    I don't know how we survived years ago with no motel features in a truck & having to use phones at the TS.

    Yeah... I'm a little concerned about The Sisters... Ive got to do a drop & hook in Ogden in the morning before heading for the barn.

    But on the plus side I did make it past Elk Mtn... I avoided it all togetjer and run US30 through Medicine Bow.

    Bobtailing eastbound I-80 into Reno "All Trucks Must Exit" @ mm4.
    Him: Going to give you a level 3.
    He checks the lights and wipers then comes to the door.
    Going to orientation for LS so only paper logs.
    Didn't have the days graph filled out. Let the guy know it would be a few before I could move my notes to the form and hand him a copy.
    Him: Show me what you got
    Me: (yellow pad of scribbles)
    Him: Where' you coming from
    Me: Stockton
    Him: You have your permit book in order?
    Me: Yes (handing it over)
    Him: (goes to his truck)
    Comes back with the permit book and completed report and hands it off.
    Him: Where did you start from, Sacramento?
    Me: No, Stockton.
    Him: S a c r a m e n t o ???
    Me: (one Mississippi, two Mississippi) Um yeah, Sacramento.
    Him: Good, then we don't have to do anything else
    Me: (like a dumb ###) Because?
    Him: (over his shoulder walking away and annoyed) 100 mi radius.
    Me: Just checking.
    Him: (turning back toward me) And you'll be back tonight, right?
    Me: Absolutely
    Him: Drive safe
    Level 3 changed to level 2 walk around.

    Right?? A good running truck , heat for the winter and cold for the summer, a decently comfy bed and im good to roll across the country.. I get depressed if i stay in truck all day and dont talk to nobody, especially after a bad day its nice to talk to a waitress or even a couple seconds with the cashier if theres nobody in line. Its the little things
