Con-Way Truckload Drivers: What's Your 20? (2014 edition)

Greenville Tx ..... Camping out at lowe's off ex92 , avoided being blitzed today, in TX coup was winding down , kinda hoping I stay in TX for tge next 2 days lol...... less Blitzing than most!

 

Yeah but I bet the BBQ stand next door wasn't open...god that little place has good food!

 

Waiting on T/A shop to bring out a fuel filter ...started acting up 10 mi outside Rockwell but I came up a mile short at exit 69 .... Sitting at light on frontage road with triangles out !

 

Not one to typically complain but they got me on some dookie!

 

Well filter turned into leaking fuel pump ...still sitting on frontage road ...waiting on a wrecker to tow me to the dealer .....

edit: only took 8 hrs to get to Arlington TX

guess hotel next by midnight!

 

Any advise on Arlington hotel? Think that's where they are towing it

 

Casa del pilot, just south of Waco. I have a late afternoon drop time in Laredo but will get there early. Got a lv 1 today. They found a slack adjuster on the tractor at 2.5 in. I'm guessing the trailer shop at Laredo can fix this? Oh well, bed time! I'm gonna sleep in I think, like till 7!

 

Settled in at the LaQuinta near six flags , cost more but got breakfast, wifi, pet freindly, and a shuttle

 

Laredo will loan you a wrench.
