Millis OTR journal

Hopefully that got caught on camera. That trailer had to have been hit by another trailer, and I guarantee whoever did it KNEW they did it. Blatant cowardice for not reporting it. Just shameful.

 

Sup y'all. Greetings from White House TN. Much better day today as far as run time goes. I got in 10 hours and 15 minutes of drive time today. Much better than yesterday I have a weird situation going on now. Opie sent me a couple preplans that will get me to Saturday. I'm reloading in Memphis and going back to Rochester. Then I'm reloading in Rochester and dropping in Trenton. I'm very grateful for the runs but my next couple days will be a little strange. If I had known this was coming I would have driven further last night and reserved a parking spot so that I could have reached tomorrow's final tonight. I'm 4 hours away now. Tomorrow I'll have to drive there and do a 10 as soon as I get parked. When my 10 is over I'll have 7 more hours that I can run for the day, and that's it. So I'll probably wait til midnight when the next day rolls over and run my butt off for as close to 11 hours as I can before parking. Then get up and head for Rochester and do the same thing. Take my 10 as soon as I get there, wait till midnight, and roll for Trenton. Depending on how much time I have left for the day after I take my 10, I may start heading that way before then. It'll be a real exercise in time management. This is a very odd set of circumstances, and it took a second for me to figure it out. But, the loads will be on time. Just weird hours for me. These are the things you won't get taught in school. You'll get the basics, and figure out the rest as you go. Being good with problem solving comes with time and experience. And, some things come easier to some folks than they do for others. One of my friends once commented that it must be nice to have a job where all you have to do is just drive down the road and not think all day. Yeah, cuz that's exactly what we do out here. Crimany. What people don't know about truckers could fill a book. I hope all of you are doing well out there. Be safe, guys. Keep the rubber side down and check your pins. Catch y'all tomorrow. Peace.

 

Good lord. I believe that you deserve a beer, sir. I hope your day gets better

 

Yup, that's my favorite part of going to New York. Leaving

 

Early morning travel is the only way to fly, as far as I'm concerned. I was rolling at 2:30 this morning. Life is so hassle free like that.

 

Wow, it's a Millis party here apparently. 6 trucks here including mine. Is this a terminal and I didn't get the message?
