Denver, CO to Yakima, WA
Part 1 Denver, CO to Ogden, UT

I woked up early to a dispatch from the bossman an I did my inspection before arriving to BNSF Logistics intermodal yard. I hooked up to a placarded load (class 5.2) of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, and I sealed and locked the trailer before leaving Denver to go up to Yakima.

Before my driving time was up, I stopped at the One 9 Fuel Stop for to fuel up the truck and add DEF. After fueling up, I was lucky to get a parking spot before the truck stop gets crowded by drivers stopping before nightfall. I had prepared dinner before resting up for 10 hours.

Ponderay, ID to Coeur d'Alene, ID to Gillette, WY
Part 1: Ponderay, ID to Coeur d'Alene, ID to Gillette, WY to Missoula, MT

Rested up after taking my 10 hr rest period and getting out the truck while it's pouring down rain to inspect my truck.

After I finished inspection, I proceeded south to Coeur d'Alene by dispatch to pick up a load of misc. dangerous hazardous materials cargo.
[ external image ]


I arrived to the shipper and it took me 6 hours waiting to get loaded.

After getting loaded, I received the manifest, seal, and placarded the trailer with the dangerous label placard before leaving for Gillette, WY.

I didn't have long to drive due to the length of time to get loaded, I decided to stop in Missoula at the TA before my driving time runs out. While there, I added ULSD and DEF to the truck, stayed there to eat at the Country Pride before laying down for 10 hours.
