    So im hanging out at the customer now in Fremont OH, waiting pick up my next load on my why to Aurora CO.

    Weather been pounding the I 80 behind me as i came over here. It looks like from what i can tell Wyoming I80 been shut down last 2 days. Whoa!

    Miles this month looking pretty good im almost @ 6000 for Feburary. Last month i took off 7 days and still hit the 10,000 miles so i got my safety bonus yesterday. Cool!

    There is talk of a new facility coming. Currently they do have 1 washer, dryer and a shower in the mens locker room. Not much of a lounge. Company is growing quickly so hopefully soon they will expand. FYI there's a SAPP Brothers next door and flyn J about 2 miles away.

    In Aurora CO now. Finished delivery yesterday. No preplanned load, it's Monday and I'm in Denver. Hmmm not likely there's going to be a load for me right away. Usually from here they'll send ya into Salt Lake. We will see what happens. For now just kicking back and maybe get a little shopping done.

    Truck on..

    Got my orientation email and plane ticket last week. Leaving from Fargo after turning my truck in at my other company. Nervous and excited at the same time. Seems like I am seeing Shipex trucks all over.
