    Well I'm relaying a load back up to Washington. Waiting at my grandparents for the driver who is meeting me in Farmington, NM this afternoon.

    HI everybody. Was home for a couple days to renew CDL and hazmat reendorsement. Then went down to the old Navy base to get Hazprints done, the guy took my money for TWIC as well right on the spot. Funny they STILL have to do 2 different background checks on me for each document even though I paid for them at the same place lol.

    Anyway, coming out of northern California running southern route to Miami to stay out of the snow yay.

    Once again at the TA in Breezewood. I may have my own parking spot here soon. Delivered in Shippensburg PA and routing said it was shorter to hit the 522 off the turnpike in PA to the 30 and take it into Chambersberg. Not a good idea with 44K in the box. First time taking that 3 mile 9% grade which I mistakenly thought was what you loop around where that sign at Breezewood tells you not to take 30 into McConnalsville. Nope. Sure glad it was a clear dry day. Wasn't a big deal just don't want to do it again heavy or in bad weather. Next time I will just exit Breezewood and take the few extra miles to Hagerstown to pick up 81.

    Anyway have a 2200 in Bluffton In. Will leave early and get to the bullpen there by 1400 and listen to my Eagles get smacked around by the Packers. My bills say the place is called Peyton's but according to Google Maps that's a Kroger in disguise.

    Stopped at the Pilot in Barstow, CA to fuel and take my 30 minute break then 109 miles to our destination in La Mirada, Ca.

    Sent the head lady there a carrot cake earlier in the week so she would tell the guard it's okay to let us deliver at night. Currently they make us wait till the dock employees show up in the morning. Our load back to Louisville is ready in Industry, CA every Friday. If this lady gives the okay then the earlier we can be home every week. Fingers crossed.
