My Experiance with Watkins Shepard!

it wasn't on black mountain it was on that stretch of I-40 after it that leads up to the NC/TN boreder. And they're talking about going east on 40 not west...lol

Thanks!

That would be nice (money) , I always enjoy reading about how theres "NO money in trucking" or "you can't get rich driving a truck".....But trucking is a $12 TRILLION dollar a year industry in the U.S theres plenty of money out there you just need to be in the right place to collect it lol


I doubt I'll get rich in trucking but at least I won't be broke, and I get to do something I enjoy all day.

so I moved next door to party with the "real truckers" at Iowa 80 lol I moved all of 100 feet.

Anywho so I figured they'd have a better selection of Antennas and the power cord that I need ........well, If this place has anything CB related I can't find it. The worst part is Wolcott CB is like 2 miles away!!! They have everything you could ever want and I have no way to get there lol

Well I supose I could walk.....but its cold and windy so yea I'm gonna stay in my cold truck instead lol. Although I might run next door to get what I need lol

So I just did all the calcuemalations (thats my word) for this 11 stop load I have and I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be ROUGH lol.

I have 10 stops tomorrow Covering 277 miles and dropping 64 pieces of furniture.....and the just one stop tuesday morning with 58 pieces.

I did all the math and I'm not sure I can get all 10 done tomorrow, I have to call some of them tomorrow to get there hours but I doubt any of them will be there at 6pm.....funny though I'm delivering 24 pieces to a Holiday Inn.......So i'm going to see if I can do them last tomorrow since they dont close I hope lol

I do have a few tricks up my sleeve on this one though so I might just pull it off lol 3 of the stops only have 1 Piece so I'm hopeing I can just pull up and take it out, and bring it in lol instead of wasteing 2-20 minutes backing in.

Just in case anyone is courious when I do my math I automaticly assume every stop will take 30 min whether its 1 piece or 20. So that way I usually have a few extra minute to spare...

I'll show ya:All times are in eastern time, so remove 1 hour for local time.

8:45am-1st Stop 11 Pieces

And if this works I'll still have quite a bit of time left to run on tuesday!
