    I don’t mind. Took a whole ten minutes to get me loaded. Took me longer to stop the truck, walk to the S/R Office, check in, maneuver their small lot and bump the dock then it did them to drop one pallet. I felt them back there and then got the green light. I was like WTF??? Yup, done.

    Splitting it off in CB for local to drop on Monday in the Omaha area. Heck, they could deliver it with the shop truck… lol

    Drop CB in the morning then grabbing a load to Albuquerque for Monday 0700. First time ever going to Albuquerque. I used to drive through it in a Green Truck but never stopped.

    The mpg I got today is the best I have gotten yet so we'll see. They are the sailun s768 tire lp 22.5 $299.99 I got the 11r22.5 tires to match my steers, and they seem to ride pretty smooth a little bit like a hankook brand new needs to be broken in good.

    Awesome. Seems my EFS Card has hit that “nope, it no work” issue going around. {sigh}

    Finishing some accounting for last month, I was curious what my YTD costs were for maintenance/repairs/ tires $37,300.10. Yowza!

    You can’t get there via Paseo Del Norte even if it seems like you can.

    Take exit 233 for Alameda Blvd and go west on that street to Jefferson and turn left. Go south on Jefferson and you’ll turn right on the frontage road right before the highway. You’ll follow that down all the way to the guard shack

    Please excuse my crude graphic IMG_2868.jpeg

    The cost of maintaining these trucks has sky rocketed since the pandemic. Some shops are charging $200 an hour for a labor rate. The thrill is gone!
