    did my Santa Maria load and on the way back had another annoying driver, there was a cr england truck driving 35mph most of the time I guess scared of the curves which most trucks take at 55 easy, there was a truck behind him then a couple cars then me and several behind me and he would not use one of the large turnouts and when the first truck finally tried to make his pass cre speeds up on him almost not letting him get back over in time and then he did it to me 2 times when I tried to make my own pass, finally on a hill I flew past him being mt. It just seems there are a lot of jerks lately especially at the pumps in the truck stops, 3/4 of the last fuel stops I was there for over 30min waiting for people to move and one of the times I ended up getting a 30min break waiting for a pump to open, its just getting ridiculous.

    Tomorrow got the same combo as last week running to Paso Robles then Santa Maria, I know I can make it back with that combo but I have to push the speeds closer to 60 average to do it.

    Hebron, OH at the Pilot.

    One nice thing about having to get this Dunlop Motorsports trailer cleaned is that I was also able to get my truck washed at the same time.
    We look GOOD out here today! All shiny and shiny.

    I drop this trailer in PA tomorrow at noon and then head to Parsons, WV to pick up a load at the Kingsford place. We'll be headed to Lansing, MI.

    I hauled a Dunlop trailer to PA once. I picked it up at some dirt track in the middle of some farms in TX then delivered to PA to some guy's residence in the mountains (hills). What's the trailer number on the one you have?

    PPlan out of here in the morning. Had my talk this morning, and it was not with Security. Alcohol and drug people. Because said that could not bring the trailer to the yard on Friday. because I had a beer. I was told that I did everything correct and by the book but not getting in the truck. telling them that I could not drive and why. They had no problem with that. Said that I was off duty, in a hotel and no problem. Then there was something else that was written up, why I did not have a king pin lock on the trailer. I was hooked to it!!!!

    For MAXIMUM security they want you to disconnect from the trailer then pull forward just enough to put a kingpin lock on it.

    Follow up: It took them over 2 hours to start the unload but only took an hour for the actual unload AND the paperwork was ready right after the green light came on.
