Parked Here for the Night

Hey.... Y'all make sure you have your 2015 IFTA sticker on your truck... Parked at a dock in TX... being loaded....

 

IFTA has a grace period through February to affix your new decal. Still need to pay the fee though...


I'm at my least favorite stop: Loves in Fife, WA. Managed to get one of the ~5 or so spaces that *shouldn't* cost me a hood or leave me blocked in. We'll see though...

 

We don't have ours yet so I still have my 2014 sticker. Do have my prepass though. A hand me down from truck 197.

The diagonal spots, right?

 

Parked at the Jam Mart in Ft. Smith, AR. Dropped my trailer at Planters down the street. The load won't be ready until 2000 hrs local time. I'll be able to pencil in an 8 hour sleeper break by the time I'm done otherwise my 14 ends at 2015 local. May just squeeze in here after I pick it up and depart for Hagerstown, MD (yes TruckDuo, that Hagerstown! ) in the AM.

For once I'm glad I didn't get a load back home. Fought ice for two days to get to Tulsa. No me digas!!!

 

On my way to Syracuse. Then from there to Louisville. Nice paying loads with open windows. Just how I like it

 

That's why I saw sooo many trucks with no 2015 decals today... Didn't know about the grace period...

 

After loaded in TX came back to same TA in AR where I was 2 nights ago... Will need to have a small leak fixed on trailer tire in the morning... And then, will stop at WM for groceries and will push to be at a Pilot in TN where I can take a shower and find a nice parking spot before my working hrs end... will have only about 6:30 hrs to drive....

 

Plenty of parking still at the Jam Mart aka Short Stop so I'm camping out here and officially letting my 14 run down.

 

Seems a lot of drivers are at home this weekend... Most truck stops I saw today seemed much less congested than usual...
