    I don't think this dude should even be allowed to operate an aisle cruiser in a Walmart store.

    Parked at the TA on I 24 south side of Nashville. 665.6 today. Had 128.2 Saturday delivering at Consignee and then picked up in Bradenton and took to Z-hills yard so I could just run today and tomorrow on a fresh 70. Enjoyed resetting at home.

    Parked at the old Bosselmans on the east side of Des Moines. About 10 minutes from Consignee. 664.8 today. Made 2 wrong turns today. Cost me just enough time off my 11 to prevent me from camping at the Consignee. It's 18 hrs til delivery appt so no biggie. No preplan yet. I'm pretty well settled into this new truck. Pretty easy when you move from 1 Cascadia to another. Got the DD13 engine and a 10 speed Eaton Fuller transmission. And Opti-idle.

    I show up at Consignee at 09:30 for my 11:00 appt. Guard asks drop and hook or live offload? I say my company says live offload. So he sends me to receiving office. I check in and they say any dock between 40-47 cause there's no one down there. Ok. So I walk back to the truck and find a message saying we have some MTs there so you can drop. I go back in receiving office and tell them and they insist on live offload since there workers need something to do. Any way it was a quick offload and I was apologized to by dispatch for not giving me advanced notice that I could drop.

    Hows the new truck running? Getting good mpgs? How you like the opti-idle?

    Truck is doing ok. Don't know on the mpg yet. I think so far I'm adjusting ok to the Opti-idle.
