Millis OTR journal

I pulled a 34 between Neenah and Oskosh (I think that's right). I stopped in Richfield this morning for shower and fuel. LOL

 

Stuck in Plano Il errrr Yorkville at the Circle K out of hours tonight. It's been fun watching the "almost accidents" at the 47 intersection. Lol,,,,, fml.
Oh yeah, I will have to say, this is a nice little fuel stop. A few places to park if you get here early enough. Good c-store and clean restrooms.

 

Left the TA on Russel Rd on Wisc/IL border at 11 30pm Monday night, delivered in Trenton at 6am, and made it to Rochester NY by 2 45 central time.. .nice 850mile day so much for easing my new student in lol Left Rochester at 4am headed for Anderson SC for delivery in morning. Plan on making it to the Loves in Blacksburg SC. Student gets his 1st taste of I79 and I77 thru WV and Virginia. Fancy Gap the 1st time is always good entertainment...i mean teaching lol

 

Glad you're going S on 77 VA line. I got caught up in that mess going N a couple weeks ago. 2 hour delay.

 

Ya heard goin north was a nightmare but they were hoping to be done for the 4th but idk if they are or not yet. Be going thru there shortly

 

Fancy Gap conquered and we are still upright and not in an escape ramp....I consider that a successful 1st trip haha

 

My first time was 2nd day on truck. Drizzle and pea soup fog. I thought that #### hill was never going to end.

 

Haha my 2nd students 1st time we had 12,000lbs in box and a high wind warning in effect on the Gap....he was gripping the wheel so hard I was waiting for him to rip it off lmao.

 

First time I came down was grossing >90k dragging a grain wagon with a coe ‘79 Freightliner 400 Cummins, 15 spd and no Jake brake. Mind you I was 19 years old, young, dumb and full of cu%, I pissed my pants. True story.
It’s absolutely amazing at how far trucks have come these days. Perhaps a bit too far.
