Ran WA14 today from I205 to US97. Didn't feel like going over the mountain on US12 or running I84 all the way and dozing off and also didn't want to enter Oregon on I82 and have to get off at that PITA scale at the I82/US70 (and having to go through that traffic signal twice!)
The only open scale I hit was the Boise scale and they were busy getting ready to do an anal exam on a set of FedEx triples.
I'm guessing due to that wreck in Orlando making national news, they're getting special attention.
I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

Sooo, I'm curious about you all...
Anyone ever heard of the Meyer Briggs Type Indicator?
If you know what you are, and don't mind sharing, I'm curious what most of us are...
If you don't know...

Longer (potentially more accurate.)
Shorter (maybe not as accurate.)

I flip flop constantly (and often register equally) as both an INTP and INTJ.
Basically means I constantly absorb information for the sake of learning and analysis, but also to create a personal model of the world as a bigger picture; I have strong tendencies to come across as arrogant and cold. Socially awkward, but among like-minded or understanding individuals it is easy to fall in.
Anyways...I'm at my first shipper. Almost got situated in the wrong dock, but thankfully an employee spotted me and told me where the correct dock was. In these malls, sometimes it's not easy finding the right dock. Not only are they often unlabelled, but the builders often try to group the docks together to maximize parking space for customers.
Gotta wait another 10 minutes and I'll go knock on their door.
Nervous about tomorrow...TruckDuo Thanks this. -

First day in the 579..no comparison,to the Kenworth...sad.

Ill never buy any peterbilt product...ever!
A Freightliner would probably spank this POS! -
I dunno... Seems like you to me. -
as always a "company driver" myself, i drive what is provided.
i clearly remember what a driver instructor told the class, back in the day when i went to school.
"give me an older truck, AND the money, over a new truck, and NO money, any day".
not too many of us knew what he meant, till he explained it.
once i started working, i then knew full well. to this day, i'd rather have an older truck.
not saying i'll refuse a new one, but i just would not push the new truck issue, like so many wannabe's, newbie, or rookies seem to say here on these boards.
maybe in time, they will have the light bulb above thier head, light up..???
