Alrighty then. Thanks for the unnecessary PSA.

Wassup Truckerland. Tonight I'm Lexington, SC. I haven't been posting because there hasn't really been much to report. Once I finally got loaded at that shipper I started my journey to South Carolina. This was an incredibly lazy run, as the delivery time wasn't until today. Honestly this load could have been done a day sooner but the broker never got back to me. The folks at the final were amazing. Some of the sweetest folks I've ever encountered. It's such a pleasure when you encounter a delivery like that, it's a nice little bright spot in the week that stays with you for a while. Once I was empty, I was sent to Owens Brockway in Lexington. This has never happened to me before, but my pickup there was a dnh. I think that there's a new spotter there, I've never seen this guy before. He actually came over to my truck, shook my hand, and introduced himself. What a cool guy! I grabbed my load after dropping my empty and got moving. This load is heading to the Miller plant in Albany, so it's a nice quick run. I'm 5.5 hours away, and my load is due at 3pm. So I have a nice wide window of time before I have to leave. I could have gone further tonight but I'm exhausted. A cattle truck parked next to me last night and those friggin cows kept repeatedly waking me up. Gotta love it. The smell doesn't bother me, I've been around farms all my life. But dam, the noise was ridiculous. Those heifers needed some Ambien. Well guys, I'm calling it a night, gonna try and recover some lost sleep. Be safe out there, and keep the rubber side down. Until tomorrow, peace y'all.

Exactly. Hence the reason I encourage folks to ask questions here. The post of mine you quoted was in response to the "helpful" previous post.

 

Clearly he's working hard. There were 6 loaded trailers including mine. I've never seen that before. And it's worth repeating...he's really friendly. I'm actually looking forward to going back.
