    Not many loads out of MN either.
    I had a load offer that had me picking up at 2100 tonight, but since I would not even have time for a 10 before or after the pickup I ignored it.

    After I delivered I took a 30 at the Costco, then my DM sent me a load.
    Empty 425 miles back to Morris, IL for another Costco load going back to MN - 408 loaded miles.

    It is nice being mt for 450 miles. I have had nothing but heavy loads since I got this truck.
    But this ProStar is much better with heavy loads than the Cascadia.

    fontana ca at shipper.
    made that load early on Friday.
    only had less than 2 hrs left on 14 so stayed at jurupa terminal.
    got to Miller in Irwindale at 0630 and left around 1100.
    took them 3 tries to get tandem legal.
    stopped in misquote nv at flying j for 30 break and scale the load.
    speaker wasn't working so had to walk in. took 15 minutes to do that .
    let other driver I be in beaver in the morning since i won't make it. might get to cedar city......... not!!!!!.
    blew a trailer tire in the gorge and limped 3 miles to ex 18.
    parked it at 1830 and sent Mac 55 since I had no phone service.
    took them.2 hrs to respond.back and the tire guy showed up around 2315.
    tire also blew the mudflaps off and bent the bracket. tire guy didn't have a mudflaps but was able to bend back the bracket which was loose.
    went to bed around 0030 and left around 6 to get out of gorge so I could call on road to get mudflaps.
    they sent me to same company that showed up in st George ut and was done in half an hour.
    got to beaver aroumd 1000 and switch load which I Tcalled in jurula last nite.
    no hrs left so I am here to grab this load to head back.

    That is one heck of a day.

    We can get hotter tho..... I actually do kind of wish that the average temperature would raise like 10 degrees so people would move away from Vegas but.... You know dreams

    Move to a city and then dream you're the only one that lives in it lol

    Use the Cat Scale App and you will never have to go inside, use the speaker or talk to anyone. The screen on the app will display your weights long enough to see them all and email you a copy that looks just like the printed ticket. If you want a hard copy you do have to go in and they just hand it to you. I very rarely go inside and I'm in and out very quickly. The whole scale process takes less than a minute and then you can leave.

    I have not used said app in over 4 years.

    Have They changed it so that a split axel weigh is possible?

    Cause if it does that now ill reinstall it.

    You know what man. Didn't think of the flatbed split axle issue. I forgot you pull one of them. I do not know the answer to that. It displays like it always has so I'm guessing not unless there is something you can do in the settings.

    I see so many non flatbed drivers doing it the hard way I figured I'd suggest that app but probably won't work for you.
