Ya. Only one driver even acknowledged I was there. As I watched them all slip on the remaining ice in the drop lot.

Mountain mode???? I'm glad chralb clarified that. I was looking for it in my truck then realized it was "manual". Had this old timer going for a while.
On my way home. I have to drop this trailer at the Publix my wife and I shop at 2 miles from the house.......on Monday. I'll be home about 8 tonight. My wife got my Christmas present all taken care of, I get a colonoscopy on Thursday!
My end of year review of the company, the job, and other things pertinent about Abilene will be coming while I'm home, with this pay period that just ended, our year is over. I asked Bill to run my miles for the calendar year, I almost passed out when he printed it out, 204,597 miles.Lonesome, Redtwin, MidWest_MacDaddy and 2 others Thank this. -
Unreal! Dropped my truck at the yard Friday. Wrote it up at 7:20pm for it's needs. As of this morning (just called them) all I got is ... "It's been seen but not ready yet". It's been seen??? What, seen parked in the yard??? LOL
Pretty amazing lack of effort when you have a guy ready and willing to run over Christmas, lot's of freight dispatch is desperately trying to cover (getting calls asking where I am), and a shop that isn't that busy.
I was told to call back at 12:30 as they're "hoping to be ready this afternoon". Even though I woke up at 4:30am, I'm sure they'll want me running as soon as it's done (probably tonight).
Guess I better switch myself into 24 hour mode ... again.MidWest_MacDaddy, 4mer trucker and JohnBoy Thank this. -
And hey, not bad for a newbie, won't be long and you'll be getting that special "million miler" jacket... -

The various trucker GPSes have a "fastest route" setting and a "shortest route" setting. I need one with a "least stressful route" setting. The QC GPS loooooves to route me down Main Street, Small Town USA, with lots of narrow lanes and sharp turns. Puts me right on edge, it does.
460/580 and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.
