    Well I've had to go 7 miles this morning.
    And I'm at a place that's really sensitive to the needs of drivers with about 6 trucks ahead of me.
    Budweiser. Lol. I shall now take my nap.

    Sweet! The 13 speed I drove for 5 years was my favorite transmission. Are you used to it yet?

    My first two years were 13 speeds. I think it's the same truck I had at CRE 11 years ago. 505 HP though, she'll go.

    I'm up to 35 right now, being loaded to take back to the yard. Just went over 8 hours.
    Guess that's around $4.50/mile. Not bad for a company driver.
    Think I have one run after this though.
    Budweiser took 4 hours.
    Then had to get this trailer super cleaned over by the J, that took 2 hours.
    Been here close to two hours.

    I only got to drive a 13 once, and not for long enough to figure out which selection of the red switch is which. :confused:

    We call that the training switch.
    Today was 13.5 hours too, but like 75 miles.
