    The Mack is actually a little bigger than the Prostar. Just doesn't seem that way since you cant stand all the way up between the seats. I told Mac I might need to take the passenger seat out of my new Mack to make room for my Coleman cooler. He said fine just have the shop store it so they can put it back in before retiring it. Wound up getting my cooler to work in the passenger seat. It just barely keeps from blocking my mirror with the seat all the way down. I took the bunk curtains down and use a heat shield on the windshield for privacy what I shut down. That makes it feel a bit bigger.

    The other day as I parked on fuel island I went into sleeper to grab a jacket, as I went to exit I hit my head so hard on that fricking ceiling thing I had to lay down in bed to get my bearings back before pumping fuel. True story

    I'm sitting at la guardia . Waited 2.5 hours before I could start unloading. Now it's a 3" hose to their 2" hose, which has a kink in it before the top of the tank. Going to be a while. In a way it makes no difference, I would drive slow in the NYC traffic if I left now.

    I'm a bigger cherry to trucking than you, and I'm figuring it out, (work/life balance), as I go. I've lived in a Hummer for months at a time with 2 other dudes, so the truck isn't that bad when I put it into perspective. Lol

    Congrats on the pay raise

    I’m going back to work tomorrow to load at 1400, that same load I did when I started out 9 days ago, that load that delivers to osh kosh, WI, . I want to get on one of their out and back runs but I think they all taken permanently. So I will be back in markum Monday evening I’m guessing after unloading. Maybe I will grab that Florida run again. That run pays way less miles than u drive but I liked it. That Florida run shouldn’t ever deliver below 100 degrees though, I had it 87 and it took me 4 hours atleast. They use a pump now and wouldn’t let me put air on top of it. Their pump must suck

    Lol.. I lived in a hummer for many months, unless we went on foot, which didn’t always turn out great. I got 3 bullet holes that proves hummer was better :)

    You got in after me and I didn’t get dispatched today. Might be Sunday before I get back out on dedicated. I love the slow time of year. Haven’t seen it yet.
     
    Mortarmaggot and 77fib77 Thank this.

    I don’t mind working that’s for sure, had to cancel my oil change at ford dealer I scheduled tomorrow, most I’m gonna stay out is a week I hope. I got a whole bunch lights in today to mount up on my pickup truck. It will have to wait.

    Oh yeah I’m really liking the new company, just looked at what I made for my first partially worked week at superior, I started Wednesday morning and somehow made 1425 bucks, not bad for 5 days. :) very satisfied driver here
