naw, actually ive done somewhat of a three stopper around chicago and its suburbs with whitewave loads and they where pretty decent places.... but the first stop is in baltimore, than henrietta,ny which is an suburb of rochester, then gardner mass, then the last stop in Nashua, NH.... so it turned out to be 4 stops.. the only stop im really worried about is this baltimore.. seems tricky!

 

Good Lord, keep wearing out those Pete's Larry! Tim told me Sunday I'll be getting out of mine before I hit 500. I'm at 391 now. I tried to pitch to him that the better visibilty of the KW will prevent me from driving into more of those yellow poles lol

Speaking of, Cory put two new bumpers on my truck today! Turns out I did puncture the Peterbilt bumper in the foglight hole where I pushed in the deer bumper Not sure if I want to know what that bumper cost... But I'm happy to be driving with pride again in a [mostly] undamaged and freshly washed truck and trailer! Gotta keep those Jersey boys in their place when I get there! I got a Cloverleaf load to Elizabeth. Nice shipper, their live load was less painful than a Tyson drop and hook!

Saienga, I apologize if this was already asked. What is your real name? Let us know what truck you get in. Congrats on the new addition! I hope all goes well with you and your family. Welcome aboard.

 

Hawk, made sure you have plenty of fuel going into New England!

 

So I'm walking through the shop today...

Andy: Do you have a spinner on your steering wheel?

Me: Uhh, yep.

Andy: Well you don't anymore. I usually throw them away. It's sitting on my desk. They are dangerous; you have power steering, yadda yadda... Don't put it back on.

Me: Okay.

I figured he'd let me know if it wasn't kosher. I was right! Heh

 

Breakfast at 0730 at the Iowa 80! Goodnight!

 

That load to Elizabeth is pure gravy! They are pretty quick to unload also. Welcome to the fleet Saienga, I'm in 788 and just let us know what truck you're in. All I gotta say is if you want a smooth ride here be good about communication. Had a driver not call in yesterday when he was MT so I had to run down to Fremont to rescue a Tyson load going to Emporia. I wasn't really complaining though, got a chance to ride around the back roads and see how planting is coming along. If you're running the back roads this next week and a half or so watch out for farm machinery, planting season is in full swing now.

 

Good point Husker! I saw a tractor "hammerin down" at like 2145 last night over an I-80 overpass, and all afternoon on and crossing 60 and 75.

Can I park at Elizabeth? If not, I don't imagine I'll get a spot anywhere between there and home, so I'll just have to drive home on personal convence, right?

 

Hey fellas sitting here at Flyin J in indianapolis burning up my fuel bonus been hot as hell out here the last 2 days,I don't know what happened to my left coast run cuz I sure didn't get it,picked up in Chicago area going to
Sioux City then ran me to Sheldon for the safety meeting and then back to Dakota City for this load that delivers friday morning at food lion in Disputanta.@hawk I usually run midwest cause I leave on saturdays although that prolly won't happen this week,welcome to the family Saienga.

 

got you mushroom.... i just want to stay on my northeast #####...... i know the traffic patterns and know most of the roads so hell long as im doing this for the reminder of the summer they wont hear a peep out of me to go west!!

 

Brian, from what I hear from guys if you go past that gate to Pappetti's it is a horseshoe back there where you can park. I've never parked there myself so I can say for 100%, but I heard it from reliable sources. As far as I understand from talking to Tim & Mike we can only use line 5 to drive from a terminal to home or home to a terminal. May want to give them a jingle but that was my understanding the last time I had a pow wow with The Vogenator.
