    At the westbound rest area at Baker City, Oregon. These spots might have barely been big enough for a cab over pulling a 48. Wally said No Go on early delivery so I will get close and camp. Probably try that Outpost Truck Stop ya'll suggested.

    Staged at the Outpost Shell in Sunnyside, Washington. Started 5 hrs late this morning waiting for daytime to run Cabbage with the Winter mix going on up there. Wasn't too bad. Temps held in the mid 30s so road was OK just some windshield slush. There is a Walmart store a short walk from this T/S. Probably go grab a few items. I reckon I'll crawl out of here around 16:00 tomorrow.

    I forgot to mention they had flood advisories in several places along I84. About 55 and sunny where I am parked.

    Heyl starts everyone at 37 ct as far as I know. There was a rehire in orientation that started higher but I gathered she didn't get the sign on bonus. 1 ct idle, 1 ct fuel %, 5 ct everything over 28 K in a quarter. $1,500 sign on paid in increments. There was a guy in orientation with only 6 months experience and he started at 37 also. I believe 6 months is their minimum in Florida. Not sure about the other hiring zones since I know they do have trainers. If they take student graduates, the pay scale would likely be different.
