Been there, done that. Dropped a load near there and picked up one in, uhmmmm, that town with the think tank....umm, oh yeah! Livermore!

Missed me. Ya gotta pay attention, I move fast!

Mari, you get another chance. I'll be in Pueblo on Saturday.

Also, heading back to Ft Worth, TX. Anyone there?

Here ya go Brian R , http://www.etrucker.com/apps/news/article.asp?id=52354

Hell of a truck !!!!!

BrianR · 03-27-2006, 04:19 PM

I have swapped trailers with another driver, who wanted to "go home", whatever that means. The upshot of this is that I will NOT be going through Colorado Springs as planned (sorry Mari) but heading to Sacramento. Rock Steady? PM me contact info and let's see what happens. Should be there the day after tomorrow or so. Anyone else?

Sorry I missed this earlier. Busy with work, first product release.

I'm also sorry I missed you in Pleasonton, 30 miles away. Sacto is 120 miles and I can't take that kind of time away right now.

Keep on truckin'

BrianR · 03-24-2006, 10:07 PM

I saw that. Amazing huh? I had to go take a cold shower!

elSicomoro · 03-25-2006, 01:42 AM

Brian, if you find your way to St. Louis, holler at me.

BrianR · 03-25-2006, 10:34 AM

Will do. I've been there many times. Keep an eye on this thread for my next route.

03-25-2006, 02:15 PM

Didn't catch your reply about Pueblo until just now, Brian. You may have already gone through, but I'll check back on this thread just in case. I know a couple of decent spots in Pueblo for an ice cold cola!

Luck is on your side. Due to logbook issues, I will not be there until tomorrow at the earliest. I am still several hours from Cheyenne. PM me your phone number and I will call with updated arrival information.

Nope. I can't do that. My company uses electronic logging via QualComm. I can't even fudge it a little. I have identified a few bugs in the programming that sometimes give me a few extra minutes and sometimes not. Big Brother giveth and taketh away I guess.

If I had paper logs, I would have more ontime deliveries and NO logbook violations, as I have several now due to unforeseen complications (no place to stop for 30 minutes etc) which I chalk up to not watching my clock and checking my remaining hours more frequently. I have been making more of an effort to keep track of time lately though.

Will do. I have one commitment tomorrow, but lets see if we can work something out. I haven't noticed Perth on the board lately, but Perth if you're still around we can drive down together and make a mini-cellar gathering!

Are they Seriously going to bust your chops over 30 minutes ???

BrianR · 03-26-2006, 01:30 PM

You bet your ass they will. Computers have NO margin for error. The DOT will usually let a few minutes go by if you are trying to get to the nearest safe haven after a long onload but the computers never let you slide at all!
