    I'm sure she is going to love it, jaso. It is a good man that spends so much time and effort in getting a home in shape.:biggrin_25514:

    You should make a recording of the reefer running so you can play it at night...... that's what you are used to hearing!:biggrin_2559:

    So I went to Massachusetts this weekend to visit some family and lost count how many TrasAm trucks I saw way. So my question is how often do you guys run on i90 from New York to Mass?

    I got away from the snow! At least for a day! I am so freaking stoked! I set my cruise at 55 mph today and went from Ottawa, IL to Caryville, TN where it was a glorious 65 degrees. I opened up the cab and the sleeper windows to enjoy it. Tomorrow I will deliver in Fort Mill, SC.

    I can't answer the question about NY/Mass because I avoided that area like the plague!

    Didn't get too much done as I was sleeping. I guess wrestling with fridges, washer and dryers by myself tired me out more than I thought they would. Got our bedroom painted. and cleaned kitchen. Next time home clean and hang blinds. I really like that store Menards(might have to be my getaway from wife).

    I didn't run 90 too much when I ran up Northeast for Trans Am.

    Back out tomorrow for Cali.

    we have deliveries to food warehouses along 90 in NY
    but if we were heading straight to mass we would go 80 to 84
    NY Thruway is expensive

    In balmy (81 degree) LA dropping my final. Wish these guys would unload me. Been busy running from Olathe to LA trying to make my appointments on time. Made them both an hour early. Have a preplan from Kwikset Locks in Mira Loma to Lowes in Cheyenne WY. Hope I get it. Driving in the big cities is a little nerve wracking. Not so much the traffic jams. I can deal with that. Just delivering to receivers in residential neighborhoods. At least the backs weren't too difficult. Enough of that the last few weeks between Jersey and LA. Traffic in Atlanta is worse than in LA in my opinion. After two weeks of 1500 miles, this week is looking better so far. Hope these guys get started soon. Morning rush is enough for me, don't want afternoon rush too. Deuces gang.

    Currently broke down in IA, and waiting on a road mechanic. In the westbound rest area, I80 mm 180. Am confused as heck at the moment. If I have a RH brake chamber p ancaked, why are the brakes on the LH side, applied enough to be smoking?

    Pete, as well as my first stop went, my second stop went to poop. After they unloaded me and I had just left, the receiver blew up my phone, finally answered it (mistake) and said I needed to come back and they were going to reload me with "the third stop" that should have gone to a nearby cold storage place. My take: customer service botched the order and did not include the third stop and the cold storage place was closed and full. So I lose the load to Cheyenne and stuck with this partial load tonight. Wonder what happens if they can't take it tomorrow either? On top of that, I am thrown back into pm rush and violate my 14 because I was stuck in this awful traffic and no truck stop within 50-55 miles of downtown LA. 3 hours drive. This place isn't very trucker friendly. No rest areas in these parts either. Got to pay to park tonite. Stinks. At the TA in Ontario CA.
