Crete, from one red truck to another

Real nice drive today. Picked up a load in Modesto, CA and taking it to a suburb of Seattle. First time driving up I-5 in northern California. Stopped tonight in Central Point, OR just N of Medford. Nice stop as there is a biking/walking trail nearby with loads of plump blackberries.

 

Finished off the run up to Tukwila, WA last night and still sitting at the dock of the grocery warehouse getting unloaded. Hopefully they saved me a good run to escape out of here. First time driving this far up into Washington. Would be nice to get a load heading east into Montana as that is one of the 3 remaining states that I have not been to as of yet.

Blame door handle broke at the fulcrum. Still functioning for locking and such. Also about 6K over my B service interval so perhaps will try and get that done today if I get by a Petro or TA.

 

Well got a load to Toledo, OR along the Oregon Coast highway and delivered it yesterday. Had to wait until around 1200 to receive a load for today. Another Cretan was there that I had met previously in Iowa and was picking up at the same place and had been there before so we convoyed up to Longview, WA and picked up a heavy ### load of paper. We managed to make it up there and back down to Weed, CA about 30 minutes ago so a very long day. We are in striking distance of making it to Los Angeles tomorrow were we are delivering. Supposedly I will be picking up something and relaying it off to another driver in Las Vegas after that, we will see.

 

What a long day. Made it to Buena Park, CA where I will unload later in the morning. Parked along the street with many other trucks so may take a while. Lots of road construction going on in Cali and I will have to say they are in need of it as some really rough roads in some areas. Hopefully will still be able to pick up my next load and relay it off in Las Vegas before too late tomorrow.

 

Made it back to Vegas as scheduled and finally got the load I had relayed yesterday afternoon. The driver of course said the mud flap is falling off of his trailer but had done nothing to fix it so I went back today and took it off and fixed it so it will be ready to roll on Thursday. Flying to Dallas on Tuesday for my Wednesday interview with Poly. Hoping all goes well.

 

Will do bro, best of luck whatever you decide. Just enjoying the days at home, the grill has barely enough time to cool down before I fire it up again
