Well finally started on my own today. Started out taking a load outa marshfield down to oak creek. Then had to dead head to green bay for a load an im at a lil ma an pa truck stop along us 2 in Michigan. Headed to transverse city mi for first stop. But now time for bed. Its been a long day. Stay safe everyone

 

Well... Bout to be out and about. Gonna go hook her up and go on my way. Time to finish my load from Ellenwood. Got to get down to West Palm Beach for a delivery today and then Miami for Friday delivery. Pretty relaxed drive down there. Not sure where to shutdown. My dad said to hit the turnpike and go to a service plaza. So probs gonna do that! I've enjoy my hometime, glad I got to spend Christmas with the family!

 

Headed up to markle, Indiana. Haven't left yet but the weather is like 25*F right now. Not looking forward to that

 

Good luck with your new adventure Double D.

 

Picking up in palatka GP going to Pennington Al for the 29th but ill drop for 28th and hope to get a run to last me til after New Years. Holiday bonus or whatever didn't get anything which is a joke, what's left of my vacation they won't let me take. Ill be following drty soon to a new adventure.

 

Well didnt even make it to the drop yard. My dash gauges stopped working, apparently from a leak in my windshield which caused the gauges to fry. So $900 at freightliner, $550 + shipping from Roehl. Freightliner in Jacksonville has the part in stock. So does Roehl. Well, needless to say I went with Roehl which was a good decision because they saved me even more by not ordering trim and nailed it down to a really good price. Really great to lease on for a company with decent buying power. Saved me a fortune in cost. Also the dealership would of charged me a arm n a leg, I knew a different shop who's labor rate is 27$ cheaper a hour so I went there.

 

This is the kind of thing that is irritating. Drop the trailer in Pittsburg because a planner most likely flippin panicked. Now I'm stuck bobtail with the closest thing a rest stop on PA Pike no one answering phone. Can't stay here overnight WTF! I could have delivered to Waukesha tomorrow. Now I end up with a 1000+ load as under 500.
