Not just another day
So today is mothers day. Yes, I was able to find time while on the road to say hello to mom. But the hard part was not getting up this morning saying hello and Happy Mothers day to Paula. And I know the kids felt the same. For them, it's been a hard last 7 …
Finally out of the East
Yes!!! I just finished a 2200-mile journey to Barstow CA. It sure was and is nice just to get away from the East. However, I still dislike CA. The drive from Alabama to CA was long and some parts pretty boring However the worst part was the wind. All the way from OK to CA …
It’s all about patience…sometimes
Well, I have not been anywhere today. I stayed in Jacksonville for a few extra hours just to get caught up on laundry and to eat. I planned to leave around 0900 or 1000 at the latest. Now it's 1600 and I'm still here. was told a drive was to bring a trailer to e …
What a week…
Well, the first week back after the tooth pulled and DOT exam has been extremely busy. I have traveled everywhere from TX to OK, KS, NE, MO, TN, GA, AL, and MS. Been away from many major cities with the exception of Atlanta, my least favorite place. TX in nothing new, straight up 35 through …
Still home…not by choice
Well, I've been home a week now. I only planned for a week. However, trying to get my DOT exam renewed has caused me some hiccups. Being a diabetic is not easy. And having a CDL makes it even harder. During my exam, my sugar was 145 so they wanted me to provide a current …
Finally some hometime
Well after 30+ days finally made it back to town for a few days off. I prefer to spend a month out at a time. This way I can take 4 days off rather than 2. But this hometime isn't all fun and games. I got to start by getting a tooth pulled. It's been …
Yup still stressed
So even the last few days I'm pretty sure my wife is speaking to me. Why you ask, well... The load I pickup in Dodge City KS was wrong, to begin with. They sent me the wrong load number, the right shipper. I wasted 2 hours looking for a load that did not exist. Well, …
Tough Week
Sorry I've been out of touch the last few days, but as the title suggest, it's been a rough week. It started las weekend in Dallas. Had an appt and dispatch tells me to show up early and they might honor it. Well, I sat there for 18 hours. Finally left for Logmount Co early …
East coast
Well, it's not surprise I'm no fan of the east coast. To many people, who are rude and self centered. But there are a few exceptions. yesterday I left the Flying J and traveled some back roads to I81. I was heading to Upstate PA. Unfortunately it was late at night so I was unable …
