    This is where I would seriously look at what they have to offer. As opposed to a mega, ur boss NEEDS to have trucks and drivers that are dependable and on time EVERY day. IF you buy a truck from him there is NO reason he would want you to fail. As a small company it would be a failure for him as well.

    Why? Because 68 is COLD for many folks... I keep my heater at 78... Yes sir! :yes2557: Anything colder than that is not agreeable for me... :biggrin_25512:
    Remember, I am from BRASIL.... a nice warm tropical country... and I am 100 lbs... no fat to keep my bones warm... :biggrin_25512:
     
    FatDaddy Thanks this.

    Achieved my "goal" which was to park at this service plaza in NJ a few miles from receiver...
    That I-68 from WV thru MD to I-81 SUCKS... specially if you are heavy.... Glad the road was dry...
    Was too exhausted yesterday... After two small cheese pizzas and 2 side salads I collapsed in bed and woke up only when my back started hurting from laying in bed...
    The weather totally sucks... :biggrin_2552:

    It has been raining hard and it will stay like that all day long... Great time for my 34 reset... :yes2557:
    Motorists are being advised to avoid going out today... A lot of accidents, vehicles slip and sliding due to black ice... And now a lot of fog on the road too... :biggrin_2552: I don't see many vehicles out there.... :biggrin_25512:
    Taking care of stuff here in the truck... not going out... not even for restroom... have all I need inside my "shell" here...
    Hopefully temp will warm up some tomorrow... After delivery tomorrow will reload nearby and head to Colorado

    You know, I love my dispatchers, the miles and some other things... but I am getting very tired of the places we go... these CH Robinson loads, these muddy and cluttered yards and difficult small docking areas... some look like dumps...
