I left Tonopah, Arizona early this morning to try to beat the traffic in Phoenix and Tucson. Phoenix was no problem but I did get caught up a bit in Tucson due to construction along I-10. Still, I managed the 500 mile trip in just under eight hours which basically meant it was cruise control at top speed 99% of the way. Just the way I like it.
It turns out the load was high value so I probably shouldn't have posted my whereabouts before I arrived at my destination. Whoops. CFI hasn't asked me to take any particular measures in this regard, but I think in the future I will resume the "Where in the US is he?" posts.
When I was pulling out of our El Paso yard I noticed the CFI truck number 30000 in the back row. This is a new Kenworth T660 with its experimental (and tempermental, apparently) advanced HVAC system. I didn't see the driver when I started snapping photos of the exterior but it turns out he was there so we chatted for a bit. I will post pics when I get someplace with broadband, which isn't something El Paso is equipped with at this time.
