Good Night From II

slc ut at the flying j. ups took about 1.5 hrs to unload their portion of the load. ran over to cabelas in lehi and asked if they go by appt or would they take me early. he said they'd take me now. had to pull mt trailer out of the door and put the full one in its place. also..this store has truck parking. no preplan yet.

 

Walmart in Lake Havasu City, picking up at Sterilite in the morning for a run to Sealy, TX. So close to home is bad since I have a doctor visit in Houston on the 8th.

 

Lathrop finally, originally should of been here well before midnight but just parked at 2am with 11min left. Had to go to Woodland Hills and do their fun offsite sweep where multiple stores send their stuff to be combined in Chatsworth and dang that was one tight arse dock, I had to have them move vehicles out of the way just to be able to setup the best I could and move it around back and forth until I was finally lined to get into the dock. Took them 2 hours to load me after saying it would only take 30min....

 

Picked up a load in santa fe springs, ca that delivers in dublin, tx on monday morning. I forgot to scale it so I ended up staying at the phoenix terminal.

 

Woke up to put my truck into shop for the bit and the guy told me if they find anything wrong im stuck until Monday and would be a few hours so went back to the truck to sleep, just doze off and a mechanic was climbing in apologizing that he didnt know someone was in it. I might just catch a little sleep after they are done before I head back since I volunteered to be on standby since Saturday is so slow.

 

already parked at the Petro in West Memphis. Was thinking about Little Rock tonight, but after all of the delays on I-40 just in TN today, did not want to attempt that one in I-40 in AR this afternoon. Left out early, about 0630 this morning to try and beat traffic and that did not work. Coming down the hill into Nashville, 3 mile backup, and this was a 0700. Thought about stopping at Earle, but then remembered that a decent buffet tonight here.

Forgot to mention, my load is 10 totes and 16 55gal drums of liquid. Almost like pulling a tanker, and with all of the times that I have been cutoff today. Well lets just say that it is a joy, especially when cut off starting up a incline, and all of that liquid sloshing around

 

I take the 155 loop around Nashville ... A little longer but usually quicker.

Home for 2 weeks ...

 

Same here, but this back up was aways before that loop. Around MM98 was where the construction started. The backup started around the 101

 

st gorgetaking 30 min break. the cabelas was half way in between the 2 truckstop. decided to go to the north one in slc since i figured i get my load there. NOT!! lol. load p/u i cedar city ut at 1230. got there with 15 minutes to sparre. eading to fontana ca for a 2000 dwel on the 30. see if i can tcall it tomorrow. put in the 7/2 for hometime. have to get a 40000 mile bit oilchange. hopefully tomorrow

 

I ran from Greenville, TN to Earle, AR today. I concur with your decision, especially if you can get an "O-dark-thirty" start. The construction zones in TN were a challenge to say the least, but the construction after the bridge crossing into AR is a special kind of joy in traffic. Hopefully my 4:30 start tomorrow should see me through Little Rock before the Sunday morning crowd starts out.
