OK...gotcha....didn't think you had left....yet.

Yes, many branches of trucking do seem to be tragically linked in terms of performance, don't they??

nothing truer has ever been said lol.......and i'm still learning to fine tune it....i failed miserably earlier this week and paid the price in not as many miles for the week.....but with the one i'm on now got it right and will end up smelling like a rose with a fresh 11 at delivery on friday morning.....

but the box can be VERY unforgiving and really doesn't give a #### that you sat in a construction zone or waiting for an accident to clear and now can't make your intended stop......or that the yard is only 10 miles away lol (that one actually happened last weekend)......

but it gets easier to work with with each passing week as i learn the nuances of it......

sitting at the T/A in Greencastle Pa on my way to Cartersville, Ga......first thing this week with some miles on it.....and had to blindside into the last spot in the lot....looking around the place now, almost ALL the spots are angled to the right.....what's up with that i wonder?.....hehehehe......not too bad for a rookie if i do say so myself......hahahaha

Pennsauken, NJ where I now wait at LEAST 45 minutes to get unloaded.
