Freight Relocators driver check call. Check in early and often!

I guess I find the daytime traffic more irritating than the darkness.

As long as I wear my glasses I do fine.

My headlights are much brighter too since they redid the assembly because they didn't have the Wierd bulbs that kept burning out.

Now I just got standard headlights and they are much better than the goofy ones it originally had.
I may end up eating crow here shortly. I got so pissed at stupidity today that I'm probably gonna get new headlights sooner rather than later and switch to nights.
 
Projectors are a game changer. I feel like I'm driving while blind without them.




Silt, CO having breakfast. Ran up the mountain last night to avoid likely chain laws this morning, ran out of hours on Vail Pass. Not a preferred spot to sleep, but it beat throwing iron.

On to Rifle to unload, then back to Mile High.

I've been trying to find an upgrade for my truck but nobody seems to make one. Hopefully just replacing the crusty originals with new clear ones will be adequate.
 
Just getting up man that Fly J pizza gave me horrible heartburn.

I must've ate a handful of Tums.

Awhile back when Coast 2 Coast was still on I went inside bought some Pepcid Ac.

Like $7 for 4 tablets what a rip off but afew of em finally did the trick.

Maybe it was the Pepperoni they put alot on there.

Next time just plain ole cheese.

I am gonna get my coffee and get rolling here shortly.

Still about 2/3 hours to go but it's just a yard drop no appointment.
 
I'll be Damned.

Daylight and the fuel line ain't a complete cluster F-word yet.

That's not something ya see very often.

I'm gonna get some Fly J discount fuel today make the company happy.


So 114 gallons here and like 94 gallons at Nitro WV Pee-Lot.

There I got the discount this week so they won't have to call me and complain about it

Just called dispatch I guess there 12 trucks sitting up there already and it's been slow this morning.

If would've known that I would have stayed in Williams and bought a 12 pack of beer and turned a 34.

Oh well guess I'll take a nap bring it in later.
 
Heading out to Rochelle tomorrow afternoon to sit on my hands all the next day.

Back home with racks eventually. Leave out Monday for Maine drop and go on Wednesday then almost certainly go into Quebec for some pile of shit back into Ontario that will be Hell on both ends.

Yee haw.

Just got my next dispatch there's a loaded at Post going to Salt Lake City.

I'll get up about Midnight and head out.
 
Unloaded my monsters at Coca Cola in Muskogee a day early. Avoid the long FCFS line tomorrow morning, and can fuel up and go home in the morning from the peelot.
 
Just about woke gonna slam another Mt Dew smoke another cigarrette then hook my empty then do my pretrip and off to Northfield.
 
Just pulled into the Blue line gonna get me some subs.

Think I'm nap on the shoulder of an exit ramp though just a smoky haze of exhaust like a real oil burner or something and I can hear the APU a truck over and its still that freaking loud.

"Update the JBS Plant Smell has overtaken the exhaust the breeze must've shifted while I was inside the store."

I should fuel here to I'm down about a 1/3 of a tank and they actually still give you a free coffee too.

Not like the Pee Lot or TA make you use point for that swill.

I buy the store brand in a big can on sale at home and make way better coffee than that crap they pass off as "gourmet"

Heck Pee-Lot even packages it for home like mcdonald's.

Yeah I guess at home some guys miss the Pee-Lot so much they need a reminder by making their coffee.

Pit stop at the 90 Holiday in mitchell.

Ya still got the South Pass to deal with but ya can't have it all.

Gonna aim for Murdo or Box Elder because I got PFJ shower credits

Been about 4 days and that stench I thought was my pee bottle is actually emminating from me

And I could do laundry and sit in the casino have afew drinks and see what $20 turns up in a machine.

Home. Or, at least at the truck stop close to home. That’s as close as my work vehicle gets to my personal life.
 
Went over the hill yesterday. 4 hours out, 8 hours to come back. Chained up from Vail into Denver. CSP needs to start writing no-chain tickets, far too many guys ignoring the chain law. And of course, mostly guys who don't belong up there. Several were on the cb: "I don't need chains, I've got 40k in the box!"

The result of that was sitting 2 solid hours at the base of Floyd Hill while they pulled barefoot trucks who'd spun out to the top. Clear Creek Canyon was the alternate route until another barefoot moron jackknifed and spilled FUBAR all over that option.

It was slick enough I spun (with chains) all the way up. 3 inches of soft, wet, gray ice, plus the fresh snow that fell while the road was blocked. And spinning is SO good for chains!

Which is why I'm sitting at the tire shop getting a valve stem replaced. At least I was off the steep section when it gave up the ghost. Cheap import garbage, anyways. I was considering auto chains for the new truck, this last bout of wet/snow/ice/wet/ad nauseum pretty much sealed the deal.
 
Off to Joplin on Monday afternoon to pick up a load of protein shakes and headed to Tracy, CA. Delivering out there early Friday, Morning.
 
Getting ready to go.

Slept on and off didn't get a shower or laundry done so I try to get it somewhere today .

I gotta drive while I can.

Got next dispatch going to Lathrop California after this.
 
Just waking up but will take shower before I go .

Would've done it sooner but is Saturday and I wasn't gonna wait half the day.

After afew coffees everybody else should be asleep ...no waiting

Gosh I love you Solar powered folks.

After awhile I have the road all to myself too.
