    Wow Miss rocks has competition in the photo taking department!! Awesome pics!!

    Amigo's meat in h town is where I'm calling home for the night. I have a 1 am delivery but not sure if they will get me in door then. Once empty I find a parking spot and see if uber can come take me to my destination. Will try to get my Texas license. Tried last time but needed proof of residency. Hope what I have works. Then I'll enjoy some time off with my girls and pick up Friday but might not leave till Saturday to head to Colorado.

    Oh ya do they call it H town because the H stands for Hottt!! Triple digits on my dash gauge. Apu time!!

    At the Love's in Marion, IN. Took a much needed shower and now kicking back in the McDonald's using the free wifi. Delivery is tomorrow at 7am at the Dollar General which is just across the I69.

    Speaking of I69, I ran the new section from Evansville north to mm87 where it dead ends at US231 while they build the section up to Bloomington. From there you run IN58 to IN45 to IN37 to get to I465.

    Despite the construction zones and a 7 minute delay at the state line in Indiana while they hoisted a new road sign frame near the US41/I69 split, I made it from Union City to here in 7 hours flat with an average speed of 60 mph. Not bad considering the gap between the end of I69 and I465 was a mixture of skinny roads, 4 way stops and traffic signals.

    It was roughly the same driving time going up I24 to I57 to I70 or running the Western Kentucky Parkway to I65 and then up to Indy but shaved off a good 30+ miles.

    It's going to be sweet when I69 is completed, even just to Bloomington, where you'll catch the 4 lane IN37.

    I had a SMH moment on the new 69 when I realized this was the last time that road will ever be that smooth.:biggrin:

    My parents are in assisted care now
    The Sheraton in Portsmouth NH best Suite is $250/night
    they are paying more then that
    they told me years ago i had used up my chance for any inheritance but giving it to nursing home conglomerates is just
    wrong
    They were at least smart enough to decline my offer of coming home and taking care of them


    swimming with the rays was one of my favorite things in the Caymons
    and mailing cards from He ll

    @wsyrob, that's cool about your dog. Glad it's helping ! [​IMG] BTW: Awesome pics of your vacation.

    Where in the world is the Great @wore out ? Hopefully he didn't get taken down by Bessie [​IMG]

    We did more road tests for our company yesterday. It was the largest orientation we had so far, 15 people. Don't make much doing it but it's good networking. We ask everyone we road test if their going to do OTR and almost all of them say 'Dollar General' then they proceed to have the most difficult time backing a truck into a space with 5 wide open docks and no trailers around. These recruiters have them pumped up about the money they're gonna make. I swear they have a twinkle in their eye. They're gonna make it rain in their 'Dollar General' trailer. [​IMG]

    One thing about being on the Dollar General account is that you will learn to back a truck or you will hit something and be out of a job

    Just left that ####hole city. Thank god my AC is working again. My company seems to like messing with me when I come off hometime. It's like the only loads they schedule are between 1400 and 1600 so by the time I'm loaded I'm smack dab in the middle of rush hour.

    Good luck with DPS...you'll need it.
