and there's nothing here. Small town, but has great view and Walmart let me stay so food easily accessible.

    So what are you going to do? Who are you with? Are you going to get a load out of there?

    Getting my reset in and I don't know yet took me off board until 0500 Wednesday morning. Probably have to hit a terminal to get another tarp.

    Hmm might have to bobtail over there with off duty drive and check it out. Saw it finding parking. Remember how much have bad signal and this site and Google main page only that work.

    It's a mile loop thru town and Walmart sits on edge of town. Trust me Walmart is most the town.

    Where I come from, Wal Mart hit the small towns first.

    To the OP... good luck finding a load out of there. There's a pipe place in a town in the southern part of the state... for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the company or the town... but they often specify that they specifically want stepdeck trailers. I know the last time I delivered in Cody, it was a load of PJ trailers from Honey Grove, Texas, then I had to deadhead to a farm just west of Wall, South Dakota, pick up a load of hay to Yankton, South Dakota, then I deadheaded from there to Sioux Falls (where I was running out of) and either picked up a load of plastic lining from there or maybe it was electronic boards from Daktronics... PM me if you're headed that way and I'll give you a number to call if you're trying to get in on any of those loads.. both paid pretty well, but I can't post phone numbers on here.
