Joshuab3687 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Just thought I'd start this thread to update my daily travels. As of today, I'm at home in Northwest Arkansas. I'll be heading out tomorrow, bound for Houston to deliver on Monday. I'll try and update daily. Maybe if I'm in your area we can meet up and have a mini "Vape 'N' Greet"!
Tam Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) How interesting! I'm looking forward to hearing about where you are and where you're headed. How long does it take from home to Houston? If it takes more than one day, I'd find it fascinating to hear where you stop each leg of the way. Edited March 30, 2014 by Tameiki Joshuab3687 1
joejoevapekins Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 If you are ever in the fort worth area hit me up. I'm heading out tmrw

Compenstine Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Where at? So long as he has a place close to park his rig.
Vispera Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Theres tons of places not sure about parking but im sure I could find a place
Compenstine Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Cool, A place on Alpine would be best for me. I'll be coming down 37 to Alpine.
Joshuab3687 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 How interesting! I'm looking forward to hearing about where you are and where you're headed. How long does it take from home to Houston? If it takes more than one day, I'd find it fascinating to hear where you stop each leg of the way. From my house to Houston is gonna be about 13 hours. I can only legally drive a max of 11 in a day. I'll be heading out around noon or so and probably stop somewhere just south of Dallas on I-45. Then get up in the morning and head the rest of the way in.
Tam Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 You said you'll stop near Dallas. Do you have places in mind where you can park your rig or do you have to do a search each time?
Joshuab3687 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 You said you'll stop near Dallas. Do you have places in mind where you can park your rig or do you have to do a search each time? I-45 is a highway I travel very frequently. I have several places (truckstops) that I have in mind. If I get there and any of them are full, I know of a few places that aren't truckstops I can park in. Our company has a contract to haul Home Depot and Lowes loads, so if I need too, I can park at one of those as well.
Joshuab3687 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Made it to a truckstop just south of Dallas! 195 miles from Houston. By the time I get there, morning rush hour will have thinned down. I wonder what my next load will be and where it'll be headed? Doesn't matter to me. As long as I'm moving, I'll be happy! Lol Tam and Mtdobies 2
Tam Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 So now you have the rest of the night off to relax and take it easy before starting off again tomorrow?
Joshuab3687 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah, I'll be getting up at 6:40 CST and rolling out by 7
joejoevapekins Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah, I'll be getting up at 6:40 CST and rolling out by 7 I just made it to fort worth myself lol. Time to start my 12hr shift after driving all night to get here
Joshuab3687 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 After an exhasting wait to get unloaded, I'm now on the east side of Houston, picking up a load of drilling pipe going to Midland, Texas for delivery tomorrow. And I know that I'll most likely pick up a load out of Rotan, TX after that. Probably back to the Austin, TX area. Once they get me in Texas, like to keep me here till its time to go home! Lol
Mtdobies Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Texas has some nice truck stops though, besides the traffic being a pain that's gotta help. Joshuab3687 1
