    I believe that is in Primm, NV.

    I have a 0630 delivery in Fremont, CA tomorrow morning at a Costco. A second stop after that in Sunnyvale.
    Hopefully I have a load out of the area quickly.

    You should do a tour of the Tesla plant in Fremont while you are there.

    Montebello yard. Walked down here to dennys for dinner.
    1st stop is 3 miles away.
    Left whiskey Pete's around 7 this morning and stopped for fuel in jurupa terminal. Took my 30 break. Didn't need to but ended up getting one after walking around a bit.
    Only thing interesting that happened was going thru the new scalehouse coming into calif.
    Speed is 30 mph at first then goes down to 10 mph once you are I the scale lane. Crst was going at least 30 to 35 all the way before you get on the scales. They stopped him and gave him the arrow to the right. Of course I do t know the outcome but he was definitely speeding.specially with me going 10.
    Drivers need to be aware they can get speeding tix going thru a scalehouse

    It's nice having the ag inspection right there with the scale house. It really saves some time not to stop at Yermo.

    I'm at the Petro in Corning, CA.

    I was a little early for both stops this morning, and the first stop got me in and out very quickly. A 0600 appointment didn't show up so I lucked out.

    Mac 30 was none too good this morning. 1 load offering - pick up tomorrow morning at 0900 at Chevron in Richmond. I would have had to go back to the Garlic truck stop in Gilroy for the night, and then it would have been Monday morning traffic for 100 miles. Under 400 miles back to SoCal and delivering Tuesday.
    I ignored it.

    When I got back in the truck after the second unload I had a pplan. That one I liked a LOT more.
    Still on the west coast, but 800 miles delivering Tuesday at noon in Pullayup, WA. The pick up was 3.5 miles away at Owens Corning and could pick up as soon as I could get there.
    The load was actually ready when I got there, which was a shock. The last few times I had to wait 2-3 hours because they were so backed up.

    In and back out of the Bay Area on a Sunday. I love it!

    So I got my Walmart trip in Willows, and I found a great bag of potatoes - 8 lbs, 6 potatoes. Nice and big like I like.
    A shower topped off my day, so I am a happy camper tonight.

    At a shell station taking my 10 hr break. After delivering those 2 stops this morning
    Got a Pre plan to pick up in Southgate going to Wal-Mart in porterville ca.
    My last delivery ups, didn't have an empty so I had to go look for one.
    Planners sent me to home goods dc in San Pedro ca. Homegood said no emptied there but have one at their dropyard in Torrance. So the address they gave me was a brand new warehouse. Actual place was next door.
    Got the trailer and notice someone had hit the drivers side bottom corner. Was talking to my old dl and told him.
    Had about an hour to get to my pickup. He said I could call onroad. I said I be late on both ends if I did.
    So said I would just take it to the shipper and see if they say anything. If they didn't I would send in the Mack about damage trailer at custumets
    He said it was choice. So I took it
    The guy looked at it but didn't say anything. So after picking up the loaded trailer, I sent in the damage report.
    After delivering the load to porterville Wal-Mart I came here after picki g up some panda express for dinner.
    No Pre plan yet

    I don't mind spending money on what I like.
    I love to fish. If you only knew how much money I spend on that.
