Millis OTR journal

Wassup Truckerland. I made it to Trenton, wasn't sure if that was gonna happen or not. When I went to sleep, the area I was in was supposed to get a "dusting". I think that the weather guy nees to update his definition. There was definitely more snow than I was expecting. It wasn't awful but it kept me at 35-45 for a while. About an hour down the road, there were highway signs announcing that 80 was completely closed about 30 miles ahead. Multiple vehicle accident, and there was at least one semi involved. Awesome. So I got myself to a truck stop and planned myself a detour. Unfortunately, detours in the mountains of Pennsylvania are neither direct or easy. The roads were 2 lane roads, and not very well plowed. 25 mile detour at 25mph with my flashers on. I pissed a lot of cars off, I'm sure, but thankfully I made it through without a problem. Once I made it back to 80, the roads were significantly better. Once I got to Ohio, the roads were mostly dry. What a relief. If they had been like the first part of my journey I would have run out of my hours before I made it here. All's well that ends well. I got my truck checked in for service but they are light on staff. So I told them morning was fine with me. I'm going to sleep like no man has slept before. Hell I won't even need an alarm to get my truck in when they open. Man I'm happy with how this worked out. I'm gonna hit the store, clean the truck a bit, grab some Gold Star, and grab a shower. Then, the work begins in the morning. I've got a long list of things to accomplish, but now I have time to get it all done. And I'll have a fresh 70 to work with. Doesn't get much better than that. Hope you guys had a good day out there. As always, be safe out there. Keep the rubber side down and check your pins. Until tomorrow, peace y'all.

 

I apologize for asking if you've already mentioned it, but which school are you attending?

 

Greg has been talking about that for a while now. When I was still in Perry's truck there was a pretty bad accident here in Trenton. The driver was new, he just got his truck very recently. We were in Greg's office and I heard him say that he was pushing for 20k because of that accident. That was over a year ago.
