X190582

Cleveland OH to one stop-off in Phoenix AZ, then on to Vernon (Los Angeles) CA.
Paid miles: 2350 (1984 + 366).  Actual miles to drive: 2432 (2065 + 367)

Yuck. A Roadrunner load.  Those of you who have pulled for Roadrunner Freight Systems know well why I was not looking forward to this load: loads supposed to be ready by 2200 are not ready until 0500 the next day, but you are still expected to make on-time delivery. Well, surprise, ours was ready early!

Problems? Yep. Phoenix found "1 of 2" boxes and had to unload half the rest of the trailer to find "2 of 2" before we could go on to California. Meanwhile our old faithful truck, 35902, was leaking coolant onto the ECM computer, which caused some entertaining and scary moments in the mountains.
