Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

I only compare the GPS miles to the paid miles. I use Google Maps with the atlas to check the route there. Well to check any road that's off the interstate. I use Google Earth to see what the place looks like.

The GPS can route you weird ways. I get funny warnings from my GPS sometimes. Unpaved road ahead. I believe the interstate is completely paved. I have avoid uturns selected so it will tell me to take a left turn and then immediately take another left turn.

 

Dude... get some sleep!!!

I'm lucky, if tired enough, I can sleep day or night... nights are nice at times but they do get old quickly too.

 

Go out to get rolling after home time. Tractor brakes are frozen. Lovely. But at least it's not minus 10.

I have been in-19 before. It wasn't too bad. If there is any kind of breeze though that is complete misery.

 

If you are using the QC GPS, it's not very acturate to your physical location... at times it will think you are on the frontage road beside the intrrstate or on a ramp... the main reason I just bought the app for my iphone... much more accurate than the QC for that part.

 

I use a Rand McNally.

 

Reminds me of the last time I took Sabra to that refrigerated warehouse in Shelbyville, IN. One of the security dudes there at the gate was hucking rocks at a coyote.

 

Okay, trailer dropped at the beverage place, empty trailer retrieved, and as luck would have it I got a parking space at the cramped, tiny little craphole of a Pilot off exit 4 on 465 south of Indy.

Which means Indian food for lunch, and dinner tonight, and probably lunch again tomorrow. Today is a good day. Now if I could just get a load back to Richmond, I'd be a happy camper.

 

I intend to!...just as soon as I get rid of this load and switch the reefer off. They started 30 mins ago but I think they are counting each pallet before taking another off. My 14 will be up by the time they are done so will have to off duty to a rest area. I'm only 2hrs from the yard so hoping they bring me back so I can reset.

I have melatonin and sleep aid tablets, but I don't dare take those unless I know I have plenty of down time to recover.
