    What I said was “take a couple days off”... :)

    Maybe they would have paid for the room if not paying breakdown... I know for a fact that all my crap in this house would not be ported to another house via a third persons house ... LOL

    But that just me... I hate swapping houses!!!
    (Unless they are putting me in a new one.)

    But yes, SUCKS either way... :-(

    Pack a lunch, dinner and maybe a breakfast they are slow. We sometimes go there to pick up for MN. It takes longer to load it than drive it.

    Made it to Reno and dropped a day early. Now doing a reset. Home time coming up. Must say, I had such a wonderful experience once I left Area 51 Travel Center/Cafe/Brothel. For the next 265 miles up US 95 was nothing but snow and ice covered roads. But it’s all good. No crashing, no breaking traction, and was able to stop and brew some coffee while a few up us waited for a sand truck to come and sand one of the passes so we could climb it. Other than that, it was a fun day.

    On a more personal note, the final plans are taken care of for our upcoming trip in April to Italy. I received my confirmation from the Ferrari Manufacturing plant in Maranello Italy for a drive around the test track in a Ferrari. My wife will be taking pictures.

    Back to my reset.
     
    Lonesome, dwells40, Evomalo and 2 others Thank this.

    Flowing ok this morning... I arrived last night for a 7am LUL ... bumped the dock on time and now waiting for paperwork only 90 minutes later.

    I really felt bad for this foreign driver that just tried to check in... he must have been late for his first appointment and his dispatch rescheduled it for two days from now... he was almost pleading for them to take the load... so here he sits... waiting... can’t even check in for a whole day. I’d be pissed too... either for getting a load I can make on time or pissed at myself for missing the drop time.

    Passenger. If dude does ANYTHING I don’t like, we’ll be having a little discussion.

    Maybe double up on the undies that day!!!

    That’s the job I want... Driving others around a test track... seeing just how many can take the turns at full speed and how many others soil themselves... lol

    Whatever the outcome... ENJOY IT!!!
