Musta been a different San Jon. Or else I need to review the logs, or something. We are running super solo (or very nearly). To get our 70 hour times synced up, he's driving a couple of hours in the AM, then going off duty. I'm driving the rest of the day. Going around Flagstaff, we were often in ninth. Pulled eighth on a few downgrades to keep things cool. Like I said, we're running 100% legal. I'll try to double check the mile mark for where we were.
Anyway, we got to Laughlin around 6:00 NE time (the only time that has meaning to me any longer
) and have screwed around here for a bit. Tomorrow we can drop at Hershey in Redlands, then head... I don't know where to pick up a load heading for Salt Lake City. Because of the timings involved, we'll be able to spend a few hours in Vegas. BTW, don't let them BS you at dispatch with a claim that they don't preplan loads anymore. Maybe it's just a trainer thing, but we've got one. A drop and hook pickup after a drop and hook delivery. Sweet. I'm being seriously spoiled by the load availability. It seems that trainers get first crack at loads, so that's another bonus to training.
So tonight I'm in Laughlin. First time there, so I got my prime rib buffet comped. And the video poker machines must be loose for newbies, as I'm up $50 the first time being in a casino.
jiptwoo, we weren't trying to duck a scale. Our load is 100% legal on all axles and we've got a prepass. That's just where we ran out of steam for the night.
