JJ's Place

I changed my avatar and added a few pic's to profile. My baby girls are there.
Now if you see me on the road you can say something. JJ may recognize me, but otherwise nobody does.

 

those look like my dogs i got a golden retreiver and black lab also my lab rides everyday. she was 6 weeks old when i found her at the j in russellville ark about 14 mo ago and has been on the truck ever sence. makes a great alarm system.

 

My black one is a mutt. She has her hair cut short in those pic's, better for summer and had not quite grown out yet last winter.
Looks allot like a border collie when her hair is longer, just she has longer hair. I was told that neither parent was a border collie though.
I was also told she would not get over 35 lbs lol.
She is about 55 now.
She was from a rescue. Came up from TN. Her and her sister were to be put down due to mites. They put down all the rest of the litter but 2 were saved.
She is a great guard dog. But very protective when people are around she does not know. I need to acclimate her more to people, but I am not home enough to do it.
I do not think she would bite, but you can tell she is not happy with strangers.
She is good with kids though. But if it is one she does not know then she gets skittish if they move too fast.
And the golden, well she is a typical golden. She is 10 years old now and loves everyone.

 

Took me forever to figure out how to get to your photos!!!! Good lookin dogs tho. Have met 1Bad's and she may bark but all she really wants to do is lick ya to death!!! lol

 

Well, HT is over sitting in Jubitz, PDX OR. Have clean trailer ready for Nabisco in a couple of hours then on to SLC to deliver. Boy the time flew and it got hot up here fast.

 

The Petro right across the freeway has a good salad bar & Buffet. IN n Out Burger + some other fast food options too. If you can make it to Buttonwillow check out the tri-tip salad at the Willow Ranch, right next to the TA.

 

Well, here I sit backed up to my 70 again.
I was offered a good load yesterday. Would have been 800 miles with a drop as fast as I could get it there.
But it was going to go to a terminal and then get delivered by another driver. To make sure they would have plenty of time to get it to the receiver I had to say no.
I would have been within 30 min of my hours ending at the end of the day, and any construction or other hold up would have made it so I would not get there till the day it was due.
Now I sit here a few more hours, then I will meet up with another truck and take his load to Winchester VA.
I will get there very very early, so will be taking another 10+ hour break waiting for that. But it will give me some padding on my 70 for the rest of the week.
They want me in Carlisle for a service again. This time it is a campaign, as they call any repair that they are doing to all trucks.
They have to remove the 5th wheel and replace all the bolts.
Fun fun. Tried to get them to do it in Columbus, but they are booked solid there for the next 2 days.

I have not decided if I will go home this weekend or not. So far I think dispatch plans on it, but I really have no reason to go home. Accept maybe to see my dogs and if the weather is ok go for a ride on my bike.

 

Well its back to the ole salt mines for me tomorrow. Wonder where the roads will take me this time?

 

the roads will take you somewhere you will experiance headaches high blood pressure and a bad attitude. all due to incompitent dispatchers, idiotic shippers. ####### receivers, and moron 4 wheelers
