A pretty pedestrian week overall. Did get to see Duluth, MN today which I have never been to which was nice. Only one load to choose from leaving from Cottage Grove today so I took it. A four stopper (Spokane Valley, Kent and Tacoma, WA and ending in Tillamook, OR) ending on the Pacific ocean. Unfortunately can't deliver the first stop until Monday morning so will be resetting in Post Falls, ID most likely. Taking the scenic route across about half of North Dakota and all of Montana along US 2. Weather looks pretty good up north so going to enjoy the back roads. Not the greatest of miles again but keeping moving along roads I like to drive and the extra stops are making up for a bit of the lower miles so not too much to complain about.

A couple of decent weeks. Beautiful run across US2 along the northern portion of Montana and through a small part of Glacier National Park. Was one a three day return trip to Dallas from Portland when I decided to make it a 4 day trip instead as all of the loads leaving the terminal on Saturday had an extra day on them for some reason so didn't need a reset. Heading to the driver meeting tomorrow morning where they hopefully tell us about a 0.10 a mile pay raise Rolling up to south Detroit after that and hopefully back through Arkansas before Thanksgiving to spend the day with my mom and eat some good vittles. Had to do the old loaner swap today as my truck was due a PM along with needing an air leak fixed. All and all everything going along pretty smoothly as of late.

 

Haha, nope just wishful thinking. Nothing was said about any raise. Supposedly getting a few random new trucks to be tested out before they decide on what ones to purchase. Purchasing is supposedly happening toward end of second quarter, we will see. Still holding out hope they ditch the #### ELD. Five in fleet now getting tested out. Going to make driving a ####load less enjoyable besides reducing my $$$$$.
