damn what a day.

first off. Blue didn't start. Took me and anothet guy an hour to get it started. I was begining to think it wasn't going to.

that load was 45k lbs of animal feed and the route was nothing but hills, I didn't know we had friggin mountain ranges in east TX!!!! I don't think I hit 65mph all day. Took me 5 1/2 hours to run 220 miles and I burned so much fuel doing it I had to dip into my fuel for my next trip just to get that one delivered. Now i've got 250 miles to run and 60 gallons of fuel in my tanks and I can't shut the truck off.

I'm tired

I'm at the Pilot in Tyler, going in to get a shower.

bye

blue is mad at me. I think she's going to try n kill me in my sleep. She's a bitter ol hag, don't cross her

The last two 45k lb loads took their toll on her. My next load is jet ski's about 9K lbs I think
