New Career ... From the beginning.

This has nothing to do with the current topic...although...I guess everything has been said on that topic.... I stopped in Ashtabula, Ohio Pilot to fill up. I only had an hour left on y clock...and need a shower...so I decided to stop here for the night. I pulled up next to a truck...didnt pay much attention...but it's a big old Pete....evidently no bunk heater...or generator....cuz its been idleing for a couple of hours now...and it's really loud. I'd move to a other spot,,,,but...it's a full house, and I'd never find another place

 

Heres a copy of my facebook post tonight...i thought you guys might find it interesting.
I find myself right in the middle of consumer America. As a truck driver for Schneider, I've carried products from and to some of America's best known and trusted companies. Today I was at a Ford plant....I carried a whole bunch of car roofs from the stamping plant to the place where they prep and prime them. Let's see, other big names...Johnson &Johnson, Proctor&Gamble, Oscar Meyer, Campbell Soup, General Mills. I just find it very interesting! Oh...I ran out of time, so I had to park my truck in an abandoned supermarket parking lot. There's a sign that forbids overnight parking for tractor trailers...but I have no choice. I hope the police turn a blind eye...I can't (by DOT law) move the truck until 5:30 tomorrow morning.

 

The fumes aren't so bad...I had my vents open all night...and, really the noise wasn't so bad....I can sleep thru just about anything.

 

I think you are a lucky guy...she seems like a great girl. Stay in touch...well probably cross paths again

 

I KNOW this is nonsense ...but here's what I've been thinking. I'm pulling 40000 pounds of plastic pellets to the Poland Springs ....spring. They'll make plastic bottles and fill them with water. So, I wondered how many plastic bottles can they make with the pellets I take them. Wiki says o e bottle weighs .027998 oz...so...I think that translates to 1.4 MILLION bottles....yikes!
