Hurricane Mills, Tn

Had a long day today that began at 5am--

with only a 4 hr sleep last night & caught a 2.75 hr nap after relaying this morning-

went to bed at 10pm last night- planning on rolling out this morning a 5pm.

at 1am I was awoke by noise from living room-- figured it was Mrs getting home from work( Wal-Mart 3-12 shift).....staggered into the living room to find my 19 year old( still sponging off Mom & Dad) with 6-7 other teenage(adult) guys setting on the floor 3 inches from the 52' TV playing some 'shoot 'em XBOX game.

went back to bed-- then again (after Mrs) got home-- had to go back out and Yell at them all the Clear the Frack OUT!

 

Heck, I'm 35 and still sponging (of course, my ex-wife has assisted me greatly in my need to appeal to my parents).

Pilot in Bloomington, IN. If it weren't for dire need of a shower, I don't think I'd be one of those idiots parallel parked over on the side (and yes, I left enough room for the properly parked trucks to pull out).

 

Bloomington? there's a pilot way out there in the woods now?

I thought you were on your way to Missouri?

Tomorrow is Friday-- how's your week's miles been?- Last Friday- whatever you final by tomorrow night?

 

Oops, meant Bloomington, IL.

Yup, down to KC, MO tomorrow.

Miles lousy this week. That awful, awful run from DE to IN that took an extra day, and then this load. But since my 'week' didn't even start until Monday night/Tuesday AM, it's hard to count it right. If I can get the trips Transflowed, I think it's about 1200 miles.

 

yeah, I've been home too all week until this morning... I won't get to transflow squat by friday...

there's still several miles between Bloomington, IL and KC, Mo-- then you got to get heading back out of KC to a Love's or Pilot by midnite--- good luck

what time do you deliver that tomorrow? you gonna be pulling a all-niter?

 

Out of hours. Getting up early and slogging along until I unload the sucker. Busted my butt today and still got hardly any miles covered (thank you 55 mph limit, crappy back roads, and Chicago area construction)

 

I live here in the woods of Bloomington, Indiana....and yes Chicago construction sucks...especially if you have to get to Milwaukee...

 

Last time I checked, Sacramento was west of Colorado, but for some reason I'm heading south and I'm outside of Las Cruces. I'm delivering my load of Beer in the morning and then I'll probably sit around for a day or so (seems like that's the norm here) and maybe make it home by next week. Our log book cover page says " ...We will set high standards for ourselves and work as a TEAM" I'm doing my part, now get me home!!!

 

chilling here at the terminal in otay mesa, california. gonna go hang out with some friends and relatives while i'm here. might even get a tat while i'm down here.

 

You got that right....They arent messin' around this season. Went to up through Chicago about 4am couple days ago, figured I-94 would be good running that early...Heck NO!!! Thats when the lanes are shut down BIG time. No backups, but once I was north of the city (I think thats the Edens) 3 lanes blocked running in the right lane and shoulder lane all the way to where it becomes a toll road again, then more construction and shut down lanes to the state line. And you got the early morning local BBR's running highspeed in the skinny lanes ignoring the posted signs keeping all trucks in the left lane. 294 is just as messed up. Especially Ohara and Touhy area. Chicago, and ChicagoLand, is nuts.
BTW....heading up to Milwaukee again tomorrow morning.

Im in Femont/Angola Indiana, Petro2 tonite. I-69 and Toll road.
