    I'm chilling in California Gilroy. You know today ways a perfect day. Up at 0400 run first drop in by 0900. The 125 miles up to second drop.... Been there 20 times 3 hours ahead of apt and right to dock. Now this place is an easy 3 hours unload. They count every steak. I just laid down for my nap. Sir Captain Dave... What did I put in wrong dock? Did I not chock the wheels ...panic. ...she says we're all good ...really ? Yep see you soon. Wow wow I say to myself . The roach coach at the entrance looked good. Had a delicious grilled cheese aka made with love.

    Be Safe Out There

    Made it home last night. Yesterday was actually a really nice day. Also the longest driving day I've had so far. Pulled about 450 miles had three stops and got it all done and about 12 hours.

    If I could do a run like that every day I would be a very happy man. Only part that was a little rough was 5 miles of uphill on 79 in West Virginia. Temperatures were starting to get a little high but I wasn't redlining yet so I said screw it and kept going.

    Pilot exit 126 off 70 in Ohio. Dang shipper couldn't decide where they had put my trailer so I wound up burning the time I needed to get back to the DC hunting for it.

    I59 parking MS.

    This load was ready early so grabbed it and ran to save time tomorrow.

    Got vacation time of two weeks, dbl saying you can take 5 days or 10 days. Seems you can't take 6 or 7 in a row. Doesn't seem right.
     
    SingingWolf Thanks this.

    I've only worked 2 companies that let you do odd vacation days like that, so it isn't very common.

    Home tonight. Actually spent the night in the truck yesterday for the first time in months. I do miss how comfy my sleeper bed is sometimes.

    Hannibal Mo. or somewhere around here. Not sure yet. Need to go east on 72 and Verizon ####s the bed pretty hard for a while there so I'm pretty sure I'll park here

    Also, why does schneider hire tweens to put in remarks for customers?
