    Just be forwarned Passport, expecting a 60% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow and 80% on Thursday along southwest Florida.

    And TS Dolly has formed in the Gulf, Predicted path currently headed to Mexico. Chances are good that US will not see anything major form this storm. May just get some rain in southern TX.

    Was gonna do laundry and get a shower but thats no way to spend my birthday. Got a shower yesterday andthe previous two days and still have two pair of underwear, yes, clean. I am good. Had duplicated the post below, so edited this one out. No shower credits here at Loves anyway though could have PC'd 8 miles south to a Pilot in Kannapolis.

    21 miles away and three hours until my appointment. I think I am picking up candy from Bestsweet in Mooresville NC going to DG Warehouse in Ardmore OK, but t-calling in West Memphis at the J tomorrow night. I did not washout the trailer because my dispatch did not indicate to, but I swept it and got the larger wood chunks oand nails out of there. Hope it suffices.
    Hometime on Saturday. I will say this: TransAm has gotten me home when I have asked for it maybe once I was a day late and really of no consequence. Maybe I should be annointed the Hometime King since I get home every 12-14 days or maybe that goes to the driver that gets home every week with drivebys. Wish TA had a better medical plan, but being such a transitional company, they figure, why?? Deuces.

    Our friend Panhandle Flash is doing a good deed. The driver that was supposed to take the load to NYC had a family emergency and needed to get home.

    jaso, there is an accident on I 70 eastbound about mm147 .....I haven't looked at a map and don't know if that will affect you or if you are already thru there or not.

    Cloudy, dreary and the skies are rumbling in southwest Missouri right now. At least it has cooled the temperature down and is a welcome relief from the 104 degree temps we had last week.
     
    gntorres61, jaso36 and Panhandle flash Thank this.

    Technically you're supposed to wash out/have a clean trailer between every load. TransAm will always pay for it. There are just certain times and places where you can get away with just a swept out or even just picked up trailer as long as there's no blood.

    BTW, did any of you hear about it snowing Sunday in Wyoming (near De Bois) and in Alaska? I saw a post with pics on Facebook about it! Like, how wild is that?! Hometime, according to the weather charts you posted last week, we are in for an interesting winter.
     
    Panhandle flash and HometimeQueen Thank this.

    Thanks Honeybadger, no blood no harm no foul. If there had been I would have gotten it washed out in Charlotte with the free time I had this morning. But none present. Figured I'd save the company a buck or two. I posed the question a few trips ago to my DM and she left it to my discretion. Of course any mention on the dispatch notes and I don't hesitate to get it washed out. Just some wood chips dust and a little dirt but with the load on pallets, should be fine. THANK YOU KRIS.
