Middletown, Ohio

Chattanooga, Tn

Well hello, I picked up earlier today down in Atlanta heading to Campbell, Missouri which is in southeast Missouri where Tenn, Ark, and Missouri come together. Not a great load, I wasnt very happy with it but oh well.....Not much new here, Auburn has had 3 disappointing losses in a row now, very upsetting. This weekend we play Ole Miss, another tough game.

Yall be good

Houston, Tx

Howdy fokes...I got behind again, I'm getting good at not being a good blogger. I made it to Douglas, Ga and then got a load picking up in Jacksonville and delivering in Austin this morning. I delivered that and came over here to Houston where I will pick up in the morning and head to Villa Rica, Ga (just west of Atlanta)...Its a decent load, 200 empty and 800 loaded due Monday...I will get to watch the Auburn vs LSU game this weekend

Birmingham, Alabama

Actually I am still in Huntsville about to leave out. I have to pick up a load tonight at our Birmingham terminal and take it to Douglas, Ga for tomorrow. Its in south Georgia so I will drive most of the night. I wasnt expecting to leave back out until min the morning so I didnt sleep today, this should be a fun night. I see 2 Monster drinks in my near future, maybe 3.

It was a good hometime, I got some cool things for my birthday. I ended up staying with AT&T and actually had an iPhone for about 3 hours and took it back. I didnt like that thing. Touch screen texting sucks. I got a Blackberry Bold 9000, a very nice phone. I may let my phone drive this load to Georgia, hell it does everything else, lol

HOME FOR A WEEK !!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is my Birthday, 43

Tomorrow I will also be giving AT&T an ultimatum...They credited my account $8000.00 and then they credited it an additional $2200.00...I am still not satisfied. I did nothing wrong and I am still getting screwed. My current balance is $1250.00 and my ultimatum to them is, I will pay half of that, buy an IPhone or a nice Blackberry and sign a new 2 year contract, my current contract is almost ended....or.....I am going to Verizon tomorrow...their choice

I am a 5 year customer that has never missed a bill.....Either way I get a new phone tomorrow, yayy! Happy Birthday to me, lol

Glade Springs, Va

Hmm, where to begin. Well I sat for 2 days up in Connecticut and finally got a load out of there yesterday that will get me home. Canaan, Ct to Birmingham, Ala...Interesting thing happened at the shipper in Ct. I was sitting there waiting to load with another driver from my company and a third driver from our company pulls in to pick up his load. He walked up and said that his load was also going to Alabama and it was to get him home also for hometime. It turns out he is a huge Auburn fan, as big an Auburn fan as me. So we got loaded and we both ran together last night and today. We stopped today in Harrisburg to watch Auburn get absolutely romped by Arkansas, a very upsetting loss. But still a good season so far for Auburn, 5-1....He actually recognized me from YouTube, he is JakeBrakeProductions on YouTube. So it was a really neat thing the past couple days running with a fellow YouTuber and Auburn fan. I am really tired, we drove 620 miles today from Newburgh, NY to Southern Virginia. Not bad considering we stopped for 3 hours to watch the game. We had to average about 60 mph to do it legally if we were going to stop to watch the game, plus we are both heavy, about 46,000 lbs in the Va and Pa hills.

Ok, yall be good, I will be home Monday until probably next Monday, yay!!!

Hagerstown, Md

Well I got a load out of the Boston area, a crap load but at least I'm getting a few miles this weekend. Kearny, NJ to Radford, Va due monday. Its 200 empty miles and then 470 loaded miles. I could be there today but why even bother. Lowes wont take this load of shingles until Monday so i stopped here to shower and do laundry. Plus maybe I can watch the Auburn vs Tennessee game here tomorrow. Huge game!!! Tomorrow we find out what my Auburn Tigers are made of, We find out if we actually have the #1 ranked offense in the nation.

Boston again

Well I pulled a load from Elizabethton, Tn up here to Providence and I am now at the same truck stop I was at last week. Maybe this time I wont sit all weekend.

Roanoke, Va

Well I sat all weekend in Boston and Connecticut and finally picked up a load of shingles in Kearny, NJ and brought them here to Bedford, Va. Now I am at the TA in Roanoke waiting for another load. Very discouraged about the miles that I have been getting. I really like the company that I pull for but I wont sit like this much longer. If miles dont improve by November I hate it but it will be time to move on to another company. People say that it is the economy and I agree but I have a lot of friend that are drivers and they arent sitting like this.

Boston

Actually I am south of Boston in Foxboro, about 2 miles from where the Patriots play. If I dont get a weekend load out of here then I will drop my trailer and bobtail over to the stadium to have a look see. But lets hope I get a load. I havent been on much lately, I am still having disputes with AT&T about internet billing issues. That crap is almost over, I talked with them for 2 hours today. They are trying to screw me and I am not going to let them. Actually they are working with me and they have been very kind but they say I still owe 2700 bucks and I refuse to pay it. So now they put in a 2100.00 dispute on my behalf and we will see what happens with that. Over the last 2 months I have owed them 7700.00, then I owed them 10,600.00, then they credited me 8000.00 and they now say I owe 2700, wrong answer...All because of 3 hours of Canada internet usage....Yall be good

Lexington, Ky

Good morning, it is a beautiful day. I had to sit all weekend in Blytheville, Ark. I had no laptop signal as i sat all weekend in a Wal Mart parking lot with a couple other drivers from my company. Sitting 2 days in a Wal Mart parking lot can prove to be very costly. So anyways, I got a load out of Blytheville going up to Boston. I really like Boston. Good load, 18 steel beams, no tarp, 47,720 lbs, just put 9 chains on 'er and roll wid it. I just woke up and today I look forward to pulling this heavy load up I-79 in WV and across I-68 in WV and Maryland, lots and lots of mountains and curves, I love it!!!!!!

Elizabethtown, Ky

I am so sorry about letting my blog get so far behind, I have been busy and havent had a laptop signal for a couple days. But Jimmy, you havent posted for over a week. Yea yea yea, my fault, wont happen again...this week, lol....Ok I am not going to catch everybody up on where all I have been. I am currently in the middle of a Pittsburgh, Pa to Blytheville, Ark run.

Auburn plays West Virginia tonight, HUGE game.

St Louis

I do apologize for being AWOL from my blog lately, I have been pretty busy for the past week. From Monday afternoon to Thursday I drove Birmingham to Charlotte to Chicago to Des Moines to St Louis. I was on my way to a really good week until yesterday when I got here to StLouis and this company was closed and cant unload me until Monday. Actually I knew this may happen after I unloaded in Des Moines yesterday morning and headed here to StLouis to deliver the second part of this load, I knew I may not make it in time. This load was due yesterday but the steel yard in Chicago was 6 hours late getting me loaded so that kinda does away with the delivery appt, but it screwed my weekend.

Ok, so here I sit at this Petro, eating breakfast in the restaurant, blogging on my laptop. Today is filled with plenty of college football but sadly I will have to listen to it on XM. I could go into the drivers lounge and see what they have on in there but I can already tell you that they wont have any sports on in there. It seems that truckers would much rather watch Star Trek or some other ridiculous show rather than watch College Football. Strange people

Auburn plays Mississippi St tonight at 7pm EST

Huntsville, Alabama

Home for a couple days to take care of some business. I am supposed to go back on Saturday but I hope they dont get me a load until Monday so I can watch the Auburn game saturday night

Decatur, Alabama

I tired....I drove Roanoke, Va to Decatur, Ala today and am more tired than normal for some reason. Swine flu? Damn I hope not, college football starts this weekend. If its Swine I hope it holds off until Monday, lol. Well I deliver here in Decatur in the morning and then I go home for the weekend

Jessup, Md

Well I delivered this morning over in Rockville, Md, actually it turned into this afternoon. It took them forever to unload me. It was a highrise hotel construction site, no fun, big mess. Anyways, I came here to the TA and just got another load. Baltimore to Decatur, Alabama. I will go home for the weekend after I deliver. I usually stay out much longer than 3 weeks but I have some business to attend to at home before the 10th of the month. The best part is I will be home for the first weekend of college football. Auburn plays La Tech saturday. La Tech is no pushover, they won like 9 games last year and went to a bowl game. Auburn is a 14 point favorite but I dont see it. I will be satisfied with a 1 point victory, lol...Mmmmk, I'm out

Hagerstown, Md

Just chillin at the Hagerstown Pilot with another driver from my company. We both deliver in Rockville (60 miles) in the morning. We are planning to leave here tonight and head on in. Our company was unable to get us directions so we are hoping that Google Earth and Mapquest have found the correct address for us. Its a beautiful day, showered, bout to do laundry and maybe watch a movie or maybe shoot a video...Yall be good

Somewheres East of Lexington, Ky

Well I got my truck fixed today. They got me a load for the weekend, not a great load but its better than sitting. I feared that it would take Peterbilt all day to fix my truck and then it would be too late to get a weekend load....Frankfort, Ky to Rockville, Md (DC)....185 empty miles, 550 loaded miles.....not bad

Columbus, Oh

Sorry I havent been around much lately. I had to sign up for a different wireless interne plan with AT&T and I now only have 5gb of wireless internet per month. I was averaging 10gb per month up to now. So now I am trying to cut back until I can figure out just how much 5gb is.

I am in Columbus. I delivered a load from NJ to Dayton this morning and had some truck problems. Actually it was a major problem. Last night at about around 9pm I pulled into the London, Oh TA for fuel and another driver noticed that my rear drive axle was sitting crooked on the frame. Big problem!!! I was only about 50 miles from my delivery so I drove it on to make my delivery. This morning I contacted my company and told them of the problem and they sent me here to the Grove City (Columbus) Peterbilt dealer. There are 2 big U bolts that hold the axle in place and these U bolts have a housing that hold them. That housing is broken and my axle had shifted. Scary stuff considering I had just pulled 47, 640 lbs of steel from NJ through the PA mountains and curves. They had to order the part, it will be in tomorrow and they will hopefully be done in time so I can get a load for the weekend.

The first thing my company asked me is "what did you hit"? I didnt hit shyt!!!! I have never put a sctratch on a truck. When I got to the Pete dealer, I asked them if they could tell that I hadnt hit anything. The 2 guys looking at it said they saw no evidence that I hit anything. I knew I hadnt but was still relieved and was even more relieved when I overheard him telling my people that there was no evidence that I hit anything. So its a warranty thing and wont cost my company so all iz gud, lol
