Good Night From II

Are you on the assigned fuel route, or did you decide to ignore it and go your own way?
Or, did you get lost and follow your GPS?

Just wondering why you got in that situation in the first place.

 

Flying J in Williams, iA picking up a load of eggs at 18:00

 

Getting trailer work done at the yard in Lathrop, CA... First time here... It's a nice one! Then rolling on to ATL, GA... Be there Monday night for 0300 Tuesday unload/load... Will be rolling on the 40, so wave at all the white Frieghtliner Central trucks... It might be us

 

Gaffney, SC waiting on a brake chamber repair. Got lucky and had a decently quick response from onroad and a repair guy from the Greer terminal. Gonna have to leave out in the morning now. Had hoped to get back to TN or maybe even KY when I picked up my load. Been one of those days for me.

 

Still at the Sparks terminal after getting my truck fixed.
PU a load to OR in the morning.

 

Just got messages telling me the load is ready, and the new pick time has been moved up to an hour from now.
Not gonna happen, since the first stop isn't until 0300 on the 31st. It's only around 350 miles away.
I'll get it in the morning and still have a 14 hour break.

I just love how they try to make me move at the earliest possible second to pick up a pre-loaded trailer, with SO much time on the load before delivery.

 

One of those situations where the fuel route had me making a right turn onto a road 20 feet above me...

 

Sitting at the Petro on I-40/85 a half hour out of Raleigh, NC. JIT load delivery is 2345 tomorrow night, 100 miles away. I'm going to call the receiver in the morning to see if they can take this load early. It's listed as a live unload, but I suspect I'll be able to do a D&H.

 

Big Cabin, OK. Thought hard about trying to Tulsa, but it was cutting a little close. Might have made it with 5 mins to spare, but one delay could have stopped that.

 

wasco or.made it here at the pilot with 5 min left on my 11. didnt think i'd make it here since i left lodi ca this morning. i stopped at the pilot in klamath falls for my 30 min break and got subway for my dinner just in case i had to park on side of road for nite. about 90 miles for hermiston and now have a 0615 delivery in the morning
