Good night from...

Here at a service plaza on I-94 in IL. Going to Douglas, GA. Turns out that it is a Wal-mart DC that is set up for Disaster Relief. 20K container of liquid gas. What a load.

 

At least ya don't have to deal with urine with cornbinder!

 

No, you get to deal with 1-2 regens PER DAY and the eventual expense of having your DPF cleaned.

My Cascadia turned 38K today. Gets over 4,000 miles on a tank of DEF and HAS NEVER REGENED.

Since I refuse to play Swift's game with DEF I find it a non-issue.

 

Just left Edwardsville with a load going to Denver.
Stopped just outside of town on I70 at a service plaza.
So, I got to see the last 2/3 of the Bristol race.

Got a pplan this morning at 0715 that required me to be an hour away an hour later. No time to plan anything or do a pretrip.
As I was figuring the times that I could do it, it was taken off me - 30 minutes later. Good! It was a hazmat load as well.

So I waited until this afternoon for the next pplan to come in.
It picked up in KC, about 30 miles away, and delivered in Ottawa around 70 miles away.
But it was backed up by the Denver load that was a t-call from the terminal.
I adjusted the times on both a bit and accepted them.

Neither required an mt, and both are very light loads.
(the first picked up at a rail yard and I doubt they even wanted an mt sitting around)
Sweet.

The Denver load has enough time that I was able to cut my driving short tonight so I could finally watch some NASCAR.
This was one of the few remaining races that was not on cable.
Great race, too!
So, doubly sweet.

 

My Volvo now has around 44k on it. I too get well over 4,000 miles on a tank of DEF.
Mine regen's at least once a week though.

Poor me, I am company. So I have to put up with Swift's game for getting DEF.

 

wow! lock up the women...your an animal Mystic!.....

 

lewiston..terminal...dropped paper load(26,000) and the paper mill...got in a bit of a scrap with the mouthy hostler there...(he was a being a dick!) asked at the terminal if they been having problems there(its an important acct! around here) asked the guys name....and when i told him....he just nodded and said yep....that guy is always a dick! lol.....

 

I wonder if that's the same guy who was laying on his little wimpy hostler horn the first time I went there and didn't know where to drop my mt trailer. I hadn't even dropped it yet, just pulled into the lot with a bunch of other Swift trailers. I'd probably be grumpy if I worked there 12 hours a day too lol, just think of breathing that nasty smell all day and it soaks into your skin, never get rid of it.

Canton OH not far from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Funny I did a live unload down the road, seem to be in a plentiful freight area, but all the preplans are for 65 to 155 miles away deadhead.

 

Laramie wy at the diamond shamrock i think it is?

 

Enjoy your time at Lewiston. You getting ready for your trip. Do not forget the TP in case you go a visiting. HEHE
