other dog Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I went all the way to Fort Lauderdale Florida, and all I saw was this blue car and a big Mack truck- and both were in Virginia.I'm hearing rumors that i'm going to California this week, but i'm not sure yet.

The loads are going to Avila Beach. The drivers that have been there before go to Bakersfield and come back south on 99 then take 166 back west to 101 north to stay far away from L.A. My truck drips a little oil too. Drips a little power steering fluid. I might just tell them I don't want to go, i'm still pondering it. I kinda do and kinda don't.

Wednesday morning a little before 8. I got to Ft. Lauderdale about 1:30 pm, unloaded at Steel Fabricators, and headed straight back north to exit 7 in Ga. That was an all day job, over 700 miles in Florida. Had to pick up in Savannah yesterday coming back to Petersburg,Va.I thought I saw you on I-95 near Ft. Lauderdale, but wasn't sure. Saw a big looooong stretch limousine but the windows were tinted so dark I couldn't see in. Summich was so long it's a wonder the frame didn't break.
