    Nah, just been getting home regularly and paying the price. The good thing for me has been my weight loss. I got really fat from the standard trucker diets you can call it STD’s if you want. LOL. Getting my truck paid off and having full control of my schedule has allowed me to get more active and actually stay on keto. I’ve lost about 40lbs that I put on while being a company driver. I’ve also have a newfound humility at Jiu-Jitsu where I get slaughtered every time I show up. It’s nothing important (said to me in a Brazilian accent) “Otter, you’re doing well you’re just weak, slow, old, and inflexible.” Ooooh that’s all. I’ll work on that.

    this is the kind of screenshots you get when you have friends.

    Isn’t this the thing drivers/companies vote on for themselves? It sounds very prestigious. I bet we drivers get a lower % we pay, and increased fuel discounts. LOL

    I wonder were the orange trucks were on the list? @Opus :D

    I’m about a million pages behind. I opened it, saw that I had two weeks of reading and promptly closed it and had a nap.

    I’m having a fun time in Denver btw. Just like a day at the beach in the movie “The day after tomorrow.”

    Flipflops and short's here in Florida.

    But that's no excuse for forgetting your roots. Skip some pages and don't let the OM know. But get your arse home to WIIS.

    My orange truck is more focused on driving between south GA and Florida........watching the mayhem in the midwest wilest munching on a PB&J freshly made the night before by the Hazul to be concerned with a silly, rigged, and clearly not factual in any way whatsoever 'contest'.
    But, congratulations nevertheless.
