Good Night From II

It was a great race! Watched all of it from the homeplace! I can't wait to see how the new qualifying runs work out.

 

I have taken that route to bypass the 210 and 5 the day before thanksgiving since it was hectic

3 hours later I was rolling, one of the rollers on the door broke and was lodged, he used a long pry bar to break the door open then had to realign and bolt it back on, I wanted to hit the J for a shower tonight but by the time I dropped the load at the dc I had 9min left on my 14

planner called me asking if I could do one of the hardest stores in Van Nuys, then come back do the other Van Nuys then make it to Purina in Maricopa by 10, I laughed and said I dont think so, I cant even start until 1300 so he dropped one of the stores "just trying to give you more miles" if you want to give more miles then send me north....

 

wish i couldve watched the race. decided to stay here in porterville and get a room here at best western. will drive to loves in tulare to scan paperwork today. that way still get a 34 reset for a thursday start

 

T-called my load in Phoenix this morning then put the truck in the shop (AGAIN) in hopes of getting my QualCom issues resolved. Then I walked next door to the tire shop and with the help of a very cool tire shop guy (foreman?) found 4 used Michelins to replace the 4 that will not pass the 90 day DOT I need in the next 6 days.

 

Rolling all night through MO and KS on our way to Denver, CO

 

Right outside St. Louis on my way to Fort Worth. Sitting here watching the ice water fall.

 

At the Denver terminal, in the shop to get a couple small things fixed.

Lady K, if you get here tomorrow I'd love to meet you.

 

sitting at home, today was the first time I ever went to the purina in Maricopa, that road sure is fun, just glad traffic was light going up that road.

Tomorrow my wife is taking a friend out of town to go shopping so im going to head to Bakersfield and get my dmv stuff done, hit costco and walmart to do some shopping myself and get an oil change I need on my car, my wife went and got her cars oil change today and I find out the oil level was so low it wouldnt even register on the stick

 

We will be in Denver, but I hope not to the terminal (nothing against you, would love to meet you too... just dislike terminals!)... We drop and hook at UNFI in Aurora. If we do go into the terminal though (never know what our new trailer will be like) I will look you up... It would be closer to early afternoon time frame... Just went through Kansas City and swapping drivers

 

Well spending the night at the big Joplin Petro. Man I love that W9 in there. Should be in Fort Worth tomorrow afternoon.
