COMMENTS??

I left a comment on Darrel and Roberta'sblog. Looks like they're off to a good start. in time it gets adictive. The thing is, we don't always have time or the internet available to work on it.

I happen t have time right now because I'm sitting at our OC in Seville, OH...Doing my wash, and shopping walmart. I had to by a new broom, cause someone stole my other one.

Plan to catch up on paperwork as well. I was hoping to get my mainenance done on my truck, but the shop is booked till wednesday next.

Got 180 miles to go, tomorrow morning to Jamestown, NY...not knowing where too next.

WELCOME DARREL TO BLOGSVILLE

My friend Darrel just decided to create his own blog.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY

darrel, his wife and I turned in early last night @ Jack's truckstop in Cullem, LA. We left out early to deliver our loads at Whirlpool in Cleveland TN. About a 3 hr+ drive over hilly, winding roads. But we succeeded, later than we planned haveing forgoten about the time change west to east..We lost an hour. We got our next loads and parted ways. Them to the QUACKER STATE, me to the VOLUNTEER STATE. It's been raing all day rather steadily.

I got my load delivered, earlier than expected and dropped it at one of our dropyards in Clarkesville, TN.. Got another load for tomorrow, but chose to pick it up today. Going to get my ASSIGNED EMPTY in our dropyard, I found another driver hooked up to it headed for the road. He wasn't very happy when I told him he couldn't take it, to put it back so I could hook up to it.

While I was hooking up, he tried it with two more trailers and got stopped by other drivers as well. He finally called schneider to get a trailer assigned to him, and was told to wait for them to locate one. There's reasons for doing things right.

I then went to SPRINGFIELD, TN to pick up my load, taking it to Columbus, OH for an afternoon delivery tomorrow.

Am shut down at a truckstop at xt112 on I65 in TN. SMALL but a place to lay my head for the night.

LIKE A BAD PENNY

We keep running into each other. This mornig, My trucker friend DARREL, and his wife ROBERTA, met me at our West Memphis OC. His truck was in the shop. After delivering my load south of Memphis, I got another to pickup at WHIRLPOOL, going to CLEVELAND, TN. AS FAITH (no not the girl by the name of Faith) would have it, Darrel also got a load from whirlpool going to Cleveland. Now e're at a truckstop at Cullom, AL, had supper ad taking it easy. I had to apologize to him for the company..HAHA..

This truckstop at exit 304 on I65, is called JACK's. It's a Shell station, good food, small lounge and even a barbershop ("UNIVERSAL HAIR SALON and BARBER")..NICE PEOPLE.

About ready to go to bed, MORNING COMES EARLY.

BACK ON THE ROAD

Spent the weekend resting at home. Sandy had me pick up web card so I could get online whenever I wish. Got back on the road, picked up a trlr in PLANO, IL, A load in MT PROSPECT, il, and am headed to OLIVE BRANCH, MS. Should be there tomorrow about 10 A.M. Resting now at the BP truckstop at MARIO, IL. One of the better ones that I generally stop at. They have a great buffet at a seanior's price... barely $7 for all you can eat, including dessert and drink.

With this new card, I just may keep the blog up more often. TIME WILL TELL!!
