    okie dokie. Starting off the week with a 550 mile run to Wi. Reedsburg to be exact. Another 110 to go to delivery. Got a later start this morning because it was a live load appt ay 1100. Only took em an hour to get me loaded.

    This truck runs well enough but it has about 75K more miles on it than the other one. Only 10K in the box at the moment, so I dont know for sure yet how she pulls with real weight.

    Otherwise its the same year and model truck. Same color too.

    of course. It helps me to spot the truck!!! I dont need to look at the side for the truck # , just look for the plate in the drivers window.

    yep. from 80 in In to 294 to 290 to 90. Crazy shit. around the 30-35 mile marker on 90, I look on the south side of the freeway and see a pair of fucking CAMELS on this guys farm wandering the yard with the horses!!!! WTF??!?!?!!?!?!

    Its funny, my company wont pay for the tolls in Ohio on 80 or the tolls in Indiana on 80 plus a few others. Instead they would route on US30 across NWish Ohio and across In. No thanks. I added about 30 miles running 70 to 65 to 80. ALL interstate at 65.Well 61 for my trucks.

    Oh I stopped by alright. Went to the main reception and asked for 81. It took a minute for the realization to kick in, but then they said your were in the basement taking a "break" from your elevator races. That you asked NOT to be disturbed. dejectedly I left.

    landslide!!!!!!!! Thats why the SB I75 is closed. A fucking landslide took out the southbound lanes. Only 1 northbound lane is open. Have some thinking to do. Do I sit through the potential slow down OR take a much shorter than today detour. HMMMM.

    no it wasnt. Narrow two lane switchback roads with some drop offs in a few places. thank god for those rumble strips n the side of the road at the berm. I could hear the trailer tires on em, so I would know it was still on the road. was paying all attention to the road of front of me.
