    Hey Tangerine... why is your nickname Tangerine?? :biggrin_25519: just curious... Oh... I think this question belongs to that other thread... "How did you pick your name..." or something like this... :biggrin_25526:

    Picked up our new truck in Fontana. Got a load going to San Antonio at 9pm from Carson, CA. Then we'll be getting a load that gets us home to Chicago. Been very sick for over a week. I think the only thing that will help is sleeping in my own bed.

    I had a "perfect" plan for this entire trip... but forgot one little detail when I called shipper last evening... :biggrin_25526:forgot to ask them if I arrived at 6 am today, the load would be ready...
    So... I started my clock too early today... :biggrin_25510: Had to wait for 4 hrs for them to pull out the load... So... instead of parking at a FJ in IN this evening, I am parked at a FJ on I-70 east of Columbus, OH... And instead of delivering on Tuesday as I wish, will deliver on Wed...

    And.... I though today was Thursday...:biggrin_25526: It was only this evening that I looked on my cell and it said today is Friday... :biggrin_2554: Darn! the week went fast... I wish had called the receiver today.... totally forgot... Was way too concentrated on the driving I guess...

    Oh well... gotta go now...

    Sorry to "hear" that TruckDuo... it's awful to be sick on the road... hope is nothing serious and wish you get better soon... A few good night sleeps in your place and nice rest and good food will take care of that... :biggrin_25519:
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.

    I found the one place that hauls pigs , the only want a year of otr experience . I am gonna wait it out and try to atleast get s ok me livestock experience with them and who knows maybe even stay there for a while.

    You know if I had my own truck it would probably be a bit easier then looking for a company driver spot , but hell I gotta get my boots dirty somewhere right ?

    Keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off you #####
