    Where are you now?

    I'm gonna head to Space Age or might try the Hook. I'm out of hours,..been a long day for me. Had a level 2 this morning (No Violations,.. muhaha), road going into delivery was closed,.. had to detour down a 4x4 obstacle course and then wait 2 hours to get unloaded. Been sitting at shipper since 2:30,.. didnt get loaded and bills till almost 7:30. I was whooped,.. took a nap here at side of shippers yard. Smells like someone whizzed on my tire. I need to get outta here. Too tired to fudge log and hit road. Dont have to be in Colorado till Monday and my reload isnt till 3pm 30 mins from where I'm delivering this pipe. I have plenty of time. Besides,.. I dont want to head up that Cabbage this late at night.

    I headed out Sat morning for Colorado Springs. Almost to Cheyenne right now. Need to get unloaded tomorrow morning. Picking up 2 street sweepers in Denver heading back to Idaho.

    Hope the weather holds out. I gotta get out of this area.. my truck is a lush in this area. Need to get midwest or back down south if I can make it work.

    Got one for ya Snowwy.

    West Virginia,.. 119.

    To be fair,.. I've never been here before with Sprint,.. so I cant say Verizon is better or worse then anyone else.

    But dang it man,.. I was trying to have a conversation with my wife and the call was dropped 3 times. Really aggravating. So US 119,.. WV,.. heading to Pikeville Ky,.. sucky area if you have Verizon.
