Parked Here for the Night

Tastykakes? Are you cheating on the diet?

 

No but that doesn't mean I can't live vicariously through others!

 

Just wandering in to see where your parked! Make it to Colorado Springs, shoot me a PM.. Lunch sounds great!

 

Wow when did they enlarge the Loves in Richmond, IN. Guess I haven't been here in awhile. This use to be a regular rest stop for me. Was going to try to get 2nd stop off today, but I don't know if its the slick roads or the wind, but It's to much of a work out trying to stay in my lane. Only have 1 pallet and load is not due till tomorrow at 7am. But I was going to try to beat our payroll cut off and have a nice 3,000 mile week, but doesn't look like that's going to happen. Not even sure what time they stop receiving. Probably already stopped, and if I were to keep on playing wind sock with my trailer while my posterior eats up more of the seat. I wouldn't be too happy. Guess I'll go ahead and transflo New York load. Time to hit the trans flo and check the weather. Still might give the weather a chance to clear up instead of taking a full break here. We shall see.

 

Parked at the Pilot in Franklin, OH. Will probably be dead headed to Indianapolis to pick up at ProTrans International. That means a ticket home.

Roads were 95% clear but under passes were extra icy and I watched a pickup lose control on one. Luckily he stayed right side up and was able to drive back to the road.

Crusty driver recommend we let off the throttle as we hit those patches as many of us felt our trucks lose traction and let the truck just coast through.

 

Parked in the driveway at home to lazy to move the 8 inches of snow so I guess it will be next week before I try it again .

I am thinking real hard about going to a 2 for 1 work schedule .
You know the old 2 days off for every one I work .

Right now I am on a 1 for 1 schedule and it is a real killer .

 

I'm at the Love's in St. Paul, IN. My dispatcher said move towards Indy. If they can't find me a load to El Paso tomorrow, they'll put me on the next one out of ProTrans International headed home that leaves Friday.
