Turned the tk in at wilsonville, took a relaxing trip on Amtrak Portland/ seattle/fargo. appox 31 hrs. $198.00 Pack your own food, it's pricey on board.
I have deaded headed 700 miles twice from Stockton,ca to Pasco,Wa. Back in the days before rail took those long loads away. Both those trips ended up being 3000 and 3200 miles when all was said and done.
So even before i have finaled out on my current trip out to Tracy,CA from Southern,MN, my next preplan arrived yesterday. Load south of Fresno, have one drop on the 4th in Indiana, then 2 more drops in Jorsey, on the 6th.
What yr was this? I know about now with the current fuel prices companies would be about ready to have cow dead heading someone further than a couple hundred miles. Glad you had the good sight seeing trip though.
In the 2 cases I mentioned it was a "we need trucks here now" kinda thing...so shipper paid the deadhead miles.
