    Got a message saying my student isn't ready. So no student. Fine by me slept the best I have since I have been out this time. So maybe no more training. 4.5 hours to drive then nothing till the 26th. Out of hours anyway.

    No excuses here Cranky.

    Merry Christmas.

    I'm afraid Panhandle's misfortune with the truck stop was partially my fault. I checked it out also and it looked good online. They said nothing about closing for Christmas Eve and Christmas. It would have been nice if they had put that information online for the drivers :biggrin_2557:. That truck stop will be going on the Queen's naughty list!

    Time for bed around here .....Wouldn't want Santa to skip over my house because we were still awake! :biggrin_25524:

    I know about trip planning, also know what my company will put up with on OOR, without charging me. What WOULD'VE been nice is, if the trk stop had left a message on their machine about being closed when I called them.

    Going to sit Rockwall for the day. Out of hours a little over 3,600 on odometer for the week. Interested to see what paid miles are

    Ran from Wytheville to Jackson TN. Stopped at the Loves. Gonna try to deliver my load tomorrow instead of Saturday. Felt tired today. Carried a couple of hours over to tomorrow. Getting close on my 70. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Tomorrow is another day. Goodnight.

    some TransAm driver just tried to go thru the scale wrong way
    in Evanston Wy at exit 6 on 80 he hit the pole bending it
    backed out and took off
    one of our more experienced drivers witnessed it
    he had pulled over because 80 eastbound is closed at Rock springs
    and the driving was terrible
    Hope that driver stops before he hurts himself or someone else

    It's been a busy and good day around here. Santa didn't skip over our house and maybe managed to surprise the King. He knew that Number Two Daughter was getting a crossbow to hunt with ......what he didn't know is that he was getting one also! They spent the day messing with the scopes and all of that stuff.....and have already lost some of their arrows.:biggrin_2559:

    I know it can seem especially lonely to be out working on Christmas.....Know that there are people that care about you and that you have been in everyone's thoughts and prayers this day... and everyday.

    :biggrin_25513:.......no words for that.

    I was just getting ready to check and see if you had been online, Pete. I didn't know how the weather and roads were for you today.
