Good Night From II

When you get the last available parking spot at the Loves ...

 

...it shows you have impeccable timing.
Plus a bit of luck.

 

Roseburg, OR at the Love's.

After being stuck in Niles, OR for 5 days because of the weather and bad roads I finally delivered my Costco load this afternoon. It should have been last Tuesday at 0630.
And that took over 4 hours, which I have never experienced at a Costco before.
I was the only truck there, but they had their own issues today because of inventory being done last night.

Still no pplan or mac 30 offers.

 

jurupa valley terminal.
Left beaver at 0330 so I can get here to watch the 49er football game.
was able to watch both.
trailer I picked up had one of the id lights broken, so came to shop to get it fixed.
whole they were doing that walk to prequal lane and said I needed a bit service. said it be tomorrow since the close at 1430 and still had a couple of trucks b4 me
so now I am spending the nite in the prequall lane. they open at 6am.
yesterday I stopped at the pilot on st George ut for a shower and 30 min break.
forgot how old that place is. so no more showers there lol.

 

went to get ca bit service done.
a and b service due in 1900 something miles more.
shop said they gonna due all 3 now. maybe done tomorrow or weds.
thought they do t do b service till you are within 500 miles.
gonna have to get a loaner truck and spend today taking my crap out of this truck.
not gonna leave it here unattended
heard too many storms guys domi g back to their truck and finding stiff gone.
shops a d ma aters red to get on same page. I could have made an appt last week for today
my dentist is sick so they cancelled my appt for today.
also walking thru the terminal I tripped over a curb and did a nice comical fall lol. a bit sore today

 

Laredo. Terminal.

Leave at 1am. Deliver in Abilene at 8am. Then Amarillo soon as we can. Then to Grand Junction. Over to Montrose CO, then to Yuma AZ.

Promasters now. Lumber in Montrose.

Student doing well if a bit overly cautious. Which really as a problem i don't mind. Backing improving dramatically. Good endurance

 

Sumner terminal.

60 miles to get here from my delivery, but there was nothing much closer.
Only took ~3 hours through Seattle traffic. Got here at about 1745 and I think I snagged the last space.

I had a pplan earlier for a Costco load that delivers tomorrow morning at 0700, 160 miles away.
Just as I was going to counter it with more realistic times it was removed.

 

Yreka, CA at the Walmart.
I'm headed to the Target DC in Woodland, and I'm sure glad there is no bad weather to contend with.

My DM called today. I mentioned I would sure like a load headed east to get me out of the west.
Her response was, 'We could set a home time request for Monday. That should get you out of there.'
Cool. I hate getting stuck in the 3 western states going up and down and up and down...

 

South of Amarillo a bit.

student ran down to 20 minutes, and i took over supersolo to get us to a better parking spot. Took a little over an hour to wait for a rollback. So i didnt have enough time in reserve. Would have ran out at customer. And being a street delivery i aint about to pull a PC out for that.

Deliver in 8 at Amarillo, head to Grand junction quick as we can. With 1 promaster we will handle the mountains well. But on the otherhand if the passes are still slick, thatll shut us down fast. Strong possibility ill have to take over in CO at some point.

 

Beaver ut at the flying j
my relay partner truck broke down in grand junction co. seems to be fed related
kenworth won't get to his truck till tomorrow morning.
So came here to go to dennys for dinner.
hopefully he can get here tomorrow.
