    I was just making conspiracies lol. But agree with everything you said. Never understood why people don't use the tails or alter the fuel stops regularly. They're pretty good about planning the fuel stops to be at most twice a day and usually only once every day or two.

    Also agree about the keeping to myself and leaving dispatch alone lol. Most people that are 'socially aware' know that dispatchers have no interest in small talking with basically strangers, even if we are employed by the same company. I want no favors done for me and want no favors asked of me. I keep my distance from any office staff lol. I just do my job and want to be left alone and I leave them alone in return.

    Went pretty well. Made it from Fort Morgan to Boonville, MO in 11 hours, which included my 30 min break, so I'd say that was cookin along pretty well.

    I had no idea we ran down to New Orleans. I always like going there though -- a little change of pace from the usual cities we travel through in this industry.

    I'm sure they'd work you in a little early on an open window delivery like that. Should be empty early enough to make some good headway on your next load.

    Oh yeah. We run down there. We used to take Coke down there a lot when I first got here. We also sometimes pick up rubber going to Mount Vernon from there. You drop the trailer on the street and another driver gets it loaded for you. He takes it to the port since most of us don't have TWIC cards. There's even been a couple of instances in which I've taken Chinese food down there. I'm like you, I like running the Gulf Coast. I wish we had more of a presence down there because that's always a treat.

    Think it came out to be 687 or so. I've only had a couple 700+ mile days in my few years of 68mph trucking lol. Everything has to work out truly perfect.

    Got a heck of a reload planned for today after dropping at Craftsmen. 3 stop delivery planned for the DMV. One in Culpeper, VA on Thursday morning, one in Aberdeen, MD for Thursday evening, and final one near Dover, DE. Frozen load at -10.

    Not a weird load in terms of trucking, but a weird load for Climate, for sure lol. It's loaded on a brand new trailer so that's a nice touch.

    Got my John Denver loaded up for the 850 mile trip on 64

    Lol that's a good ### run there!!! I'm envious my man lol.....that's definitely a change in pace. I got off loaded late in the day so I gotta live load in Centralia, IL tomorrow for Battleboro, NC. The directions are kind of weird. Map study is necessary tonight lol

    How'd you make it out with the ol' fashioned map study lol? I like those runs to Eastern NC. I wish more states had long 3-4 lane stretches like NC has on 40.

    You did not miss out on much lol. Took 3 hours to get from west of DC to North of Baltimore. Probably the most brutal 50 miles I've had in a long time. Hours are gonna be pretty much shot tomorrow, but maybe they already factored that in for a reload this weekend.
