all kids need a mother and father figure,and im very glad to see eskimo had steped up to the plate,,,and if that little girl is calling him her ,,,ruck driver daddy,then it means alot to her and she looks up to him and from eskimos post he seems like a pretty #### good stand up guy,,my hats off to him

 

its like the l-a-w or shoulder launched missile .its a heat seeker,like on the movie shoot niclos cage and tommy lee jones,forget the name but when tommy crashed his black hawk the girl screwed the coofy can looking thing to the bottom of a missil and shot the jet in the butt,

 

You ain't shoulder launching that baby.. You have to be able to steer it to its target..

 

I've been demoted to lurker around here myself lately

Way too much down time, not enough to report and little to keep it upbeat, so a challenge for what to say at all.

Friday we were supposed to go to 2 or 3 places to get the 2290, tag and IFTA going for the new truck. As soon as we got to the IRS they said right out there was a 3 hour wait. So that took forever, then we only had less than an hour to get to the tag place but it was 30 miles away straight through ATL at almost 4pm rush hour, so that didn't happen.

Was hoping to be underway right now but looks like it will have to wait until Monday now. I already got a load asssignment, pretty good load from VA to NM. I'll be a day late picking it up so we're going to have to get it there in about 32 hours between us, 1750 miles.

I'll be back posting strong once I'm getting some traction, but cleanup is going to take a month or two from here on out. Be a while until it's fun again

 

rob whos gona be doing most the driveing its a 34 hour run for ruffly 1800 miles,i would keep your new trainee in the jump seat till you get your 80,000 monster out of the mountains???????? of va and nc, just a sugestion but i believe yull use good judgement,just remember if hes never drove before to bring your neck brace,and im not trying to be little the man cause i dont know what kind of exspirence he has but,i have faith in in you that after your last months of mechanical problems and miss haps ,you will advise him of what not to do with a fairly new truck,oh and rob ,,,this one dont need a sunroof !!!!!!!!!!!sorry bud had to throw that in there

 

well rob hopeing with good judgement and knowing what you have been thru in the last month of mechanical issuse,i hope you will exspain to you new co driver and partner what NOT to do to a fairly new truck in GOOD MECHANICAL SHAPE,hint hint wish you all the luck and hope everything works out,but one peace of advice and this is not to belittle you new co driver on your way from va and thru the mountains i hope you are driveing????? i would wait till you got on the flat run to let him get his feet wet, oh and rob this one dont need a sunroof lol had to thro that one in there bud

 

Ummm... the TOW isnt a heat seeker. Unless something changed in the past few years. It's wire guided.

 

if he's a trainee, let's just hope he's better then that video was all saw of the roll over the mountainside
