Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Update time. Not getting that AZ load turned out to be a blessing. The load to Lebanon delivered before payroll cutoff, so that put me over 3000 for the 1st time since before Easter. I even had enough time to get to the Love's up by Anderson, IN before the solar powered drivers shut down for the day (which was only 10 min from my next shipper). Picked up my load at the Interstate cold storag on the other side of the Nestle plant. Managed to make it to the Hunt yard yesterday. Will be in Wamsutter tonight, and at the T/A across from the Oregon POE tomorrow, where I'll do a 34. My load doesn't drop in Grandview until the 5th, so it won't be the greatest check next week, but I'll be starting out June with 2200 miles and a fresh clock. And now that I have gotten the ball rolling, as far as longer miles, hopefully they can find something out of there to keep it going.

 

I was thinking apples or cherries out of Selah (if they have any left to ship this time of year). Or taters out of either Moses Lake or Pasco. I didn't realize we had a new account out of there...I will have a reset in, so they can put me on a corner to corner load (WA to GA or FL) if they want to.

 

I ended up not making it to Wamsutter. There was about a 5 mile backup before Elk for construction. Took an extra 40 or so minutes which put me about 10 minutes short on my 11 to make Wamsutter, so I stopped at the J here in Rawlins. Either way, I have to do a 34. I am still gonna try to make Huntington, OR tomorrow.

It seems that the useless safety message department is working overtime. The Peoplenet had the same stupid warning about tires for every scale between Davenport and North Platte. Sure wish we could prove to Management how unnecessary that kind of a message really is. But if they stopped, someone sitting behind a desk would have to find another position.
