Where is everyone #5

Loaded used rail in Chicago Hights and taking it to Oregon OH. Sittin at the TA on the toll road just south for a 7 am delivery.

 

Lodi Ohio. Put fuel in the truck. When I opened the door coming back out I heard my ol CAT over the rest. Guess these new hearing aids do work. Gotta chop steak and Apple pie with ice cream a coming. Hoping to make on down to London or New Paris before I quit

 

Come on wore, you know you wanna play


This is why them fenders don’t last out here.

 

Even working girls need a wash job occasionally. Not perfect but cleaner than it was...

 

That impressive. Especially considering how loud and high pitched some of these regen systems are. Then you’ve got the freightliners governors popping off every five seconds, plastic rattling from Volvo’s. That must be one bad B model to hear it over all that.

 

Looks slicker than owl ####. Hey, at least now you got a good sounding radio when you are calling the front end loader for help. Can shoot some skip while you wait

 

Insert deep voice Cowboy song here. Very cool pic!

 

Only 9 ton actually. It's a sample load for the customer in Canada, if they like it, we'll be loading everything else out of Texarkana.

Went fairly quick all things considered. They were in a big hurry to get me out of there and were surprised by my patience. Guess they aren't used to dealing with patient truckers.

 

In Alma, TX at the Loves for the night. Needed a shower desperately (I'm not made for this heat, yikes) and a Pilot/J was not in a convenient location to stop for the night.

Company says I can put in 50 gallons if I need a shower so it's all good. Just wish would fuel here regularly, most Loves I've been to are way nicer than any Pilot or J.



Edit: Totally forgot to mention, load got switched out to Edmonton rather than Calgary which while more miles, it's back the way I came rather than through the mountains.

But anyone in the KS area tomorrow, I'm likely going to be somewhere on the US81 tomorrow night T-storms/tornadoes notwithstanding.

 

And I’m sure “she” appreciates it!

Looks good!
