34 hr restart

Well, got up this morning and left out of Barstow,CA for Patterson,CA. I had about 320 miles to go. It had rained during the night and there was a ton of fog out. At one point I could only see about 3 car lengths in front of me and I had slowed WAY down. But it finally cleared up. Made it to consignee around 1100, dropped and bobtailed out of there.

Currently sitting in CA at a TA taking our restart. Got hooked up to IdleAire while we were here. Currently watching CSI which is cool.

Driving in today they tried to send us another load. I ended up sending a message in and then calling to figure out what was going on since I had us showing available tomorrow at 1300, not today. When I spoke to our trip planner, he was confused also as to why we were sent a load. Anyway, got that taken care of and here we sit.

T-net. As a former SNI driver and regular on Pumpkin Driver, I came across your blog some months ago. Currently, I am a writer for the industry and am exploring the options of a podcast/vodcast/blog for a client.

What I'm most interested in is your new truck purchasing experience and more importantly, service after the sale. If you might be interested in sharing your experience, please contact me: david.howell@draftfcb.com I would be happy to discuss the idea in detail.

Regardless, I love your blog and look forward to keeping a breast of your travels.

Drive safe, David
