Good night from...

Coming off hometime, get back to my truck parked at the terminal, red tagged for 2 drive tires and bicycle hanging on the back. So I go talk to the tire monkey, I showed him those tires were 6/32's he agreed. I know they are getting close and I watch them like a hawk. I have a problem with the alignment being out a little bit, but I'm saving up to take the truck to Kenworth to have it professionally done after the TA took a 5000 degree torch under my truck and heated some components up cherry red.
And the bicycle is a safety hazard bungeed up there and scratching the paint. I showed him that it is not bungeed by securely hanging by a spring loaded caribiner clasp thing, about 11 months now thank you and when I get my APU the condenser will go where the paint is scratched, besides I own the truck anyways, I like the paint scratched lol.

 

Laramie, WY. Darn elogs. I am 7 minutes short of being able to get to my final tonight. PPLAN picking up at Lowes, down to El Paso for 3/25. Turned down the first one, 45+k, recycled paper going to Snowflake. 700 miles in 22 hours. Then take a chance to either sit there until Monday, mt somewhere else, or another heavy load outta there.

Usk, WA at a paper mill that is also a Swift transfer point for tcalls going to Canada. Brought a 45k load of paper, 8 tall rolls, from Troutdale terminal.

A21CAV... I'm from that area and had a moose and countless deer living in my back yard... Every drive home from the grocery store almost certain you'd see critters everywhere... Once saw a heard of Elk in the same hay field as a moose... bought a lottery ticker same day... Currently west of St Louie MO doing a 34 shuffle before Monday morning delivery

 

Try running through the badlands at night (S. Dakota) - by day you'd think the place is dead. At night... there are hundreds of deer and antelope every mile.

 

Springer, NE. A first today for me. PU a trailer and the only way to scale it, tandems all the way to the rear. Since pass all of the scales, I think in the morning I am going to slide them up a few holes.

 

Diboll Texas on US 59 just south of Lufkin,not really a truckstop,but a nice convienence store with truck parking............this can be my super secret hidey hole when I........shoot! I just told everyone now............not a secret anymore,lol.........

 

Went back to NY from OH ... heading down to Atlanta for a Sunday delivery ... Scranton, Petro.
