    Thanks but I was more than a little disappointed when it turned out to be a cloudless morning. Some cloud color and texture would have been great.

    I need to run out of hours in more scenic places so I can try to compete with your pictures.

    I could not drive OTR unless at a company that runs me coast to coast, and does probably 70% of miles west of the Mississippi. For me, the scenery and the 4 seasons is all that makes it worthwhile.

    Between trying to keep export file sizes manageable for users, and this forum site, the final published jpg photos at the smaller resolutions here are poor quality.

    Dropped a load in Norfolk, Nebraska. Directed to Schuyler, Nebraska for a load. Dropped trailer 24 hours before scheduled pickup time.

    Load is 625 miles, and 35 hours from pickup time to delivery appointment.

    So, despite having 19 hours on my 70, I'll be working in a 34 before rolling.

    It's really painful getting off the major freight lanes.

    Wintersville, oh. 1st load coming off of hometime was...... really bad. !0 hrs at shipper, overnight drive, then 5 hrs at wally world, once I finally got thru the gate. Brokers who don't understand blind BOL's, really shouldn't be in this business.

    I have a sneaking suspicion you dropped that trailer at Cargill. If so, good f'n luck. I know that game all too well.

    My 2 St. Louis stops went off without a hitch. I was worried because my second went to a particular grocery store chain conducive to the area and it's generally a NIGHTMARE. I figured on a Sunday it was either gonna be worse, or much worse. Turns out Sunday's is when they get all their J.I.T stuff in so it didn't take long at all. Motored down to Little Rock and delivered to a Mexican grocery store. I got there before them, and when they finally got there I asked them where their dock was. Only to get stared at blankly. After a few seconds of awkwardness I just popped open the doors right out front and they had at it. Went to go reload in Norman AR which is a treat to get to. Sitting in Salina, KS now I drop this Thursday morning in Denver.
