Millis OTR journal

Wassup y'all, greetings from Cartersville. @keen98 I'm with you, life sucks when Opie's gone. I got up and moving this morning and sent the "read for dispatch" macro and waited 4 hours for a load. That was at 7:30am. The load I got (4 hours later) was a Cedar Springs load that was available for pickup at 7:45. What the hell? So I inspected my trailer and swept it out and headed to my load. Everything on the trailer including the inspection report was perfect. There was a tiny little spot on the door seal that was a little loose, but nothing that would cause them to reject it. I backed up to the inspection dock, slid my tandems and lowered the landing gear. The woman inspecting trailers was waiting for me on the dock. As soon as I opened the trailer doors, that little loose piece became a BIG loose piece. Awesome. She noticed it, of course. After checking to see if the trailer was clean enough she had me shut the doors while she was in the trailer so she could look for any light coming in. Thank god there wasn't any and she passed the trailer. PHEW! I dropped it and hooked my load and moved my tandems. It's a good thing I listened to my dad and calibrated the suspension load gauge. There wasn't a Cat scale for over 100 miles on my trip, and I had to pass a weigh station before I could scale the load. That shipper needs a scale bigtime. Once I had my BOL in hand and looked at the declared weight I made a minor adjustment on my tandems and moved on. I passed the weigh station with no issues, the scale on the road didn't flag me. When I weighed my truck, the numbers were so perfectly balanced that I almost took a screenshot of the scale ticket and sent it to my dad . I knew that I was under gross, but I wanted to be sure of the axle weights. Since I got such a late jump on this run I wanted to push as far as I could and still get a place to park. I knew that the only place that I could go was here. I'm dropping this load in Trenton. According to the GPS I have about 8 hours left. Good enough. And @keen98 I also got 3 fuel stops on my trip. For an 800 mile run. Really? First of all, hitting my first stop will put me at about 1/16 of a tank before getting some go go juice. Not a smart plan for running hilly roads. Seeing as how I'm at a terminal I'm gonna give a giant middle finger to that fuel plan and filling my tanks here. So dumb. And since I got here so late there is of course no parking available so I had to park on the Kennesaw side of the yard. That's never happened before. But then again I've never pulled in here this late. Tomorrow should be a fairy easy day, especially since I'm north of Wrecklanta. I'm hoping I get a load in Trenton that'll deliver on Monday because my miles are hurtin' this week. Crossing my fingers. Alrighty guys I'm signing off. I was waiting for the washing machine to be open so I can get some laundry done before going to bed. Hopefully it's free because I'm ready for some ZZZZZZZs. Talk to y'all tomorrow. Be safe out there and keep the rubber side down. Peace.
