Launching in the morning!

Lol,they are in charge..

 

Got 4 days off and began my trip on mon.The load had 3 stops but it was relayed to terminal,which was nice.All the stops are unloads and driver asst.Ellenwood GA to Cranbury NJ,Nashua NH and Greenland NH.Got plenty of time final 2 stops are for 6-2 0600 and 1100.At Cranbury tonight,My plan was to drive from Ellenwood to Richmond VA and get to my fuel stop.No problem...Got in and fueled up in the morning about 0730.Got on the road and hit that 95 N bus accident.That was bad..Then cleared that and hit another accident on 495..Crap the plan was to get to Cranbury NJ at 1400 and take my 10 at C..Had a 0300 appt and would just hit the road after maybe even catch the GW bridge before primetime..Well got here at 1900 and talked to security,which I was told the WH opens up at 2000 and they may take me early..They did and Im doing my 10..Very nice that they got me unloaded and really didnt mind the driver asst,not hard and was a nice change.Tomorrow Ill ask disp if I can bypass the GW and take 287,it does add 45 mi to the trip but less headache...I do have all day to get 280 mi in so they might say no dice and ill sit in that horible NY traffic.I have to turn my CB off because its prob the worst place in the country to have it on..lol
I have a feeling a Canada run is in my future after this load..Well it had to happen somtime.

 

I am humbled by your post.Just glad to be of help,if you have any questions I am happy to answer the best I can.If I cant then there are plenty of drivers that can,Gears being the best for me.This forum is where I started my job driving,it is an excellent source.
Thanks again for your suport

 

Quiet night in Cranbury NJ,I actually really dig that place.NJ gets a bad rap.Pulled out at 0800,yes a little late but wanted to avoid traffic.Got to the 1st service plaza and sent a message to my FM,asking to bypass the GW and take 287 instead,as I suspected FM said I have plenty of time and to stick to route.I answerd copy..lol..So took the GW at 1000 and had minor traffic delays.Basically normal GW drama..Got to Nashua at 1400 and was told that they dont take loads till 0530 my appt was at 0600 so no prob.Called ahead and asked if there was overnight parking here and was told there is plenty..Nice! wasnt disapointed when I got here.
I would recemend calling shipper or reciever and getting what ever info you need.My GPS and directions were spot on but they dont tell you if you can park overnight.
My last stop tomorrow I know there is a TA near by so Ill just run for that after I am done.Hopfully will have a preplan by then,hmm maybe a sweet load to Arizona or Vegas!Its an ongoing fantasy but we must hope..

 

Good tip,thats exactly what I did.Alot of times Ill fuel before I park for the night,I like just taking off in the morn.The previous day was brutal,1st day out and no AC,good amount of milage behind me,was real tired.

 

God,I wish..Roehl doesnt really send me out west.Reefer would have a better shot but I dislike reefer..lol will def get you a t shirt if I ever get out there.Dont hold your breath though.
