    Dropped Alabama to Virginia load at the Wytheville yard then took 10 hour break then over to our favorite spot going to mountain top pa. Del. That 2 hours ago now sitting at hess on I81 exit 77. Headi g to Richmond to get truck In shop yet again. But hey its been 3 weeks since the last time ut was in the shop. The problem I'm having now us as soon as I turn my truck off about 15 minutes later all my outlets cutoff. Obly thing plug up is my phone I rarely use the inverter. I look at voltage on battery says 11.5 and lower. But when truck runs it shows 13.8 plus. Im sure its batteries. Well nite all.

    My favorite bottle to use as I roll is ocean spray cran berry juice. I like this bottle for 2 reasons on has a handle on it and most importantly it has a big opening. That's my tip. Rebel Chick sorry I have no ideas for the female drivers..

    Shop took my truck a little over an hour gave it back with 4 new batteries. 2 of the previous 4 were completely shot but now my wife get upset when my phone dies in the middle of the night. My next load takes me to lockborne, oh with a refer load. I don't have many hours so took what I could to keep the wheels turning.

    Back on the yard after a round trip to Wytheville. Took pallets there and brought a reefer from the Wytheville yard. Finally a good run after two two hundred mile days. That doesn't feed the bulldog. No more spaces on the yard so I am in front of the tanks in the middle of the yard. Oh well. Last one in. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Awful lot of noise outside my truck. Glorious day today. Everything was peachy.

    Go find an empty space across from the washbay or back further. If you park there overnite someone will always be trying to park there. Trust me.
