Real Time Trip Planning. Roll with Dino and others.

Made to Receiver 30 minutes early for my 1600 mountain time appointment. I like to be an hour or 2 early if I can, but the run didn't allow for that time. Sitting in dock now waiting for them to start unloading. It's frozen bricks of chicken guts and pieces that they use to make cat and dog food. I'm sure trailer is going to smell wonderful when finished.

They rescheduled all the the appointments for the Hyrum load to the 18th. The last one for Chester still has no appointment time but I'll call them myself and see about scheduling it for the 19th, because the 2nd stop like to take its sweet time to unload, and I don't feel like being in a rush trying to get out of NYC, because I'm sure the traffic will hurt my feelings. So far if I can get last stop off early Wednesday morning. That should give them some time to line up a load that will get me home Saturday night. First have to get those 3 stops off then I'll worry about the home time. Hoping load is ready once I get to Hyrum. So I can go ahead and head on East and see if I can't get to the Point(Hunts Point) early. To get a restart in as well as my orders in for my favorite Chinese food that they deliver right to the truck.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. We are back quiet until next time.

 

Thanks my friend. Load was ready to roll! So we are on our way to the East Coast.

 

Well made it to Council Bluffs IA still had 38 minutes left on the clock but wanted to get a bite to eat and wasn't sure there would be parking at the rest area or pilot down the road that I thought I could make it to. Also yesterday made it to Rawlins, Wyoming with 7 mins left on d clock. Here was my log for today. Have 1245 miles left and was trying to get as much of my 11 as I could so I would have some wiggle room if traffic is bad on Sunday evening pulling in to the Bronx.

Might even try to get the first 2 stops off Monday but still wait till Tuesday to finish up 34. Also when I did my empty call yesterday last stop did have an apt set and it was for 1700 on the 18th. So would be a plus if I can get first 2 stops off then get that last one off early Tuesday. We will see what happens. Think the first stop will be easier then the second to get off on Monday. Had a slow start to the week but will end up pretty nice.


Also 13th looks like I went over hours but it was hours carried over from the previous day. Kinda like those few minutes from early this morning.

 

Got a few miles into the Ohio state line. Made it to the first service plaza. Had 23 mins left and the next service plaza was 58 or so miles. So we parked her for the night. Still have 605 miles to go. Knocked out 638 miles today. Was raining most of the day so couldn't keep the cruise on. MPG suffered a little. Looks like I'll have to use the pedal tomorrow as well with all the rain. Still should be sitting at the (point) if the Lord will's between 6 and 7est. 14hr and 51 minutes left on the 70 so looking forward to not having to get up by an alarm. We back quiet until next time. Hope you are having a great weekend, and God bless.

 

Could of sworn I posted yesterday. But maybe not. Was able to get 1st stop off today. They have paperwork and will call if they will take off 2nd stop, but I don't think they will. Was complaining they didn't have any more room. So hopefully first thing in the morning they can take it off. Then off to the last stop.

 

Was able to get the second stop off. So that means I can get out of the city before the traffic gets bad, and hopefully get last stop off early and then pick up something and head back west..

 

Well made it to last stop. Got to the gate and the sign and the guard said they don't start receiving till 1500. So parked and waiting with the other 50 or so trucks here. Have a great day.

 

Was hoping to go West but I'm going South. Pre-plan for when I'm unloaded 802 loaded 114 empty

Pick up 12/18/12 11:00 Allentown,PA Millard
Deliver 12/20/12 21:00 McDonough, GA Millard

Said it was on a pre-loaded trailer. Probably won't be picking it up until 20:00. Haven't been there in awhile but thought we only had 1 drop trailer there. Hopefully its more now. Or I might have to pay a late charge. Last time I was down in McDonough they unloaded me a few hours early. So won't take my time getting down there. They also said the planners are looking for me a load that's either going to Oklahoma or Texas. I'm sure it will be Texas. Well we will see what happens. My wife was saying there's bad weather coming our way. So may throw a monkey wrench in our Holiday travels. So about to go to the weather channel.com and see what the weather will look like. Good day.

 

Well got out of last stop kinda late. Didn't arrive to Allentown till 2200. It was a drop and hook. So I Hooked and Booked. Thought I would scale out the load at the loves down the road. But the load was only 30,000. So we kept rolling until after midnight mountain time. Didn't have my Dew and Skittles so was not prepared for my travel and since I had been up most of the day. Fatigue set in around my usual time of 5 am even though I got the skittles and the dew when I stopped to transflo. So wan't able to make it to the truck stop I wanted. That was 60 more miles down the road. So I pulled over for a two hour power nap. Was actually going to be a 1 hour power nap but was kinda blocked in. So I waited another hour and people finally left. Got an Hour down the road now going to hit showers and get the rest of my 8 hour break. Then mossy on in the Mc Donough GA by tonight or early in the morning. Anyway I'm burning shut eye time. Ya'll have a good day now ya hear
