    Now I am here... in AZ...

    [​IMG]

    I think this used to be a Pilot.... but not any more... Did my groceries, some cooking in the truck and will leave early in the morning...
    Heading to CA... deliver on Monday, then, reload nearby, drop load at co. warehouse in Ontario, grab empty, then go back to same shipper, reload and head to IN...

    Load assignment shows 2180 miles loaded... that is if I go thru NV, UT, CO, NE, IA, etc. Not sure I want to do that... :biggrin_25512: Gotta check the weather report for next week... I was planning on going thru AZ, NM, TX, OK, MO, IL, etc. But that will add about 50 more miles... Shall see...

    50 Miles is a drop in the bucket on that long of a trip. Course I am biased to I40, 35 and 44 they usually bring me home

    I noticed sooooo much trash in this truck parking lot specially next to the Walmart fence... :biggrin_2552:

    I haven't been here in a very looong time... Now it's all dark... I mean, REALLY DARK... no light in this parking lot... I am glad this place is not congested... Well... at least not yet... I'll keep my running lights on all night... just in case...

    Well... I try to save miles, if I can... anything between 10 and 20 extra miles is still "ok"... Above that, I may discuss route with dispatcher... If I need to run extra miles for a good reason, they pay the extra miles. :yes2557:
