Daily Summary for 6/17/2023

Big Rig Steve officially done for the day 16:01 PDT safely parked near Lovelock, Nevada as we needed to stop for the required 30 minute break anyway. Yes, we are making best use of our clock.

Title: Early Alarm Clock ⏰ We did pretty good Today 

Big Rig Travels broadcast day began 2:03 PDT near West Sacramento, California parked outside of the refer repair shop. They completed the repairs shortly after yesterday’s stream stopped. 

Steve was up with early morning alarm clock at 1:30 PDT. 

We rolled back onto I-80 westbound for 5:00 PDT delivery appointment at the Port of Oakland, CA 

 Arrived at receiver one hour early, live delivery was 3 hours, so BRS was able to get in a two hour split 14 hr clock which was useful later in the day. 

After delivery completed, we rolled to the yard at Lathrop, CA  where BRS flipped camera into British mode to complete drop and hook of our next load.

We rolled eastbound on I-80 another live broadcast back over Donner Pass thanks to Big Rig Star ⭐️ we completed without losing the stream. Yes, BRS is very very happy with Starlink  

We stopped quick at Fernley, NV Pilot for coffee.

Numbers : 940 mile 1512 km to the receiver in Denver, Colorado before 12:00 MST Monday yes bosses don’t think we will make it in time. BRS is confident that we can complete delivery on time. We covered 429 miles 690 km today including delivery at the port and pickup at the yard. Yep, “we did pretty good today“

Clocks :  1:55 hours on 11 hr,  1:30 hours on 14 hr,  42:03 hours on 70 hr, do not gain back  hours tomorrow.

BRS advised the plan is another night watching alarm clock so we can start at 3:00 PDT as this trip is really tight. Goal tomorrow will be to try to pull off 600 mile 964 km day. We will have plenty of mountains to deal with all day. As usual with BRT, all is subject to change. “We will play it by ear“

Another good day for Big Rig Travels
