    My reason was for the 3 S's.....sheet, shower, shave. It was rather painless, in at 6am, fuel, the 3 S's coffee and back on the big road all in 55 minutes.

    Am being chauffeured across Nevada right now. Our day will end in Fernley about 9:30. Brandon will be able to reset his ours as I finish this trip. I'll have 300 miles to do tomorrow, deliver Monday while he's finishing his reset. I'll have enough hours left over to get me through Tuesday to start working off my recap. This will allow me to run hard starting Wednesday and not worry about my clock. Tomorrow is wash the truck day. It needs a bath desperately. If anyone is wondering about the lack of splattered bugs it's because they're all over my truck.

    Your welcome. I'm glad I could help him. I'm going to wait on him to get his drop off tomorrow then lead the way over Donner Pass going into California. It's his first time, he knows what he's doing but I figure I'll take the lead for him.
     
    mommy6 Thanks this.
