Millis OTR journal

Says that you can remain contagious for 10 days from onset, as long as you're not running a fever, or immuno-compromised; or up to 20 days if you still have severe symptoms. As long as you're not still running a fever, you should be fine.

 

Had to move into a new truck this week. Any other week it would have been fine. Anyway. Table is gone which is a first for me. Took my old table for granted. Electronic dash is taking some getting used too. Suspension gauge is the big issue. Old truck as long as I was below 70 psi I knew drives were fine. This electronic thing what a cluster. Took the advice of someone whose been in a new truck for a couple months. They couldn’t have been more wrong! Had to weight 3 times at Molson. Fuel gauge just sits at 99.5 gallons. Seems to eat the DEF at a faster rate. Engine brake works down to 15 mph I like that. The engine is quieter, and very little vibration when idling.
Apparently the adaptive cruise control hates sunny clear days because it keeps shutting off. Saying radar is blocked. New camera system sort of freaks me out because it seems that it is always on. Sure it works like the old one, but the constant green light takes some getting used too. Radio Interface seems better than the old one. Much easier to change stations.
Covid still kicking my ###. Swear I’m worse off today than on Monday when I came out.

 

Most importantly hope you start feeling better. I know some people who have had it and it knocks the stuffing out of a lot of people to say the least.

I can't understand how not having a suspension gauge is anything but penny wise pound foolish. I skipped spending money and time on scale tickets A LOT when I worked there with the suspension gauge in my truck. I didn't just go by the gauge but also based on overall weight and how the trailer was loaded. If I wasn't confident I would scale it.

 

It has a suspension gauge it’s no longer a dial it’s electronic on the dash. I believe anything over 65 is going to be overweight on drives. Not really confident with that number yet going to take a few more loads to nail it down.

 

Ok. Before I left the new trucks coming in did not have the gauges like Heartland trucks. When you mentioned the suspension gauge issue I assumed you meant because it was missing.

 

Im not superstitious but if I was, I would say all the signs are pointing to looking for a new opportunity. Past couple months it hasn’t been any one thing. Can’t even say it’s Millis. Just one fricking thing after another. No one is going out of their way to make things difficult but dang I can’t remember when I strung together several good days.
When I first started I made sure I would not judge any one day, week or month but at this point it’s now going into multiple months. Talk about frustration. Maybe I got lucky the first 3 years and now everything is falling at once to even things up. I can’t explain it.

 

Sitting on the side of the road in Indiana waiting for a tow. Truck has 4500 miles. Derated.

 

Andddddd people wonder why I own 2 2006 trucks with over 1.5mil miles….. that’s sucks man hopefully it’s not 1 of these parts that is on a major back order

 

Thank you big corporations for having nearly everything that used to made in the USA now made in China.

 

Congrats on owning not one but 2 trucks. You should post more so we can see how you are doing!!!
