An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Plus your truck is married to the same trailer so if you get a good one(or get it worked on so it is a good one), you get to keep it that way and not adopt someone elses defects that never got written up.

 

This weeks settlement is in, and it is no longer being processed by Roadmaster, it's coming from Wylie now. And, I underestimated my miles for the month, once I empty out in south FL on Wednesday, I will have just cracked the 12k threshold. Not bad considering how many 34's I had waiting on freight.

 

This is going to be one of my longest trips since I started here. Going from the Seattle area all the way down north of Homestead...3463 loaded miles...to quote McDonald's "baaaa da dat da daaa, I'm lovin it'

 

I took a closer look at my final delivery. It's not north of Homestead, it's just south of Homestead. This will be the farthest south I have ever driven in my career. The only way to go farther south would be go to the Keys, or take a ferry to Cuba and deliver aircraft parts to Gitmo.

 

I breezed thru the driver forum video from last week and this week, I heard it mentioned that they're getting a different brand of APU, I heard them say 'like the Carrier system we currently have'...what brand are they going to? Or are they gonna do that KW battery pack crap that so many companies have tried and moved away from because drivers hate it so much.

 

Me too. The only ones I ever had issues with were the ones Crete tried, but didn't do adequate maintenance with. I was kinda hoping they were gonna try the Green APU....but any of them are better than the EPU battery pack crap.

With 135k on my truck, I suspect it will be quite a while before I see a new truck, so we may be solar powered by the time it's my turn.
