    Congratulations. Good luck on your CDL test. We finished class in Cartersville last Friday. I will be leaving with my trainer Monday morning. I hope your training goes as well as the class did.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you. Too bad you didn't get that run last week while we were still at class. We would have loved to meet up and take you to dinner. I will be back in Cartersville Sunday night and my trainer and I will be leaving Monday morning. He said a lot of times on Monday's like this that we might have to do a local delivery first thing for the trailers that were dropped on the weekend. Maybe we will take your load that you are dropping to Fairburn. Anyway, have a great weekend.
     
    FalconsFan21 and Steelersjunkie Thank this.

    While this is true, I think you may have misunderstood my post. I'm not dropping it here at Cartersville, I'm dropping it at Fairburn shortly.

    Wassup Truckerland. Tonight I'm in Williamsburg KY. I recently discovered this truck stop on a previous trip, and quickly stored it on my favorites. Not a ton of parking, but it'll work tonight. There's a Walmart right next door, as well as a Mexican steakhouse. So I'm grabbing a quick beer while making a shopping list, then it's off to the store. Quick tip for all of you who are either new, or about to go to class... If you have prescription medication, switch to the Walmart pharmacy. That way you can get them filled anywhere in the country. I forgot to fill mine while I was at home, so I'm grabbing mine tonight. I delivered my load this morning and was sent just a little ways down the road to pick up load of dunnage heading to Owens in Brockway PA. I'm dropping it in Trenton though, since it isn't due until Monday. I'm both shocked and thrilled that I've been steadily moving through the holiday, I wasn't sure what to expect. Last year was a little iffy, but so far so good this time. Traffic was pretty decent, as far as volume. But it was still completely horrible, because it's holiday traffic. All of the four wheelers were Sunday drivers. Tards doing under the speed limit in every lane, and a ton of old people. I'd love to have one of those cow pushers on the front of my truck, like the trains from the old west. Move it or lose it man, I'm working out here. I think that everyone should have to ride in a truck before they get their license, so you know how to act around a truck. Well guys, I don't have much to report today. It was a fairly routine day. I hope y'all are doing well. Be safe out there. Keep the rubber side down, and check your pins. Have a great night! Peace.

    That moment when you realize you don’t have to be over here going slow in the Weigh in Motion lane, because you’re on Hometime driving your POV LOL! :eek:
    After 5 weeks out on the road you just do what is normal/natural lol. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holdiay weekend, be safe!

    No time for a long post, but I got a nice treat today. After I dropped in Trenton I was given a load dropping in Weedsport. My wife is at her parents house for the holidays, and this route goes right by them. So I got to see everyone after all :) Have a great night guys, catch ya tomorrow.

    Yup, anytime I end up on 90 I'm going right by their town. It worked out perfect. By the time I got parked I only had 30 minutes left. So it was a productive day as well :cool:
