OTR with the Carolina Kid

Preciate that info Ryeman, I didn't know that. Well they got my truck in the shop around 6pm Thursday and it finally got out about 6pm Friday. Had the B service tookin care of and they literally found a whole page of stuff wrong with it. So hopefully everything is good now. My dispatcher called me when I was in the shop and said he was shootin me a pre plan for the wknd when I got to rolling. Picked up at WPG in Neenah about 11 30pm last night and its a 3 stopper headed to Jacksonville and a final just south of there. Rite now at Mt. Vernon TA and will be back at it early in the am. Hope everyone's doin good

 

I can say nothing but good things so far about the company. I love being on my own and doin my own thing, that was the hardest part for me when it came to bein with a trainer. Mileage wise, it varies. Most weeks im around 3000 if not more. This week I'm goin to have 3200 and that's with me Sitten in Richfield a day and a half. Man what coulda been, lol

 

Ways up guys, had 3 deliveries in Jacksonville this mornin and my final was a hour south of there. I was sweating bullets backing in there because its one of these where u have to block the road to get in. That's road was a US hwy so it was kind of nerveracking. Got a load out of there picking up in dothan, Alabama and taking it to Walmart DC in Gas City, Ind. Was suppose to pick up between 4pm and 10pm tonight but my 14 ran out at 6 30pm. Let dispatch know that it would be mornin before I could get it and they said 10-4. Called customer and they said they would have to work me in tommorow. So I'm goin to be pretty irritated if they decide to make me wait half the day, but hopefully it won't come to that. Hope yall are doin good

 

Wats up everybody. Today drove from Indy to eau claire. Stopped by BRF to chat and meet my permanent dispatcher. Seemed like a real nice guy.. While I was there found out that my beloved T2 is on the trading block. They gave me a couple trucks to pick from and I went with the freightliner cascadia. Drives totally different than the kenworth but has tons of room. Also has the super singles and e logs. Really looking forward to learning this truck. Currently sitting at the holiday travel plaza outside Menards in eau claire. Hope everyones having a good week

 

Hey guys just thought I'd give a update. After dropping my Menards load got a load picking up in Chippewa Falls going to Eden. Prolly one of my favorite runs, I've did it one time before. Got loaded pretty quick and started trucking and noticed my truck was skipping and sputtering going up the hills, so I drove it up to BRF to let a mechanic look at it. He said he wasnt sure what was causing it but replaced the fuel filter and it hasnt done it since. While I was up there chatted with Bear a bit, always a pleasure to talk to ya man. I couldnt talk him into any Chinese. I think seeing that guy at the Nashville TA has him scared of buffet's now, lol. Left there and drove to Lake Station TA. I only had 3.75 hours I could drive saturday so I drove to TA in Eaton, OH. Then today drove on down here to Eden, got to Miller and they said there not accepting beer today and told me just to drop it in the yard. Never heard that one before but whatever they say. Out of hours for the day, so right now im at the house doing some laundry. Also on my Freightliner my jake's not working or cruise. Im thinking about just letting it stay that way, so I get more practice running thru the mountains without them. Hope everyone had a good weekend and a nice week on miles
