    At the tank wash in Conley GA , then hammer down in my 68mph truck lol to home , I like these 2 day runs , driving a day cab has advantages , but finding a hotel with 1 hour on 14 and 50 min on 11 can suck .

    I use to love the day that all I had to do was wake up and drive as far as I could that day and park. I still like them but only 1, not 2 consecutive anymore. For some reason I rather break the day up with a offload or unload even though I will generally make less for the day. I got something going on with my neck and shoulder and I feel every bump and every surge times a million last few times I been out.

    I just try and look for a hotel near the delivery , I am starting to get repeat loads , going to the same places . Two overnight trips a week makes decent money , I can live with that . It's all good till others think I get the easy loads and want to break up my system lol

    So you know you'll be out then
    I'm only out if theres a problem at the customer and or traffic accidents or truck breaks down.
    About a hour out from my delivery I start taking notes on hotels with big lots, just in case

    Got to the house around 9 AM Friday after dropping my load at the plant and pulling an empty back to the yard. Off today then heading to N Chicago with an empty dry bulk trailer Sunday morning. Got an 8:00 AM appointment Monday where I will swap my trailer for a loaded one and head right back. Nice thing about this load is no schedule on the delivery end. They let us drop weigh the trailer and leave the paperwork on the desk. Should get home Tuesday evening.

    After 3 straight trips to Plaquemine I am looking forward to a little mountain driving and avoiding Harvey.
