    Stopped at the westbound service plaza on the Ohio Turnpike at the 100mm. I remember my trainer at Stevens and another Stevens truck running with us getting stopped at the same time by an OHP trooper here on the eastbound side. He was parked on the left shoulder. Got out and directed both trucks to stop. This was back in the 55 mph truck limit days. Got busted for doing 65.

    JPenn, did you go back to reefers? I was following the thread you had about the 48's.
    Y'all keep the shiny side up!

    Yes I did. Yanking a leased trailer now but am already lining up what I want for after my truck note is paid off. Sitting in a C&S right now waiting for them to quit tap dancing with the pallets and get them offloaded so I can go pick another load, preferably someplace non-snowy

    I hear that. Did 3 picks up by Fresno yesterday, then 2 in Yuma last night. 1 more to go, then pedaling hard for Ga. I don't know why, but I sleep better with that blasted TK running.

    I agree with the Lady K plan. At home re-humanizing a bit before emptying out the trailer at Publix tonight. Then a rare full weekend off the truck before doing another Texas adventure starting Monday. Waco to visit with my favorite consignee, then a quadruple Houstoncide, then SA.
     
    Lady K Thanks this.

    Cashs casino truck plaza La-1 with a view of the I-10 bridge for the night.

    Got loaded in Plaquemine La this afternoon. Only have 2 hours left and the I-10 bridge is jammed with a wreck in the middle lane eastbound at 4:45.

    Going to head out in the AM rather than spend my last 2 hours at 10 mph. It's 800 miles to the yard so I wasn't getting home before Sunday anyway
