    Well said.

    Like some Drivers hate Autos and other Drivers hate safety bells and whistles, I have a serious aversion to installing everyone’s apps on my person tech. I don’t even like most of the apps I do have on my phones due to tracking issues. :)

    Got back in the truck yesterday after a weekend with the kids. My son and I have been watching the James Bond movies when he comes over. We polished off Moonraker this weekend.

    First load assignment was a short hop to New Jersey, delivering at 7:00am this morning in Monroe. Spent the night at the Bordentown Petro, arrived bright and early at the receiver. They had a sign informing all and sundry that drivers are required to wait inside the building or else they won't be unloaded. Fortunately, that turned out to be incorrect, and I sat in my truck while they unloaded.

    From there, drove to Tremont, PA, to pick up a pre-loaded trailer at a Big Lots! DC. Delivers at 6:00am tomorrow morning in Lynchburg, VA, at one of their stores. Currently parked in their parking lot after confirming with the manager that I can park here tonight and not get booted/towed.

    These Big Lots! trailers are floor loaded. If you get one, expect to be in the receiver's dock for a while.

    Got to the yard last night with 27 minutes left on my 70. Doing a reset. Truck is in the shop for 10 new tires, new shocks, alignment, new windshield, and new thermostats that are on recall. Right now I’m up at Waffle House. Let me tell you, you take your life in your hands walking up Willis Rd from the yard to here.
