Cobra was taken... By Holland Enterprises

4-5 weeks unless I have something going on and need to use the 3 week minimum occasionally. I'm not too worried about burnout, I think that's mainly a problem with the guys that like to have a 34 every week and don't want to run continuously on recaps, since Holland likes their drivers to run on recaps. I prefer running on recaps. If you pace yourself just right every day is a short day, especially when you get the really long hauls. I also asked about the home time and they said they can give you more time off sometimes as long as you're getting your miles in. I figured I'll see how they feel about me taking an extra day or two on holidays when the time comes and I'll make sure to report back here.

I wouldn't say that lol. I'm gonna have to get used to it. Despite what I said, it is a little different than an APU, I will admit. Even though it woke me up once last night, I still slept pretty good. Holland supplies the drivers with very nice thick mattresses and I'm loving it. Bunk heater was keeping me nice and warm too even though it got down to I think about 7° last night where I parked in Wisconsin.

 

Nope. It's completely your choice if you'd rather shut down.

 

By the way, my inverter did beep when the truck turned on this morning. I looked into this because I don't want it beeping when the truck turns on while I'm sleeping. This is how you disable the beep when the truck starts: on the inverter control panel press select until the screen shows "AL1". Then, hold the power button until the "AL1" starts flashing. Press select and it should change to AL0. Then, hold the select button for 5 seconds. That's it. Your audible low voltage alarm is now turned off.

P.S. if you don't have the inverter control panel in your sleeper it's on the inverter itself

 

Got empty in Wilkesboro this morning and deadheaded to Fayetteville for a 6pm appointment tomorrow. I figured it doesn't hurt to try and get loaded early so I did, but unfortunately they turned me away. The load is going to Denton, TX. 175 empty miles, 1206 loaded.

 

That's kinda what I'm thinking. I might get layover pay for it too

 

Getting a little slippery in Fayetteville. I slipped a little walking to the bathroom this morning, didn't fall though lol hopefully this clears up and I can start heading west after I get loaded tonight
