    Haven't felt no shaking over here.

    Back to the West Coast grind. After I sit long enough to get the rest of my hours back, I'm to deadhead to LA to Unilever. Hate that place cause it's one way around building and all the trailer spots are blind side and tightly packed together.

    Taking that up to Portland Oregon, to the grocery outlet. First time getting a msg saying to not pay any lumber at a location at any cost and to call dispatch if they refuse to unload. They probably have lumper prepaid but the lumper service still tries to get some more.

    Good miles out here in the west. Last load as 1300 and this one will be 1300 as well.

    If carrot season is still going on, will probably get a preplan to pick up some in Washington and bring it back down to California.

    The last time I was at that Unilever it was a joke...all the parking spots were full, and there were trailers stacked 2 and 3 deep in the driveway in front of most of them.

    When I pick up there they usually send me to Hermiston, OR.

    I live right in between Redding and Eureka and we felt it pretty good.

    Yah, everytime I've been here, the load was going to that Walmart DC, with a load of carrots coming back down. First time going somewhere else and it's light. Just 12k in the box.

    They usually send me for apples or cherries out of Selah, or some sort of potato product out of Pasco.

    Everyone/everything come thru it o.k.? I've been thru a 5.0, I can only imagine what a 6.2 feels like.

    Wonder what I'll get. Thankfully that small grocery warehouse is not in the city but on the outskirts. 5am appointment, so should have no problem finding a place to park and no city traffic to really deal with.

    2700 mile week after I turn this in on Thursday.

    Would need 2900 miles every week for 52 weeks straight to join the top 50% of the fleet who are making over 100k/yr :(

    Wonder if they factored in the profit sharing to pad those numbers a bit?

    I think everything turned out ok. I’m pretty certain the epicenter was out in the ocean

    I've also picked up at a Lineage Logistics cold storage just west of Troutdale before which went to the Rockford, IL area(if I remember correctly)

    As for hitting $100k...I am guessing that is for the top per mile drivers or for people who go home once or twice a year. I had 129k miles on my anniversary year, and I will end in the middle $80k range (would have been higher, but butthead and the planners have been keeping my miles on a slow decline since the 1st quarter, so I doubt I will ever be in the 'top 50%', but the peasant class here is still not bad money.

    My ELD also works for any increment between 7-8… meaning a 7:20 sleeper only needs a 2:40 partner break….
