Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends!  Have a good, fun and safe day today, especially to all you drivers out there.

Yesterday I picked up a load in Duncan, SC and it is going to Rome, NY for a Friday afternoon delivery.  I could be there tonight if they would let me deliver it Friday morning, but since I can’t I plan to stop in Binghamton, NY at the T/A.  I’m starting my day off in Dublin, VA.  I’ll be in VA, WV, MD, PA, and NY today.

Our company (ATS) is reimbursing us for our Thanksgiving dinners.  That is very kind of them.

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.

Start of a new week!

Good Morning to all my family and friends! I had a long busy week last week. I was working nights and did not get on the internet, sorry I was gone, but I was just too tired to do anything but work, eat and sleep.

This morning I’m in St George, SC at the Wilco Hess Truck Stop where I took yesterday off and got lots of rest! I’m now back on day shift. I have a load that I picked up in Savannah, GA and am taking to Ramsey, NJ for Monday. Today I expect to travel through, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and finally to stop for the night in Pennsylvania.

I’m hoping to get a chance to stop somewhere along the route at a Truck Stop that has a chapel service at the time I’m passing, but as of right now I don’t know where that would be.

2 Deliveries to make today

Good morning,

Today I have 2 deliveries to make. The first is 3 refrigerated display cases to ShopRite in Bear, DE. The second is 1 refrigerated display case to a ShopRite in Philadelphia, PA. I’m only about 30 min away from the first delivery which is set for 8:30AM. I’ll probably get there early for that delivery, some where between 7:30 and 8:00.

TA has me a bit ticked off. They have shrunk the size of there coffee cups by 4oz and still charging the same as for the old size. They used to be 16, 20, 24oz now they are 12, 16, and 24oz. The 20oz used to be the perfect size, now the choice is to go to one that isn’t big enough or pay for coffee that will be to cold to drink when I get to the last 4oz. Maybe I’ll just switch to Pilot. I like there coffee better anyways.
