    Aaand, we're spending two extra days in beautiful Redmond OR. There's a snowstorm coming, and it's coming up from California as we would be going down into it. We'll see how things look on Thursday.

    Even though we were 14 hours late, thanks to time zone differences, we met the terms on the bol; must deliver Monday, 1/2/17. 2106 Pacific, to be precise [emoji41]

    Post #1000! Yeah, but I started commenting on this run in December. I'll talk about January when we take ourselves to sunny California tomorrow evening

    Stopped for the night on New Year's Eve at 2230 in Big Springs, NE. NE, Wyo, no problem. Utah? Problem. Got 15 miles past Ogden, snowstorm. They don't treat the roads at night, I guess. Time to get going soon; it'll get there when it gets there. I am not sliding off the road again!

    Juju: you be careful out there missy! As for us, we asked the Lord for a run, and for our sins He gave us one. PA to Oregon, Monday morning delivery. As of right now, we're a bit past Chitown.

    Dislike! I buy Channellock when I can; it keeps people in my wife's hometown working[emoji41]

    I do OK out of Tulsa, actually. It's also warmer than here.

    Bad news: rates out of El Paso are almost as bad as Laredo's. Good news: we're rolling, to Ft Wayne. Currently in Kansas and boy it's chilly [emoji19]

    We shall see if my idea is correct: I just drove 639 miles, deadhead at my own expense, from Laredo to El Paso. I figured that I can get out faster with 30 other units in the EP area, vs 197 in Laredo. Fortunately, I had figured on deadheading out of LDO when I bid and won the trip down there...

    Death of the 2 newspaper town

    Philadelphia has two papers, the Inquirer and the Daily News. One for the highbrow class, one for the laborers. Same owners, tho, so same liberal slant[emoji14]

    My record is six days, then I dh'd out and got out of Houston the next day. A guy sat here 26 days back in 2011 (?). He's now in an office :)

    Then the shippers expect everyone to do it [emoji21] That, and there's very few runs outta here that don't go 1000+ miles. Sure, everybody wants to go to Detriot for chicken feed [emoji19]

    Perioodic, I forgot you're Eastern European. Didn't mean to offend. OTOH, I don't believe you're here on the 6-month plan :)

    It should be, but it ain't. Too many European vans with drivers to match. Kinda tough for a flattop.
