I did have trouble sleeping though. And driving solo is much less hectic. I haven't decided if I'll do it again next week.

We left yesterday @ 4:00. He drove about an hour, more or less just to talk since we had never met. The trip is a little over 2100 miles so I drove 10 hrs , he drove 10 etc.. My second leg included Lookout & 4th of July. Lookout was just after sunrise so a few wet spots but mostly clear. It was a fairly light load so made it up and down in 9th. With the jake I never touched the brakes. Sweet! He drove from Spokane in so he could show me where the drops are. This is his hometime. Tomorrow I'll deliver in Woodinville, Renton & Auburn. Then drop the empty in Fife and go off duty ( layover pay) until 20:00 Friday. Pickup the load, pickup Mike and head back to Illinois.I did have trouble sleeping though.

I never delivered (or picked up) in Woodinville. Renton and Auburn shouldn't be too bad. The places I went to in Renton were actually designed for trucks. Even had places where we could park overnight and wait for morning to get unloaded or loaded.
Got your feet wet. If you stop doing it now, you're going to miss going out that way.
