    Cold drafts up the bath robe? And I'm too cheap to crank the heat.

    No, this was on the right side of eb 40.

    The trailer said "Big Rig Training" or something like that. I wasn't too focused on the tlr.

    Maybe I'll try looking it up later.

    Yes but shouldnt they at least be achievable? I wouldn't want him to set himself up for failure.

    I hate Freightliner doors. Been working on Drivers for 5 hrs. New latches and striker posts. All new seals last year. Doors close tight now. What a difference. Both doors pretty much everything’s new. They should work flawlessly for a couple years, if I’m Lucky. Lol.

    There is one aspect of doing flatbed that has its drawbacks. I don’t mind the working outside in all types of weather. Kind of take it as a challenge. It’s getting ready to go work in 0 degree, snow, ice and wind that is the biggest problem. So your in your warm truck, you start getting ready to go out and work, first you put on the silks, then the thermals, pants, shirt, boots, jacket, get your gloves and it happens, You gotta PEeeeeee, and right now. Not later, now.

    I love working for a great company...

    My wife is having pregnancy complications and has been in the hospital. Baby will Definetally be early... Maybe require a c-section. I was homeward boumd when I foumd out, but the load I had needed to be dropped in UT before I could go home to ID. So I got ahold of my boss and explaimed the situation and that I wanted to get home ASAP. He said "Just head back here to the yard, I will see if I can find someone with a load coming straight back here that you can switch with. If you dont hear from me just come home with the load you have."

    I'm currently parked for the night... I will be switching loads with another driver in about an hour or so once he catches up to me. These are the kind of things GOOD companies make happen.
