Indian River

That’s the main run up there. You’ll probably see a dozen other IRT trucks running around Prosser/Grandview. Most of them will be going where you’re going too. A lot of times when you get empty in LA they’ll let you dead head back up there or Hood River, OR for another one if you ask. It’s probably where I’ll go from Bakersfield.
Vita Clean wash is a busy place sometimes. Plan on 4-6 hours there. They have free laundry and a decent shower. When I get there I pull up the hill and get in line for a bay before I ever get out. If you don’t, and you park off to the side down below in the lot you might have 3 trucks show up within 10 minutes and bushwack you. Lol.
It’s a good run and it’s where I try to spend most of my time.

 

I usually plan for a 10 hour break at the customer you’re going to. Little place with Mexican food next door (closes at 8 or 9 I think). Customer has a corner in the back where we all park. There’s a drivers lounge with a bathroom and some chairs outside. If the weather is nice there’s usually 4-5 IRT sitting around visiting on the patio. I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than my 10 hour break there unless I was purposely waiting on traffic to die out before leaving LA.

 

Yep. 97 is a good road.
