    The bad part is that I was empty. :biggrin_2559:

    Had I been loaded , I would have pulled some #### about needing to get the animals there before I ran out of time .

    If that didnt work , I would have called PETA. :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25525:

    Parked at the Love's in Waddy, KY. The J had no vacancies but found me a primo spot in this bigger lot here. Short jump from here in the morning to London to drop this load of water at Wal-Mart then up to Hebron to pick up auto parts to take to Houston and a weekend with my girls.

    Sunday afternoon we took off in a small airplane from Manassas and flew to KY, just S of Cincy. Crossed I 81 at about 12 PM around the 260 mm. S bnd traffic was backed up and stopped as far as you could see from 7000 feet. We crossed at a bridge and you could see 2 trucks sitting there and they didn't move. Flew 644 miles in 8 hrs total time including driving to N KY University and fueling.I am so glad i wasn't on 81. A lady friend said she took longer from Harrisburg to Martinsburg that from Rochester to Harrisburg Sunday too.

    After loaded this morning, headed to my co. warehouse in IN where I am now... Nobody here... Will have to wait till they arrive in the morning to drop and hook... if they have one available trailer... and rush to next shipper in IL... and then head to VA... want to get away from the cold and snow... but don't know how the weather will be... There was some rain today... but temps were just a little bit about freezing... I gotta buy those winter windshield wipers... the Freightliner windshield totally sucks in the winter... ice builds up tooooooo quickly... :biggrin_25510: Gotta go to bed now...
