This was the I40 river gorge from Tennessee to North Carolina I drove through Wednesday. It is a very pretty drive with tons of trees a few tunnels and a river at the bottom.
I delivered on Wednesday and started a reset of my hours due to the fact that I only had .25 on my 70 hour clock when I was done with the load. So I found a good place to hold up for the 34 hours, a truck stop north of Charlotte. I have good TV reception and good Internet so I was all set. All I did was play on the computer, watch TV, take showers and lots of sleeping.
Today I am going to start my driver westward in hopes of making it back home by next Friday. After 7 days out i pick a home time and send it in by computer 9 days before i want to be home. I did on Monday and made it next Friday. It could take all week to get home. So normally the first thing the planners shoot for is the west coast and then narrow it down from there.
Wish me luck and be safe.
