Needed alarm clock... still tired for some reason. Only four hours from Hermiston Walmart DC. When I stopped last night. Arrived at 13:00. Drop / Hook, but it took a while to find a trailer that wasn't completely screwed up. Found three with completely jacked doors – couldn't get them closed.
Next load- run empty to portland, then take a pre-loaded trailer up to Seattle. All of maybe 7 hours of drive time. Delivery due Monday. I might be able to get it done tonight....gonna see if it works.
Sigh. Nope. Directions to Jubitz (sp?) drop yard are completely messed up.. From I-5, exit 307. Go east on Marine Dr... so far, so good. But then they say “Follow signs to Jubitz... etc” There is ONE sign, and it seems to be directing you to the building on which the sign is mounted.. spent an hour and a half running up and down Marine drive. Since it wasn't there, turned onto Vancouver Blvd. BINGO! Not a half mile down and there's Juvick. But even THEY don't know where the damn drop yards is. Is it one, or two.. or maybe three streets down. It's 6.
Another heavy load.. could have made it to Seattle if not for those damn directions. Gonna run out of time before I can get there, so I'm gonna stop in Chehalis. Gonna weigh the load, though.
Aw hell! There are no scales between Portland and the first Washington weigh station.
I passed.. maybe the scale ticket from the shipper is actually correct.
Bedding down at MM 71- actually short of Chehalis, but I'm pooped, and only 2 hours away from the consignee, so it will do. I'd have preferred being closer, but I don't like looking for a spot to park when I have less than an hour left on my 11. Gonna have fewer than 14 left on my 70, then, too.
