    So I bid on a new route and I start tomorrow on my new route. New customers new scenery new truck had to give up my new Volvo because of logistical issues so now I'm back into my own truck. Anyhow once I get it down it should be good.

    Cool, a change of scenery is a good thing sometimes.

    I started my new bid this week also, took completely different stuff than last time. Change of scenery keeps me sharp. Lol.

    So here it is, I had my first Monday 107 miles 860 cases. It was actually a very very smooth day night and day difference from downtown C-Town which is what I used to do on Monday. Today I was in Columbia Station and Grafton, LaGrange and Strongsville, Ohio. I passed by the world famous Strongsville, Ohio KFC where @truck_guy has been known to deliver on various bids.

    This route was good money just in case commissions! It was a pretty good day if you ask me. No steps, no elevators no backing into parking garages and swinging it around a poll and into some goofy dock, none of that none of that at all. It might be my favorite day of the week. Tomorrow is going to be harder, but today was good. No complaints at all good money, pretty smooth sailing over all.
    Here's my new truck this was taken out in LaGrange,Ohio:

    Out of curiosity, is it a weight issue that keeps you in a twin screw?

    That was only one bid, and it will never happen again o_O

    Not sure I've ever seen a single axle GFS tractor.
