Roehl Driver Check In Continued

They got a Mills Fleet Farm, and Menards in town. Can get what you need there. Cold is not that bad, once you art used to it. At least it seems to be warming sone, but that often means bigger snow storms. Have fun.

 

Mega Stop just south of Minneapolis on I-35. Have an early AM delivery in the city tomorrow. Should be interesting. Checked out the place on google earth and yikes. Hate those tight indoor docks.

 

Just ordered my first Truck GPS. A Garmin Dezl 560. Hope it makes routing a tad easier, when I get into a pinch. Been operating on via points from Roehl entered into a Nuvi. Which is fine, until you come to a mistake or get out of route. Then it's no holds bar, lol... ok it's pull over and find all info you can, before proceeding further.

 

Stopped for the night south of Mechanicsburg, PA on I-83 at rest area.

Exhausting evening. To tired to talk about it.

 

Shipper in York, PA. Waiting for their truck to show up so they can load me. I'll put in for detention and see what happens. Sometimes it works.

 

Still in this dock in Minneapolis. Tell you what, if you ever end up at a cons on 3rd St. run the other way. Worst dock I've seen yet. If I had a smart phone I'd post a picture. Two trucks ahead of me, one guy tried 20 times and finally gave up and left. We got the other guy in with a lot of help. Huge snow banks everywhere make is nearly impossible. Picking up in Maple Grove after this and heading to upper Michigan..

 

I'm sitting at hon furniture right now. Been here since about 9 am for a 1500 pick up, th hey are now just over the two hour mark for being late. Got 1400 miles to drive by Friday ( easy run) then 4 stops, then home time. Just hope they finish soon, my bunk heater isn't heating anymore (only drove 30 miles today and the heater doesn't work great after 5 or 6 hours of use)

 

Small BP truck stop on US151 about 20 miles from Dubuque. Heading back to the U.P.

 

South of Dubuque?

 

Sittin at home instead of behind the wheel of my truck. After spending a weekend at home I go to pick up my trailer and head to Gary with a relay, but nope. Tractor wouldn't make any power to pull the load. After a couple hours on the phone with Maint. a wrecker was called to tow the truck to the Freightliner Dealer in Oak Creek. So, now I sit waiting and hoping that I don't see anymore problems for awhile.
