    Lol I read it but I’m not touching that one, learned a long time ago you can’t change someone’s beliefs, especially by calling them an idiot

    He can do whatever he wants/his company tells him. He stated he wants to be an o/o in 2 years. So there's nothing wrong with him having the tools to understand how these office monkeys make their decisions. Gotta know both sides of trucking to make it, the driving and the business side. Ive spent 5yrs learning the business side, the hard way sometimes. This game is all about efficiency. Nothing about his fuel stop is efficient.

    Unloaded one time in Bristol, TN, reload was in Charlotte, NC. Pulled out my trusty road atlas, yup, route 421 to 321 was a direct route, man was that one big mistake. By the time I hit the base of the mountain before getting to Mountain City, I realized I messed up badly, switchback city they should have called it. Slid my rear tandems as far fwd as I could, but was still hugging the mountain in the wrong lane, while my rears were barely hanging on. Slow going, couldn't wait to get off that road, beautiful view though.

    Also, some "state route" roads in VT are nothing more than dirt goat paths for miles, be warned. All right breaks over, back to work...

    Got my junk load delivered yesterday in Glasgow, MT and Williston, ND. When I left Harlowton, MT yesterday morning I had 8:13 left on my 70hr clock. I guess it was wishful thinking that is was enough time to drive for 6:45 and unload in the remaining 1:30. Boy was I wrong because yesterday was "farm equipment & implement day", "slow farmer in his pickup day", and then BOOM, let's close down US-2 Eastbound twice just a few miles apart where you able to wait for the pilot car to take the traffic east and west at a 10mph roll. Totally ruined my hours for me and I ended up going over my 70hr clock by 2:12.

    Now, I'm doing a reset at the Pilot on the north side of Williston, ND. The only food here is the Subway or the pizza. All of the restaurants are down south in town.

    I think the TA is better. I can't remember. Petro on the other side of El Paso is pretty cool. Chrome shop, cb shop, movie theater.

    I'm out of hours and we don't have personal conveyance on Valley's PeooleNet ELD. They took it away for everyone whether you are in your own truck or not.
