    Passed through the scales in Blythe, Banning and Yorba Linda. Who gives me the bypass? Banning, lol! Barely missed being pulled in for an inspection at Yorba Linda. They were busy. The unoccupied inspector grabbed the truck in front of me.

    Nothing to hide mind you, but the delay getting rolling yesterday ate up all my extra time to make this run. I got to the receiver 5 min late.

    I needed more karma just now. My pickup is in Cerritos, CA just down the road but the truck route was blocked due to construction at the 5 junction with Alondra Blvd and the detour took me down roads marked as restricted to 3 tons. Nice fellas....last time I took a detour for construction on a marked truck route I hit a low bridge....

    I made it ok. Even passed a cop or two.

    Got load off a day early. Pick up some Bananas in the morning and take them to Utah. Have I told anybody how I hate running on recap. Well now you know. 11:45 left on the 70 but losing decent hours the next few days so should be able to make it by Sunday. I just find it weird because I haven't had a day off and I still have hours left. But guess this E log know's what its doing. By the way if you are ever in La Porte. Stop off at the Lion King truck stop. The taqueria is the bomb and they load up those little taco's with plenty fixins. Speaking of taco's I think its time for seconds :)

    Dinomite, if you are headed to Aggravating Food Stores in Farr West, you TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY BANANAS! Ya Hear Me?:biggrin_2559:

    By the time they get to AF warehouse, then are shipped down here to Dixie they are usually in trouble. Yeah, they "put 'em to sleep," but they keep them too darn cold, and they are black on the ends. . .:biggrin_25510:
     
    Dinomite Thanks this.

    Yes Sir that's where I'm going AF. Well they will be at a nice and toasty 60 degree's the whole trip. Unless I forget to turn the reefer back on after a truck wash. Not like that has ever happen before. But yeah what they do with them in the AF trucks that's on them. Keep buying em, so you can keep Kid Dinomite rolling. I normally bring them from San Diego, but this time from Freeport, TX.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

Then leave Friday to be in La Mirada Ca Monday and West Sacramento Tuesday. Kind of like Dinomite , haven't had a day off but the hours keep coming. Another good week ahead. Y'all keep the shiny side up.
