Parked Here for the Night

TA OKC East fewer super truckers than the exit 140 loc.

Scored a pull through spot by the building so have a good wireless signal.

 

There was a Quest driver stopped in the middle of the parking lot by the shop. I guess his elog ran out or something.

 

Chillin at the Petro here in K-town. Got to kick this lil bit of stuff in the Ham round 10. Haven't seen anything that grabs my attention just yet. Not to cold here, going down to 19 or so. Sounds like Pack is having all kinds of fun out west. That's generally entertaining watching parking wars. Kinda quiet around here, not a lot of fussin. Y'all keep the shiny side up!

 

Actually parked tonight, and not rolling... In Barstow, CA at the Loves.

 

So... I woke up at 3:30 am.... one hr earlier than alarm... All because the guy to my right turned his engine on and I thought he was about to leave... But he sat there and sat there... all the trucks in front of us were blocking the exit... So, I went back to bed but couldn't sleep any more... THANKFULLY one "key" truck left and opened the passage and the guy to my right was able to leave at 4:30 am... So, I immediately moved to his spot which would be easier to leave...
Anyway... was able to leave that FJ at 5:45 am and arrived at receiver at 6 am... but had to park on the street... a narrow two way street with no shoulder... cause there were already 2 trucks in there and absolutely no place to park... DARN... these places that we go...
Receiver told me to park at an empty lot nearby and return within 2 hrs... Shoot... had to go 21 miles to get to the empty parking lot near the receiver... And this is where it was... at 7 am...




Now I'm at a Pilot in Oklahoma City... did a drop & hook at my co. terminal, got truck and trailer washed... Gotta have my meal now and rush to bed...

 

Can't really say I'm parked. If you call being in the CAT shop with top of motor having "overhead" done.
They r running a special. (Brake job, or overhead) get free oil change.

Did I mention 5 hrs for that tune up. He came in to the luxurious drivers lounge to tell me some bad news.

Just like Dr.'s.

The base plate is leaking, ohhhh. Its cheap $100. Now comes the labor. (Another 5hours). So. I'm here for the day and part of the night.

Been running. Haven't had time to take pics or post. This slowed me down, now I have lots of forum time. Lol

 

Sitting at a loves waiting on parts my front differential has major issues. Looks like a loves parking lot is gonna be my operating room

 

Hanging at the shipper in Jersey getting ready to shove off for Conway, AR. I may have scheduled this a bit close. Running the numbers with pretrips, fueling and drive time I figure to have about 15 minutes left on my 70 when I drop this.


Sometimes I REALLY miss paper

 

At the Love's in Tacoma again. The port is backed up worse than an indy truckstop toilet. Some of these guys have been in line on the street to get into Husky for 3-4 hours.

 

Delivered my load this morning in Tulsa, OK... and came back to my co. terminal for some repairs... chip and crack on windshield, replace fuel filter, check brake adjustment... and replace FREAKING PeopleNet unit that has been driving me CRAZY with problems with tap screen... I wish my co. had chosen QualCom instead... PeopleNet is "moronic"....
