    Hmm, I read on the JJ Keller website earlier that you need 72 hours consecutive off to change cycles.

    Going to have to look at it more, since having the 120 would really help avoid a road reset. But if I have to take 24 hours off anyways before 75th, might just stay in Whitehorse for the day when I get there and run back and grab recaps on day 8 (Monday).

    3600 km up the BC37 to Whitehorse is going to likely be four full days as it is, so if I'm delivering on Friday, start back Saturday after 24 hours off, stop in Watson Lake, hopefully have 10+ hours left to make Dawson Creek on Sunday, if not, find a pull out that I can make. Then start Monday morning with probably a good 13 hours to make Edmonton and hopefully get a reload right away.

    Hmmmmmmm, going to be a lot to think about.

    JD that thing is beautiful!!! Especially the no sleeper part.

    Made it to the east side of Des Moines. At a rest area but had a couple meals in the truck I could warm up in the microwave so no sweat.

    Had 3 min left on my clock today and ran over yesterday.

    Finally got my TV stand up last weekend. I was just setting up with bungee since February. Worked out pretty slick. D10F68EC-6A5D-43D3-B561-D708BB8C6B74.jpeg 965196E7-29E4-4B8C-822D-8CECAE055E0B.jpeg D10F68EC-6A5D-43D3-B561-D708BB8C6B74.jpeg

    I'll take blue cheese, cottage cheese, and swiss cheese. Someone else can have 3 way cheese, processed cheese and foreskin cheese.

    Got pretty lucky today. My normal crap paying backhaul had left the building 2 days ago and there wasnt anything else on hand to run. Boss didnt answer so i checked DAT, found a perfect fit 44 miles away that payed double of the normal run, hell the backhaul payed better than the front haul and i booked it. They gave me a full trailer of brandy new coil racks and fresh dunnage to boot. I wore my double knee carharts, hi vis tee and actually tied my boots today so theyd think i was a trucker. It worked this time.

    That is one mean T8 you got yourself there @johndeere4020. Hope it was worth the wait, because I'd be chomping at the bit to get behind the wheel if it were mine.
