    Ahhhhh ok, you must not be too deep into PA, maybe Barkeyville? I can't remember the name of the town where that TA and Speedway is...the 29 I think.

    Yep that's it exactly. Pulled in with 8 minutes left on my 11. Had a upper nose marker out on trailer. They had it fixed an payment taken in just under half an hour.

    Happy Tuesday Climateers! I'm going to Atlanta with Coke. I'd like to run Climate Miles today, but trailer 3600 is getting surgery. Im at the East St. Louis Pilot. Leaky airbag and a tire. They insisted on the changing the tire, even though I could have ran on it. These tire shops are funny though. If it don't look perfect, change it. What yall up to?

    Dropping my load of sugar at craftsman then bobtailing to Hershey to head to fountain CO. Been awhile since I’ve been there. I imagine I’ll be reloading taters

    Just got to the yard for a 10, after getting back from New Orleans, picked up a Silgan to Columbus for Thursday, then home.

    That expression never fails to make me chuckle. ( climateers ). I dropped at edwardsville an then worked my way to grief for a new century load. Got hung up just before 70 an 61 cuz of an accident somewhere on 70. I went up 61 an ran through wentzville an across the service rd. Jumped back on at foristell then back off an down to coke. After i left grief an got back on 70 the east bound side was still backed up out to the rest area at the 198 mm. Must a been one heck of an accident. It was somewhere on 70 i believe near wentzville pkwy exit. I'll barring no traffic issues in the am make sauer by 7:30. Was supposed to be there at 7 but traffic messed that up already.

    I've heard that place at fountain is a slow unload. I don't recall going there for climate. Used to go there for sharky but that's been over 10 yrs ago.

    I remember lumper saying when he was still here that they on average were like 4-5 hours for unload. Might get a good nap in if that’s the case

    I actually made Sauer at 7 on the dot. Left at 5:15 with 111 miles left to go this morning. I thought i wouldn't make it till after 7 myself but i made better time than i figured on.
