Just flew down that thing and made it to the Loves to shut down for a 34…
With 3 min left on my 70
It was really, really stressful. I’m still kinda cortisol dumping rn
But I pulled it off. So congratulate me fellas and then tell me how dumb that was

I don’t have room to talk. I made it back to my terminal with 7 minutes left on my 70.

Congratz ur dumb 😂 cant say im any better. I dont usually brush up on my 70 but I play with my drive time a lot. Usually on days I know a company terminal is nearby.
I may or may not have limped a mile or two on yard move keeping it under 20mph on side roads to a terminal once. Im very... anal about where I poop in the mornings.

Not dumb. Maybe you might've been better off with a 34 in Flagstaff as the temps generally are a bit better than the Phoenix area, but then again, in the Phoenix there's plenty more things to do than in Flagstaff.

Flagstaff is prettier scenery though.

Depends, in certain parts of Phoenix there's supposed to be some better looking chicas to pickup than standard lizards at truckstop.

I’m happily married and don’t want my weiner to fall off.

Last week at 5am in the morning there was bumper to bumper traffic on I-17 a bit North (10 miles) of the Pilot/Loves in Meyer, AZ . I figured something exploded, crashed, or fell from the a sky to cause such horric traffic in the middle of nowhere at that time. After 45 min I reached the cause, it was a tanker with a flat, triangles out on the shoulder, he wasn't even blocking the right lane! Rubber necking 4 wheelers saw a big truck with his 4 ways and decided to come to a complete stop for a real extended lookie-loo and create traffic for miles. Anyhow, you got really lucky the dummies were behaving today for you.

I’m born and raised in AZ, and yeah, that’s way too common. Traffic usually likes to come to a stand still when there’s a car on the shoulder for whatever reason

I would have stayed in Flag. Nice weather. Go see the Lowell observatory at night.
Lots of blue haired, unshaven hippy chicks around. All the wineries in Sedona.

Man that's cutting it way too close, my heart would be racing entire time but props for making it safely

I've made it with less than a minute more times than I've completely ran out. It's a trip for sure.
