Indian River

I plan on staying out a month each time out, but I’ve been bad this year, waiting till the last minute to due taxes. So I’m going on a few days early. Plus a band I see every year at the fall bike rally in Panama City Beach is playing close to home for the first time, so I need to check them out. I’ll stay out till the end of May next run.

 

I believe I’m starting to have another truck issue. The engine feels like it’s “surging”. RPM’s slightly go up and down when I’m loaded. Kills me on a hill and when I top it, it has a miss in it.

 

Hopefully so. I loaded yesterday morning in Delano and made it to Williams, AZ. Felt like I drove in CA all day. Lol. Don’t have to be in Joplin till Friday morning. I hope to be in Amarillo today as long as my truck holds up.

 

I got a message from dispatch this morning wondering if I would be interested in another California load after a reset. I hated to say no, but I have to be home next weekend. The tax man needs to see me. Lol. I deliver in the am. Not sure the plan, but I’m on recap hrs and after tonight, I only gain 11 hrs over the next two days.

 

Finishing up my 34 here in Joplin. Heading down to Memphis to pick up a yeast loaf and head to Houston. Has anyone been to HEB in Houston? It says on the directions that it is a driver unload facility. They don’t assist.

 

I thought IRT didn’t allow drivers to unload?

 

That’s why I’m asking. A first I’ve heard of something like this. Could be a mistake too.
