    Mound City KS anyone? Rinky dink place. 2 HP coolers. Sort of tight blind side back in the dark, just cause I didn't want to have to dodge cars in the morning. Then on to Omaha (flashbacks of Peyton Manning. O-MA-HA! Hut hut.) for a Marlon special. Scared to even look at the details on that one. Was at the yard all day Monday and given this load at 5:30 pm. Drove 8 hours then had to give it up because I'd been up since 5:00 am. Got here tonite at 12:30 am. 1160 miles, 715 of them today. 250 to next stop.

    Saw a westbound CR England truck taking a nap in the median coming into St. Louis. Hope the driver was okay. It was really bad. Pork products and diesel fuel all over the place. Eastbound was closed and traffic was a nightmare. Rubberneckers almost caused a bunch more accidents. That's and regular rush hour traffic in St. Louis was all that slowed me down today. Amazing.

    We are empty at the Walmart DC here in London KY. I had a, what was a funny experience, this morning at the dock, so funny in fact, I'm going to let Chris write about it, as he was a witness to this and no one would believe me if I wrote it.

    1st got a smartphone in June of 2015 and was learning how to use it when I stumbled upon TTR and JB's adventures at old employer....read that over a couple weeks and was hooked but bummed ( where did he go, didn't know how to use the search fuction)

    Shortly after that I found him again on this thread and caught up

    Wouldn't want to have to play catchup again cause ever since U been here the page count has just blown up...lol
