On a Weds morning before Memorial day weekend May 1987, hubby and me hired on with a little company in Montgomery AL. We got all our paperwork done around 10am and dispatch told us truck was loaded and waiting... that we needed to git cause we had to be in Seattle WA by 12 noon Friday... :yikes: and there wasn't no bein late cause if we were, we would miss the boat, literally. Had to deliver at the port in Seattle. (don't even remember what we had on). Neither one of us had ever been any further north-west than Rock Springs WY. We didn't have a clue what we were in for.

At that time, I had been driving close to 3 yrs, but the only thing I had ever driven was a double bunk cab-over Int Eagle, and one of them slope nose KWs. This truck was a 359 ext hood Pete. I am all of 5' 2" and I just wasn't sure how this was gonna work out. :thinking: I sure weren't use to no hood like that. But we didn't have time to waste, so I just stretched everything as far as I could and gone we went. (After a couple hours and a couple of pillows... I settled in.)

We swapped back and forth driving, only stopping long enough to fuel and grab something to go. With the 2 hrs we would be gaining, we had enough time to make it with a little bit to spare (30 mns).

We were in Pocatello ID when I started driving right before dusk on Thurs evening. I drove and I drove and I drove... It got darker and darker till it was pitch black out. And for some reason, it seemed like we were the only vehicle on the road. I to this day still don't have a clue where I was, just that I was on a 35 mph downhill grade and it was so dayum dark the headlights couldn't even see... bout 3am or so. I was easin along and finally saw another vehicle's headlights coming from the opposite direction. Bout that time, Blue started jumpin off the dash. I looked down to see how much trouble I was gonna be in... I was runnin about 42.

Smokey went on past... and I kinda kept my eyes to the outside mirror, but after about 5 mins I figured he just didn't want to bother me.

I reckon I drove about another 15 or 20 mins when I see lights flashin in my mirror.

I was thinkin.... where the he!! did he come from and why is he flashin me? :HMM:

I eased off the road... he pulled in front of me and went around to passenger side.

Course I wanted to know why he stopped me. He told me, I clocked you at such and such (whatever) doing 42 mph, the speed limit on this grade is 35. :doh:

I asked him, "You talkin wayyy back yonder, bout 30 mins ago?" He said, "Yes ma'am." I told him that I figured he had just went on since I weren't doin too much over the speed-limit. That is when he informed me that he had to go nearly 20 mls before he could turn around. :rofl:

He gave me a speedin ticket for runnin 42 in a 35 and tried to impress upon me how important it was that I keep it down to the 35. I told him sure thang and we parted company. :bye:

I pulled back out on the highway, keepin on... until it started breakin daylight. As it got lighter out, I thought something was mighty funny. The lighter it got.... the more I got a real uneasy feelin. Finally it was full light and I was nearly in a panic. I hit the first rest area we come to and I pulled the valves, jumped back in the sleeper to wake up Trader.

He woke up and asked me, "What the he!! is wrong with you?" :wtf:

I said... "Baby! You gotta git up and drive..... we are on top of the world!" :yikes:

He looked out the windshield..... sure enough all he saw was blue sky and air! :omg:

Where I parked in the rest area was an over look and from that far inside the truck all you could see by stretchin your neck was blue sky and air.

I had never in my life seen nothin like that before. But it scared the daylights outta me.

He drove on in to Seattle.... we got there with 15 mins to spare.

Then we had to sit in Seattle all weekend (until Tues cause Monday was Memorial Day) for a load cuz our load fell through and dispatch took off at noon to go to Jubilee. :angry:

Man..... I can understand why the suicide rate is so high up there. It rained ALL 4 days while we were layed over. The most dismal and depressin place I ever been.

The good news of the whole trip was that the speeding ticket only cost me 35 bucks. :D

Headed down 6 to Houston. A B&W crests the hill and hits the lights. I look down and see that I'm speeding. Crap, I'm getting a ticket. I watch the rear view mirror and see that's he's having a hard time (because of traffic) getting turned around to the southbound lane. So, I think, if he's gotta chase me down, I'll get a ticket, but if I shut down and he doesn't have to chase me, maybe I'll just get by with a warning. So I shut her down and pull over. He turns, and catches up to where I'm parked, and goes flying by me!!!!! All the while looking at me like I'm some kind of dumb az. By the time I'll got rolling and caught up to him and the customer, he looks at me and laughs as I pass by!!!!

Talk about feeling foolish!!!!!! I think I lowered the seat for the rest of the trip!!!!!!!

From that point on, I don't stop unless they're right behind me and it's very apparent that I'm the one they're after. Of course, I travel that route every week and that trooper probably told his buddies if they want to see something funny, hit the lights if you see a light blue Freightliner draggin' a reefer down 6.
