Paging Rampy...

Monday I will be laying over in Elko, Nevada. and Tuesday I will be laying over in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Wednesday I am headed to Golden Co to unload and then headed back the way I came in to go home.

My boss and I will each be in our own trucks hauling some sort of specialty items. I am not one to travel far and only agreed to go on this trip to help him out.....anyway, if you are nearby let me know.

We are loading in Folsom, Ca.  Monday morning. 

How is that drive across all that area...boring or decent?

From Reno to SLC it’s flat, desolate with very little to see, you will go thru part of the great salt lake and that’s interesting

After SLC & you enter Wyoming the fun begins, 80 is a madhouse, lots of semi crashes or other fun things can happen, with all the crazy drivers & I’m assuming all of 80 is like that.

However, depending on what your driving and the weight watch the winds, I’ve seen winds blow over a train next to 80 & lots of semis blowing over. If they put out wind warnings & your under the weight listed….park and wait….its no joke

I’m assuming you will be staying in a hotel right off of 80/25 interchange as they have lots of parking

I’ve got 2 procedures in Colorado hospital Monday and will be sedated, no idea what I’ll be like Tuesday

golden is a nice little town shoot me a message if ya want anything specific

If you or your boss is on Facebook this group is full of great information weather and road conditions

We will be hauling low loads ( I think) that will put us in the 70,000 pound range. Not full weight but not too light. I'm hoping it's a smooth easy trip. Good luck with your procedures and I will hit you up I can think of anything else along the way.

Let me know when you get into town & if I’m able I’ll meet ya somewhere for dinner

Will do. We are in Elko currently.

Today is the end of day three. We made it into Golden and unloaded and squirted back out of town. We ended up stopping just inside the Utah border for the night. I ran out of hours on my log book. We have been pushing hard for three days.

In the morning we split up and my boss will take my trailer and me his and he is headed into Idaho going to Eugene Or for a load back to Folsom on Monday day. I will be headed home on my own. I’ll have one more night in Fernley Nv then pound ground for home Friday. We have averaged over 600 miles a day and yesterday was 670.

So far I have liked the area between Salt Lake City and the Wy border and I liked the green valley area in Wy.
