    Took 10 at the J south of Topeka, KS. I keep missing calls from Command, guess I need a louder phone for when I'm zonked out.

    My live unload at Walmart turned out to be a drop. Sweet.

    Then I headed to Kimberly Clark in Jenks.
    The trailer number she game me was 08395. I told her that the number was wrong, it should have another digit.
    She said that it 'should be something close' and to come back in if it was wrong so she could fix the paperwork.
    I searched the lot 4 times and found no trailer with a number even close, so I finally asked a yard dog. There was a single Swift trailer parked along side the driveway that turned out to be mine.
    Trailer 083923.
    Someone added the last two digits to make 5... funny.

    That sorted out, we're now headed to Walmart in Cheyenne, WY for a Thursday morning delivery.

    And I just noticed the hours on my 70.
    I have 12.5 hours left for the next 2 days, and I have 680 miles to go.
    Not to mention 2 pre-trips, a fuel stop, delivery and time needed to get to a truck stop.
    It'll be close.

    I had planned to deliver in Cheyenne at 1000, but that also puts me in Denver morning traffic around 0730.
    I can't afford the time.
    Luckily I have a delivery window until midnight, so it'll be a mac 22 to push the delivery out to around 1400.

    Does the Cheyenne Walmart DC still charge the $50 lumper fee for drops ?

    I don't know. Guess I'll find out.

    We are at the Petro in Colby, KS tonight.
    Tomorrow will be Little America in Cheyenne. I've never been to that one, after all this time.

    They did not the last time that I was there. But I think that it depends on what you have in the trailer. I have dropped 2 and had to sign a paper. It was direct billed. Finishing up my 24 in the morning. Pick up a load to Dandridge then back up to Augusts and then from there I was surprised with a Texas load to Wal-mart. Plainview. So after a 34 and by Sunday afternoon, already almost 2700 loaded miles. I see another 34 soon, like next week again. Hoping that can get one back to Dandridge by Wednesday. It would be sweet
