Good Night From II

TA in Troy, IL. Mac34 let me adjust my pta but won't set my eta. Oh well, I'll try to snag a load tomorrow when I get to Morris.

 

I run into that now and then. I just send a freeform mssg to my terminal and they do it. Only takes them a minute or two.

 

I remember when my roommate, who grew up with 128K MP3s heard through cheap ear buds, listened to a FLAC file with my Heil headset.

It took me six months to get that headset back...

 

haha yeah im all for a good pair of headphones, a few months ago I invested in a pair of wireless Turtle Beach gaming headset which about freaked my wife out when she saw how much I paid, best dang headphones I have ever owned and I use them to watch my movies on my laptop when im on the road, I just wish I paid a tad more for the rechargeable but I get close to 20 hours or so with 2 AA batteries even using the bass boost and stuff and I buy the big packs of batteries at costco for a lot cheaper, kirkland batteries work very well.

Sitting at a rest area off the 40 before Barstow, I made decent timing today doing 612 miles, the load was a bit heavier than normal going to Vegas so I wasnt able to fly up the hills plus was a store more in the city which takes a lot longer to get to with all the dang lights and traffic then it was smooth sailing to Lake Havasu then here. I love these light sterilite loads which currently is sitting at a tad over 10k lbs.

 

Doing a 10 on I-15S in Spanish Fork UT just before the exit to US-6. Only a mile or so from my next pickup in the morning. Parked with 9 mins left on my 70.

Left Cheyenne in the wee morning hours to drop my Wally World load in Grantsville UT early. Now THATS a DC in the middle of nowhere!! Snagged a sweet new 15 series trailer for my live load in the morning. Live unload in the TX panhandle Wednesday morning so I'll get to keep this one a bit

 

Ville Platte, LA. All of 5 miles to go in morning to pu my 15K command load and then up to Detroit for Wednesday. Jeez, back up 55 to 40 to 65 to 71 to 75.

 

Brain farted this morning and took off for the DC 15 minutes before my 34 reset kicked in, so I'm running on recaps this week. Sitting with 5.5 hours on my 70. The advantage of always going to the same store is that I know I'll be getting back enough hours to run the next day.

 

Last week I sat for a day, then get a call the next morning asking if I'm ready to play.
Maybe they thought I needed (or would get) a reset, but with the new rules it was a day too early. I ended up running recap all the way back here for home time.
That sucks that you missed it by only 15 minutes.

 

I've done it too. TA in Morris, no empty, the good loads are 30 miles away and I can't bobtail there

 

Still sitting here in LA on this command load. FCFS so thought that I would get here early, well, so did 4 other trucks. Almost 2 hours per truck to load and only one loader. Now been sitting more than 5 hours and have not even started me yet, and I have a 0930 del 1188 miles away on Wednesday. Now command is trying to redo del apt since I might get out of here by 1600 EST and will only have 6 hours left to run today. At avg 60mph, looking at 19 hours driving. But also going to hit Toledo and Detroit rush hour on Wednesday. Was planning on being at the New Boston terminal on Tuesday. Now doubt that can even to get to Dayton by Tuesday.
