    I know sections of I40 needed attention but I don’t remember it being so “bouncy” … I hit several sections where I’d up to the top of the seat and then come slamming down hitting the floor dang hard. Like a freaking rollercoaster.

    Not “bad road” with potholes and patches, just very wavy or something.
     
    Friend and Knucklehead Thank this.

    That’s all I use during rush hour. I fly right past traffic out of town no problem at all

    This Broker Load feels like they know they hire incompetent people and then double up on every safety measure possible to off set it. So slow and duplicate information needed/provides etc.

    some days… {sigh}
    had several good solid days
    so I was most certainly due

    stay safe

    Mine runs now whenever the truck is off and the bunk temperature gets above the set point. They turned off the shut off timer when they were troubleshooting it and I haven’t been ambitious enough to dig through the menus and fix it. I just manually turn it off when I go home or if it’s being a nuisance.

    It starts to run after stopping the engine but after I changed it to cold it stopped randomly starting stopping

    Feel a bit like a Windshield wiper. Came out of the house and took a load from Richmond Indiana to Olathe, KS. Just finished a round trip from the KC lot to West Jefferson, Ohio and back again. So I’ve made 3 treks across 36/72 to 74 to 70. Today was a long day (10 hours, 58 minutes drive time) but the only really profound bit of bad luck was when I scaled the load at the new Love’s next to the Mars DC first the Weigh my truck app insisted that the Cat Scale I was sitting on did not in fact exist so I had to do it the Stone Age way. When I got inside the clerk had loaded the blank scale tickets in the printer upside down so it looked a bit goofy, neither he nor his boss could reprint it (every time they tried it said it was zero pounds) finally I thanked them for their troubles and took the upside down one.

    I’ll take that for my daily bit of bad luck.

    Forgot to mention I have escaped my ping pong table, next load goes to Victorville. I’ve been spoiled with all drop and hooks this week so I am sure my turn is coming for some more fun.

    Dropped in Belton this evening and deadheaded to the yard. Got my paperwork done so payroll doesn't ##### at me.

    Too tired to drive anymore tonight so I'll sleep here then hop in the car whenever I wake up and head home. Not sure when I'll be back out
