    Thank you very much Sir... :biggrin_25519:

    I will start enjoying the highway tonight... Planning on leaving co. terminal yard here right after I regain my 70... :yes2557: Peoplenet updated the system and fixed the HOS... weather and temp seems to be good the direction I will be heading...

    Glass repair man got here at 8 am today and fixed chip on windshield... :yes2557:
    Then, I went to Pilot nearby, took a shower and washed a few clothes in the sink... Then, met another "old geezer..." I mean, another driver of my co. and had a nice chat.... He said has been trucking since 1968.... Well.... like 70% of drivers in this co....
    Then, I stopped at WM for some last min shopping and now back at the co. terminal... Just had my lunch in the truck and will take a nap after leaving at 20:00... :biggrin_25519: You all be nice and stay safe...

    Went and made my pickup with the girls, nice heavy load, weight 34100 on the drives with the wheels slid forward. I could always slide the 5th wheel, but that would mean turning in my supertrucker card in. I'm such an outlaw...:biggrin_25522:

    I always thought rocks was a dude because she keeps them wheels rolling. Plus the name doesn't seem to be much help. Still it doesn't matter male or female, straight or side walk (not about to catch me slipping) uh alternative lifestyle. She/he is still part of the family. Unless she catches Ebola.

    Every card carrying super trucker knows 100 lbs over won't get a second look at the scale house. Even though we never turn our head and let them see the out law in our eyes. We also never carry extra baggage like rug rats, wives, buddy's,concubine's, coolers,cats or dogs. We do bend the rules for monkeys and Orangutan's under a certain weight. Everything else is charged by the mile. You may want to stop getting those counterfeit super trucker cards from the Cracker Jack boxes. That's 2 demerits if you get caught with bad plastic.
