My first run was 250 miles from Dallas to Tulsa.
I unloaded this morning and waited. And waited. For 2 hours I waited. I called my FM. My suspicions were right... he wanted a good load for me. I deadhead for 350 miles to Dodge City Kansas. Then the fun begins- meat going to Portland Maine. Overall the run is just shy of 2200 miles. I'll have it there by Tuesday morning if weather permits. What weather? Glad you asked.... 5 to 8 inches by morning just west of Wichita. In all I am pretty pleased. I am on track to get almost 3000 miles this week.

Let's see... where did I leave off?
The weather didn't permit. There was snow in PA. I did get an ontime delivery Wednesday morning. I am on a new load now. Here are the runs I have done so far: 4/12 Garland TX to 4/13 Tulsa OK 267 miles 4/13 Dodge City OK to 4/18 Auburn ME 2201 miles 4/13 Auburn ME to 4/20 Versailles KY 1095 miles I am on a run from Indiana to Massachusetts 1186 miles due in Mass on 4/23 at 3am. They seem to keep me rolling unlike England, and I haven's sat for more than an hour without a new load. |
