    Last week sucked bad. Went from Trenton-Cincy-Pontoon Beach, Pontoon Beach-Racine, Racine-Burlington-St. Louis, St. Louis-Monroe Oh-Trenton. Go home for a reset with a 109 mile preplan to Indy for Monday. I had just come off hometime Tuesday and was far from needing a reset. 1600 miles for the week, 230 of it came from deadheading from Cleveland to Trenton for hometime.

    For this week, Indy-Trenton-Wheeling Il, Wheeling-Bollingbrook-Stevens Point, Stevens Point-Wis Rapids-Houston Tx for Friday, most likely a deadhead to Waco for Glass to Fort Worth or right up to Fort Worth for beer or ceiling fans. Could end the week with around 3200-3400 miles depending on if I get out of Houston.

    This is a lesson for the new peeps and its what my Trainer told me- Forget the bad weeks and remember the good weeks. Most drivers only remember the bad and forget the good. I have had 3k+ miles weeks and a lot of 2.5k+ miles weeks, only 2 sub 2k weeks that weren't from me asking for 4 days of hometime.

    Also, its frickin hot everywhere, I am sure when I get to Houston it will be 110 out. 127 north of trenton is closed passed seven mile. The detour sucks so much, I would say find a Different route, OH503 is also closed before 127 so you can't come that way and its detour is no better.

    If you are who I think you are, I heard about you from Day Tripper and some other guys in Eden.

    Man I need to get to reading - there are so many threads from people I have never heard of. I am so behind the 8 ball!

    Hope everyone is well!

    Yea that was my first guess! :). There's a lot of glass imbedded in the plastic so another vehicle was definitely involved.

    Ripping out landing gear is true talent, my guess is it got put on its side in the process. The 660 he hit or got hit by another truck would be my guess since its the front end and the fairing and tank.
