    Well today was lots of fun.. the routing software Central uses decided I needed to take the scenic route to my pickup. I think I took the same route the green mountian boys took with those revolutionary cannons.. cool thing I got to see Mt. Washington..

    Sitting in a Walmart parking lot doing my 10 in Potsdam, NY. If I didn't go the scenic route I could been loaded.

    Good thing is I get paid loaded or unloaded... and I got a blu-ray player.. life is good.:biggrin_25523:

    Got to love it. 1hr 3 minutes from my drop.. 1 hr 1 min. of drive time available. When I left this morning I had 2.5 hours to spare, than I went through the Virginia Mountains hauling 40K in the box.

    One more thing to add to the "what it takes to be a successful trucker" list.

    I downloaded Copilot*Live (Trucks) for my droid. what a difference it made over the normal droid navigation. Most expensive droid app I ever bought at $149.00, but it was a whole lot cheaper than buying a separate GPS.

    I just love the 80 degs. it is here in Georgia even if I am sitting at a Rest Area..
     
    Gears and Trilleth Thank this.

    Well sooner or later it had to happen.. the idle control system on my truck is failing.. just keeps idling.. not bad, but if I over idle I am going to get charged, so time to get fixed..

    Worse part I need to go to a dealer to get the work done..

    I know nobody really cares, but till this icon sysytem is fixed I will be sleeping in my truck naked with the side winders open... It is warm here in GA.

    Sure glad I am in a terminal and not a TS. :biggrin_25523:

    Well here's a downside to trucking...

    I am sitting at a Cummins repair shop getting my truck fixed.. the filter regen and the icon are just plain broke...
