Well, this is going to be tight! I am unloading as I type. I am going to spend the night here. I load 8 miles away at 0900. (I'm still in Portland OR.) I will then be going to MD 2700+ miles. to unload on 2-28.
However this is where is gets tricky; I have to be back in Ca. no later than 3-4 to renew my CDL. CA. DMV only gave me a 60 interm and not a 90 day.
So after I drop, that only gives me 4 days to get back to CA. -

Look over the time on that run. If the receiver leaves you hanging, you could end up short on time to get back. Make sure you CYA. -
4 days=
5 shifts of 540 miles or so.........
leaves plenty of time to wash and wax that W !!!! -
It takes a lot of practice to execute a move like that on the first shot.wulfman75 Thanks this. -
I just have to get there to pick it up now. I am in OR. and the roads are iced up and I am going to spend the night here and is If I can make it in to SLC tomorrow... I am only 8 hours out....Wedge Thanks this. -
WOW - what a trip
we have gone 4500 miles since we started moving on the 17th... and I'm proud to say I've done quite a few of those miles
we are on our way to Tolleson AZ with our load from WI (Hillshire Farms - man does that place smell good!!) Then heading to Yuma for a 'produce' load and heading back up to IL. I still hunt around for the gears - but the trainer is all 'you are doing great'... good to hear, but I get frustrated ... yeah I know - it will come - and practice, practice, practice
Driving today though - heading the other way in New Mexico - I was amazed at just how beautiful this country is. I was wishing I was seeing it for the first time w/Klingon - and not 'Tony'... although he was sleeping so I guess I was seeing it on my own... I can't wait to share it w/Klingon though... that and with the camera handy
Well off to do some reading and trying to catch up on everyones thread... I haven't had much time to be on line... I've been having withdrawls - LOL -
Congrat LadyK. It sounds like you and Klingon are both doing really good. It also sounds like you've got a good trainer. After all the horror stories you hear about trainers it's refreshing to hear when people get good ones! Keep up the good work and remember the shifting will be easier in time, like you said, practice practice practice!
