    Finally got a load. Pick up at a System terminal over by the Spokane Petro going to Wichita. Tarp load with a pinpoint pickup appointment (that basically means a set appointment not a window). The Arlington yard was as full as I have ever seen in my short time here. And dang was it smokey in Smokey Point even though there aren't any wildfires in that area. Going across 90 you could barely see the mountains because of the smoke...

    I’m guessing that was you in the lead truck, a blue KW. I was stuck in that mess on the WB side.

    haha. Yeah that was me in the front truck.

    we got to have some fun in Lambeth, ON trying to make a right hand turn into a single lane construction zone right in the middle of town. Lots of barrels got moved, little bit of impromptu traffic directing and we made it to London for the night.
