Daily Summary for 1/29/2023

BigRigSteve is officially done driving for the day at 17:03 CST, safely parked at receiver location.

Picked up load and at arrived at delivery location all in one day. 

Day started in Fairburn, Georgia 9:35 am EST in a pay for parking “dirt “ lot that we parked in for the night. 

We “bobtailed bob” back to previous receiver from yesterday’s delivery location to get an empty trailer. Camera flip so all could ride with to help find the trailer. 

Dead headed to the truck wash to get the trailer washed out and then next door to top off trailer refer fuel tank. We continued on to shipper in Kennesaw, GA where we dropped the empty and waited short time for preload trailer to be completed. 

A mini watch party during the wait which included BRS request to viewers to help support BigRigTravels free broadcasts by watching 60 second commercials as they only happen once a hour. By watching a full 60 seconds BRT will then get rewarded which helps pay for investments in the BRT broadcasts. 

BRS also dusted off his soapbox and had an educational message on SAFTEY which was addressed until the loaded trailer physically “appeared“ ready for pickup.

Steve noted with yesterday’s delivery we met the company’s mileage requirements 1st bonus level for the month of January and with another 500 miles, we can achieve 2nd bonus level. Woo hoo!

Villa Rica, Georgia we stopped at Pilot truck stop to visit the Certified Cat Scale

Yes our own BRTRC member Wampus Kat (aka Kat Scale) favorite. A mass check (weight) and yes we were legal. We ran into rain shortly down the road.

Next stop was shortly after we received a by-pass of the Weight Station near Waco, GA. We visited the Loves ❤️ travel stop at Waco, GA to pickup BRS favorites for lunch. Steve noted about grabbing the last free parking spot as we left hoping that rolling on into Alabama was not a mistake for finding parking later. 

As we approached Heflin, Alabama the Blue Comet truck computer alerted Steve that it’s raining and to be careful. Steve’s response “Oh you think? “. We had been driving in rain since before Waco GA.

Wampus Kat was busy pointing out Alabama land marks, sites and Waffle Houses to BRTRC in the chat as we traveled through his home state.
