    The 8am load is ready, but will do a 34 hour reset and hope the weight is ok. We will see tomorrow. Normally don't get loads out of pork plants this early. Have a good weekend and stay safe.

    Yes sir we sure do. Depending on where you live. Not sure if they hire down deep in Florida or 2 far up in the North East. They are pretty strick on Sleep Apnea testing, but if you have a bmi of lower then 35 give them a call. Or you can run through the hoops.

    Just pulled the brakes 1200 more miles to go to pay dirt. Still have 2 hours left on the clock, but have been seeing a bunch of truck stops filled to the max and so no pushing it, and just in case I'm awake in 8 hours I can drive that last 2 and will have a better chance of parking down the road. You guys be cool on your stool. This Old timer is bout to cut some logs. Yeee hawww.

    Well seems like I should of kept driving for awhile so that stupid day light savings wouldn't bite me in the butt. I think I should of been rolling by now. This is what happens on E logs when day light savings takes place. Image54.jpg Will be hitting the road in about 30 mins or so and see where we end up. Have a good weekend.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    A real time update. Stopped to get a bite to eat and was pre planned for my load picking up Tuesday after delivery in Sacramento 18 miles empty going to Corona Ca, 426 loaded for a Wednesday morning delivery. So that should be me over 3,000 miles for the week. Will make up for my I think 22 or 2300 miles last week. Ok back on the road fries getting cold.
