    I got hours left for today,but I shutdown for the night. My first day off home times always a short day. Takes me a day to get back into the swing. Still put 400 behind me tho...

    There's a trucker museum also if you have time stop in.I found it fascinating.Inside the main store up the steps is a cafe court.Try not to buy any items they re very expensive.Wait till you get to a Wal-Mart.They also have a nice restraurant.

    That's why I am doing a 34... Ran 3900 in the last 8 days. 11 minutes left on my 70. Plenty of hours coming back to make NY by Monday, but this way, when I deliver I will have about 48-50 hrs to turn and burn.

    You should try and take a 34 there so you can really look around.I was there so many times that it became nothing spectacular but you that's never been there you'll like it.

    I was supposed to do a 34 in hickory but I wound up covering a Tyson load to cleavland. Then I trite to do a 34 at the Girard petro and they offered me a load home so I wound up taking two days hometime. Worked out for me becuase now I'm on this cali run
