    On my way to Indianapolis Indiana, Westmont Illinois, Bridgeton Missouri, Prineville Oregon, and Lakewood Washington. Left the yard yesterday. This load will take me to Friday morning to get empty. It’s all good though, it’s a 3700 mile trip. The last trip out from Richmond 3 weeks ago was a 4095 mile odyssey. Sitting 12 miles from my first drop finishing up a reset so I can work this load correctly so as not end up out of hours next weekend.

    Isn’t that when you want to be out of hours so they can’t bother you at home?
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Exactly. Because of where I live, my standard excuse if and when they call for a favor is, “I’d like to help out, but I’m down in the Keys for a few days” works every time.

    Having been born/raised in MO Brdigeton is loosely centered around the I-70 / I-270 split and runs mostly westward out towards St. Charles area....Ferguson is still plenty east of most places with a Bridgeton address. There used to be a Ford assembly plant in Bridgeton that built Explorers, not sure if it's still there.
     
    Lonesome, JohnBoy and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    Meh.... close enough.

    One might think I was far enough north of Baltimore to avoid their crime, but it and its associated trash still finds its way out here.
