Starting at Magnum 10/8/2012

Laying in my bunk in a rest area south of MPS after a pretty good.day. Trip to NJ got cancelled but I will still get my BBQ.

I hate typing on a phone.

 

I have 5 GB/mo. I need to give tethering my computer a try.

Was in Joplin last night and Carl's Corner, TX tonight. Planned on going a bit further but this ended up working a bit better.

 

Made it to Yoakum yesterday but had no internet. Unloaded this morning and now sitting at ThermoKing in San Antonio getting the APU fixed. Pick up in China Grove tomorrow afternoon and deliver in Chicago Thursday at 7:00 am. I'm going to try to move it to 10:00 so I can do a split sleeper, otherwise I'm driving all night Wednesday to just get there in time but will have no hours left to leave.

 

Shipper was in no hurry to load is plus with SA and Austin traffic there was no way we could make our delivery so we had to team it last night. I can't imagine doing that every day. Trying to sleep last night across AR on 40 was not very productive. Hard to sleep when you are bouncing and your teeth are rattling.

South of Chicago tonight then up to MPS for a Friday morning drop, load i

 

Dang phone.

in Chaska and then off to NJ and return.

 

What I ment by dang phone is I started typing that message, got a phone call and then couldn't continue the message so had to post what I had and then type the rest in the next message.

Drove 10.5 hours yesterday at an average of 58.7 including stopping to try and fix the trailer ABS light. 616 miles at 62 mph. Not a bad day's work. Now sitting at the TA at exit 4 in NJ for a short run to our 7:00 am delivery in South Plainfield and then pick up in Elizabeth for a return to Fargo. Will end up with 6056 miles for my first two weeks, including the day we had to wait for a load in SA.
