Good Night From II

I have had similar symptoms.
It was the air filter.

 

baker truck corral in baker city or. picked this load up in yakima wa and going to mooresville nc. i get to tcall it in denver terminal on the 7 by 0830. about 930 miles away rite now. so see how far i get tomorrow b4 i send a mac 22. i originally stopped at the flying j in la grande, but noone seem to want to seat me at the resteraunt. so i still had 1.25 hrs left, so just left and came here. needed a shower and laundry, but not with their bad service.

 

I'm at a J in Nebraska.
630 miles to go for my delivery in MN day after tomorrow morning, then I head home for several days of sleep and visiting and cooking.
Did I mention cooking? In a real kitchen with a real stove and oven, in quantities that beg for several meals of leftovers when I get back on the road.
Fried rice, curry chicken, some of MY mac'n'cheese. And I think I'll be doing a big roast beef dinner in the meantime.
Heaven.

This load was perfect.
It gives me 2,000 miles for the week going on home time. I come back on Friday with nearly a full week to make miles for my next check.
And I get to deadhead home and have 4 days off.

 

That J can be a bit dodgy. Sometimes good, or bad.

You can make that delivery time for the t-call, if you forego fuel stops and pre and post trips, and most of your break time in-between.
Gotta love Plus-1 times, eh?

 

But nobody ever seems to deliver loads to be t-called on time. I can't remember the last time a t-call I was waiting for arrived on time.

 

The T/A in Nashville. For the first time ever, paid to get a reserved parking spot. This place is packed, and a Saturday. Now I have a nice easy drive. I have 3 days to get 1200 miles. Turns out my last load is a live at Dollar General at 1800. I am so going to take my time. This one that I have now has all day to get there, but of course Plus 1 says that I can deliver on the 7th at 0001. Yeah Right. I said 1000.

 

moose...yeah, not sure i can make it by that time. dont need fuel(3/4 tank), if i can make it to flying j in rock springs wy(602 miles) will leave about 334 miles to go. but thats my figuring. depends on the weather and how fast i can get up these grades. but doing 602 miles tomorrow will be pushing it. let you know tomorrow nite lol

 

We are limping into Albuquerque on the final descent. Down to low range to climb 4% grades. Red check engine light came on just before Moriarty. Going to see if they will swap us into a new truck, otherwise it's shop time and repower the load.

 

Not sure if they are going to t-call our load or not (supposed to deliver Sunday night in Compton). We're likely going to be in Albuquerque at least through Monday. Home time.... bleh...

 

woke up to 2 voicemails first saying I screwed up and took a trailer to the wrong store bla bla and then the next message saying it was a big mistake and it wasnt even the store I went to, dont scare me planners! I always double check my trailer number, seal and paperwork so that does not happen to me. I thought today would be a short day since I only had a load to Valencia which I was looking forward to since I came down with something and woke up feeling very weak and achy, nope got called up and because of some screwups I am now doing Valencia and then running a load near Modesto, ohwell extra decent miles. I never realized how many muscles I use during a day around this truck until I became sick, havent felt this achy in a very long time but got to work.
Shut down beside the store since I only had 32 min left of my 14 so not worth trying to go yet.
