A magical 3

Drove 632 miles today, not a record but still very crazy. 1st: Driving down the freeway in my lane being passed by a small box truck. I am aware of the truck; however, my brain sad look at the mirror. As I did he swerved away from hitting my trailer by mere inches. When he passed he was still texting or whatever on his cell phone. 2nd: In PA they have some rest stops also designated as weigh stations. They are usually closed; however, today, they had one open. I drove in and drove out, but there were many trucks pulled over because it was not a weigh test. They were checking paper work and doing drug tests. I was running legal so that was not the issue. The issue for me was time. The lot was full so all of us arriving at that time simply kept driving. 3rd: I arrived at Mifflinville, PA; Love's Travel Center, at 1:15 PM and was parked by 1:17PM. My 11 hour clock expired at 1:15PM.
I am about 130 miles from where I deliver in the Bronx tomorrow. I will leave around midnight since there is parking at Hunt's Point if I arrive early. This will allow me to take it easy once I start crossing the George Washington Bridge.
