    Assuming I can successfully hook up in the mud, heading to Jamestown, NY.

    Question is whether to leisurely recap and arrive 2 hours early (having only 3 hours left after my Friday morning delivery, but two 10-hour recaps immediately in the queue), or roll the dice, push hard, and take a true 34-hour reset 950 miles into the trip -- arriving just 45 minutes early. That's a meager buffer for a 2450-mile run, but the upside is going on the board with 9/11 11/14 & 45/70 hours and, with a day off in the last 14, continued eligibility to run Canada (though on Canadian recap)...

    Lol. I'm greedy -- don't care how many miles I have -- I always want more!


    Dash cam saves another... Just talked to a fellow conway driver who got blocked in at the walmart by a Mexico-plated truck claiming to have been hit by him. Both were getting worked up and the Mexican threatened to call the police before Conway remembered he had the dash cam and said "go ahead I have everything on video." Other truck then drove off, but the conway driver was still left shaken.

    Remember guys and gals -- DOT brake week starts today. Take the extra 5-10 seconds to duck walk under the trailer and give things a quick look -- might save you from rolling through scales with brakes like this:
