    here in Ocala. Drop the trailer and about 1 hour later, get a pplan, pu here on the yard and take 70 miles to Orlando for a midnight del. First, my clock started at 0730, and not even with a split 8 could that work. Then back that up with a mt trailer move to Albany, GA, and not pay ldd mile rate, so decline both. Got to love the weekend planners from Decatur. Now ask me to run to Albany and get one of those that are going to Laredo, I am on it, so just wait until morning.

    At the Atlanta terminal for the night. This yard is beyond crazy. Ive never seen a terminal look like this. Gotta have the shop check this trailer then finish my trip to Florida.

    In a hotel room in Denver on home time.
    Had a great day with the girls yesterday at Boondock's.
    This morning wasn't so great. I have a cold, and my back is killing me - probably from all the car racing and bowling and laser tag and all the time on my feet yesterday.
    So I sent them to the museum without me today so I could rest and hopefully be ready to drive when I'm supposed to.

    Still, it's been a nice home time.

    got my general mills load in stockton and then took a load down to van nuys, im getting much quicker at that store and one shot it tonight so I was thrilled for that since i dont one shot too often. When i got to the store there were some cars burning rubber around the corner in the lot which worried me a bit since they were flying past me as well, as I was unhooking the loaded trailer police showed up and I watched a big group of people just scatter like roaches but they caught one of the vehicles and had him for a bit.

    Going to watch the new walking dead episode then get some sleep, have to go get my medical renewed tomorrow then got a late load going to fallbrook.

    Macon, GA. Early evening got 2 pplan. PU water and take to either Lawrenceville, GA or Sawnee, GA. Really not sure. BOL says one thing, assign says another. Since the truck finally fixed, mpg back up to around 8.6 mpg, and that is with this 45K of water. After leaving KW noticed that the jakes are not working. Checked the owners manual and did what they said, no help. Asked the shop in Ocala yesterday afternoon and this morning if they could just take a look at it and see if when the ECM was installed that the parameters did not take and enable them again. They did not have the time, told me that it is a switch, and maybe could look at it tomorrow but will probably need KW to fix. Will not look at it but they already know what is wrong. Stopped at a Cummins place in Valdosta and told him what was going on, and he said, just needs to hook up the computer and re-set. They did not have the time. Nothing wrong with the switches. Ocala is now on my list, okay to park, not try and get work done.
