Indian River

####... That's a bummer... Hopefully that changes next year.

 

You mentioned that you didn't use a "Trucker GPS" so maybe that's why, your Apple Map probably send you to a road that's not meant for trucks lol.

 

Oh man, I got a load that I love, wish I had loads like that all the time lol. I went out on Wednesday last week, have me a nice load from Jacksonville FL ( Came from Port Saint Lucie btw ) to Houston TX, delivered that Friday, then I deadheaded to Pryor OK, for a load to Mount Holly NC, nice 1200 miles load, I'm gonna deliver that tomorrow. That's an easy load, it's paper rolls, 8 big paper roll from one plant to another plant, that's what they wrap the sheetrock with, 99% of the time, it's ready and pre-tarp, you just throw a few straps, tight it down real tight, then hit the road, that load will not go anywhere. Honestly if I could do that as a dedicated route, I'd give them another year, I took I-40E from OKLAHOMA, crossed two states, get to North Carolina, then take I-26E, take I-85 North ramp, now I'm about 46 miles from Mount Holly, parked at a love. I-40 was alright, two of you guys passed me on there, I was jealous as hell lol!! One of the reasons I don't like driving on the mountains and the big hills, because of my slow *ss truck. You guys go to California right? I head the mountains on the east coast is nothing compare to the ones on the west, how is it overthere?
Also, How do you guys run your clock, I try to be on-duty for about 8-9hrs a day, specially when I'm going out in the middle of week like Wednesday, so I don't take a 34 next Wednesday, right now I have about 17hr, gonna slip that for tomorrow and Wednesday, then run on my recap, do you guys run your clock down or are you guys more careful with it and stuff?

 

Man, yeah, Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, too bad them roads are narrow and tight as hell, I took this road once with my trainer, that was my second week driving a truck too, 53' feet, 49,000 lbs of sheetrocks on my trailer... Thank God I was with my trainer that day, cause taking this freaking road prepared me a little bit for all the crazy roads that I've took since, still, I wouldn't take this again even for $1M, Highway 156 in Tennessee, right before you take I-24, you go through the blue bridge and after that, may God be with you... I'll never forget this hell ( road )... Never Again LMAO!!!

 

Here's a little hill for you. 4000 ft elevation drop in about 12 miles. We used to go off it 5 times a day hauling logs.

 

That looks like all kinds of fun.

 

####... That looks like a snake game... Couldn't pay me!!

 

Lol!! Yup!
