Yes. I'm still under the same rules. I'm stopped now for my 10 hour break just east of Indianapolis. I hope to be just shy of Oklahoma City after my 11 hours of driving tomorrow.

Good weather, yes.

Delivered a trailer to Pittsburgh PA this morning. Now, I'm bobtailing to Horizon City TX to pick up an empty dry bulk trailer that will come back up to eastern PA. A lot of empty miles but it pays the same.

Sunrise over Three Mile Island. Or, at least I hope that glow is the pending sunrise!

Back out today. A Preload and then I'm heading to eastern PA to offload tomorrow. I'm scheduled to have the truck serviced tomorrow afternoon/Friday. Not sure after that but hopefully long.

I'm going to get one of their kits for our RV. I've been waiting on one of their starlink internet kits to go on sale. They are currently selling the 3rd generation in the US. Once they start selling that kit in Canada, I'll pick one up there. $599 in both countries but with the current...

Fog at 10 degrees sucks.

Watched this yesterday. Disturbing to think this story is true. 3 1/2 hrs is a long time to sit/watch a movie. Would have never done it at a theater. That being said, I was still riveted throughout.

Truck fixed. Tire fixed. Made to Edmonton yesterday mid day only to have my delivery postponed to next Tuesday. 5 days of sitting north of the border. Good thing I subscribe to about every streaming services available. Hope to get out to get some walking in if the sidewalks are snow free.

Made it back to Chicago yesterday. Picked up a preloaded trailer bound for Edmonton. Made it to Alexandria, MN before my truck decided to go into a derate mode, reduced power. Probably fuel injector issue causing the misfire. Anyhow, I limped back to a Peterbilt dealer for repairs. I don't...

Looks like the route to eastern PA is further into the calendar than I thought. My next dispatch after Chicago is right back up here to Edmonton.

As long as I get to watch it, I'm good. Wanted to be home with my wife to watch it but that can't work out. I decided to extend this stint an additional two weeks. I'm going to be routed out to eastern PA to swap trucks while mine gets repaired.

Yeah, okay.....

It'll be interesting to see how this delivery goes today. If they have made enough room, this could end up being my address untill Monday. In the meantime, I picked up my steamed trailer yesterday in the afternoon. Did my pretrip and headed back to park at the Flying J. As I pulled out and...

I was tired last night but still wanted to stay up to watch them hand out those NFL Season Awards. I've got to start off by saying, congrats to Joe Flacco for winning the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. I guess somehow after I saw him announced for the award I must have dozed off on the...

Not my pic but it is from this morning, west end of Pittsburgh, PA. From some photographer I follow on Twitter. Time lapse photo of the city 40 minutes before sunrise.

Loaded trailers are more stable. Even those hauling liquid products. I would have never guessed that before I started driving but it's true. I don't know about the stopping distance though. When it starts getting bad, I reduce my speed or pull over to take a break. I greatly increase my...

The pics can't really do the size of these rigs justice but much of what is hauled to western Canada is hauled in double, full sized trailers. These are a couple pics of tankers but the same could have been taken of any trailer type imagined. They look like trains going down the road. While I...

I'm binge watching the Sopranos to pass my time. Occasional walks around the parking lot as well. It does suck to sit but getting paid to do so eases the pain ;)

No, not gonna make it in time. Best I could do is probably 11pm Sunday. I'll stop somewhere near Toledo, Ohio to watch it. That is, if there are no further delays. My scheduled delivery is now Friday at noon, mountain time. Supposedly they don't have room for the product I'm hauling, gear...
