    I'm in Nevada IA. Delivering this load of frozen chicken (I'm a chicken hauler now.. lol) Looks like a short day today 200 miles. They are are looking to load me out tomorrow letting my hours to do some needed catching up. Working on heading home at the end of the month. Fingers crossed!
     
    Bumper and Vic Firth Thank this.

    So i joined Shipex mile off contest this month for the fun of it. We compete against each other to see which one gets the most miles in the month. The winners get their truck turned up and some other stuff like t shirts or hat. Kinda cool. Makes it interesting. Anyway I'm lucky this month so far leading by about 2000 miles against my rival. Yay!

    Well my home time has been extended.....I was unloading my truck at the Fernley Flying J and I slipped and fell out of my truck onto the pavement. Not a good thing. I have a bruised up right knee, left ribs and shoulder. Broke my watch too. Called work and let them know. Hopefully workmans comp will cover it since I was in a company vehicle when it happened. My health insurance does not kick in until August 1st. We shall see.....

    Its turned up to 70 mph permanently, unless you screw up somehow. Presently our trucks do 62 on the pedal and 66 on cruise.
