    Got up to Port Wentworth late Wednesday night. Woke up early yesterday morning and was backed in getting loaded at 7am. For whatever reason it took the shipper 3 hours to load me. Oh well, such is the trucking life. I got to the yard at. 7:15 last night with 3 hours left on my 14. I dropped my loaded trailer, fueled then had supper. I figured I would be spending the night in Richmond. That's what I get for thinking. I went inside to check in with Jonathan and left 10 minutes later with a 4 dropper starting in Nampa Idaho, Ontario Oregon, Tacoma Washington and ending in Union Gap Washington. I've been to two of these drops before. This is one of our LTL loads put together at our dock, I'll run real hard and start dropping mid day Monday and be done late Tuesday. Oh, I hooked to the trailer and left with enough time to make it here to Whites truck stop in Raphine Va. Time to shower, grab a nice breakfast and boogie onward. Be safe all, God bless!

    Nice truck too, JB.... Met an Abilene driver here at PFG in Little Rock. Nice lady. Her name is Keema (sp?). She asked me a few questions about Abilene. Gave her honest answers. Told her generally a good company to work for. She seemed a little miffed that AMX gave her a 6am appt time but receiver told her she was not scheduled until 11am. I told her those things happen more often than you might think. But they got her a dock and waved to her as I pulled out before 8am. Only to take my 10 in the staging area. God Bless my Abilenee friend's. Deuces. Back to sleep.

    JB, your recent posts cleared some thing up lol! Home this weekend for some down time, showered for an hour and a half lol. Long couple weeks out but learning lots. Close enough now to see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Lots of Richmond to Phoenix Az to Colton and back to Henderson NC. hit 3 of my 4 corners and all my mountain ranges. Have a great weekend all! I really appreciated the "Welcome home drivers, thanks for a job well done" sign at the terminal entrance.

    Most of the time it is not the carrier. Walmart for instance is the one that sets the appts but not until after they are notified of pickup. Then even sometimes after that it is screwed up. Just the industry.

    East and north. It's because of the way the antenna is routed. I pulled the radio out and plugged the one from my portable unit into it and have been in sirius bliss ever since.
