Good morning!

Today I’m starting my day from Matthews, MO,  I’ll be traveling through MO, IL, IN and finishing in Grand Rapids, MI tonight.  If any of my friends want to drive that far to visit I’ll help with the cost of the fuel, just it costs way to much (approx $200) to drive my tractor trailer that far for just a few hours visit.  Get in touch with me via phone or FB if you want to visit.

I’ll be getting in my 34 hour reset that I desperately needed.  So Monday I’ll be starting off with all my hours again.

Continuing on to CA

Good morning my friends and family,

Today I will continue on to CA.  I’m Starting the day off near Peoria, IL and will be going through Illinois, Iowa, and parking in Nebraska today.

I’m trying out my new 12v coffee pot today with some Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Spice coffee.  The one thing I know for sure is it is slow.  It takes about 15 min. for on 16oz cup of coffee to brew.  What I don’t know yet is how much coffee to use.  Today I tried 2 scoops for the 16oz.  We’ll see how it tastes and adjust from there.

California here I come!

Good morning friends and family!  Right now I’m sitting in Brookville, PA.  I picked up my current load in Perth Amboy, NJ and it is going to Fairfield, CA.  That is approximately 3000 miles.  It is set to deliver on Monday, but I’m hoping if I can make it there by Friday that I can deliver it then.

Today I’ll be traveling through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and parking for the night in Illinois.  I’m hoping to find a WalMart that has room for my truck to park as well as the time to stop.  I need to do a little bit of grocery shopping.  If there happens to be an IHOP close enough to walk to I will also try to take the time to have my favorite breakfast (their blueberry pancakes) to celebrate my birthday!  I should be pulling out of here at about 8:15.
