I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

A little brisk in Minneapolis this morning, but supposed to get into the 50's today. One more stop then get some rest and get some sort of crap in the trailer to pay for a trip outta here tomorrow before the cold changes it's mind.

Side note, I had to be on my A-game in rush hour traffic this morning. Never been here before for one thing, for another not used to going the speed limit during rush hour. I'm more used to Atlanta traffic where you have LOTS of time to make sure you're not missing any turns LOL.

 

Minneapolis???
I had to look to make sure who posted
your string doesn't usually go that far
did you have some bread crumbs to mark your way?

 

Not that I really gave up , but I am just gonna stick things out.

I really don't like the sound of working on a 1099 either. Lol

 

There goes the neighborhood.

I might have to learn how to speak Canadian.

 

EH?......

 

a bunch of southerners with a Canadian accent
doesn't that add up to Cajun?

 

Dadgum Red, when you jump the reservation you don't mess around. Greencastle Pa for a bit. Got the windows down and truck off for the 1st time in a while. Kinda nice. Be cool on yer stool, we out! Yep Ol Troy has dang shore got his southern Canadian down, don't he!

 

Kicked my load off in Laredo this morning and had a reload waiting for me on the yard going to Ardmore, OK. Currently parked at the Carl's Corner Petro.

Well almost had a massive heart attack today...turns out Texas DPS has not attached my new med card to my license as of yet. Was told it takes 3-4 weeks for it to get attached should you send it via fax or email. So me being anal retentive (thank god) and not knowing this called DPS today to see if I am good to go. My old card had expired March 7 and my recert was dated March 2 so no problem there....however since my card is still not on file I've been downgraded.

However as was explained to me by 2 different very helpful reps (shocking I know) the state of Texas realized there is a Catch 22 for drivers who often don't or can't get recertified until their existing card has expired so since I fall in that category as long as I show up at the DPS in person with my documents then I'm fine.

So first tihing in he morning I'm grabbing a cab over to the DPS office in Hillsboro and getting this taken care of. Thank god I don't have to be in Ardmore till 0300 Friday so I'm not in a rush. :smt067:smt067

 

Ah an what a day .
