    Yes, quite the climb to be sure. Winter must be a blast both up and down. :eek:

    Lots of twists and turns on an already narrow road as well. You know, just to keep it interesting. ;)

    So my Sabra drop and hook turns into a live load after calling twice and being told the trailer was loaded. Honestly, does ANYBODY give a crap about doing their jobs right anymore?

    At the dock and being shaken, not stirred. Lol

    Done for the night just outside Amarillo, TX. Did 693 miles today with 21 minutes left on the DOT clock. Didn't want to proceed anymore to risk not finding a place to park. But so wanted to break 700.

    Perhaps tomorrow.... Heading to Vegas.

    When you do break 700 you will wonder what all the fuss was about. There is no bonus "700 miles in a day" pay...well I certainly didnt get any. 8)

    They say don't use it so they don't have to explain it... and then the planners know you have either 11/14 to use or on 10... Keeps it Simple... many use it and it does come in handy... even if it does not do as expected at times... mostly due to incomplete knowledge as what I hit this morning.
     
    KD5AXG Thanks this.
