    Delivery to a new construction Cracker Barrel. There’s no obvious truck entrance to the site. Guess I wait til the crew shows up in the morning. At least it’s not freezing

    I moved into a new truck this week. I didn’t know what the fan thing was outside the back of the cab. I guess it’s part of the opti idle to keep the comfort level good without actually starting the engine. Seems to do ok. The bunk flip into a table and seats is neat but I’ll never use. I do like the wider space between the seats and the windshield curtains.

    Made it from Little Rock back to Michigan. Back to the freeze line. We don’t get hurricanes

    I’ve been to this nestle water plant countless times. Each time it seems to get bigger or expand.

    Made it home at 1130pm last night. It’s like -4 outside. I’ll be happy when above freezing is the norm

    Ok. I love technology and all but having to open up my phone to let every unknown caller come through because they’ll call me when it’s done is annoying

    I delivered in an older industrial area in NJ. Asked receiver if it was OK to park overnight. They said the cops will chase me out. I said so it's illegal. They said no, the cops just don't want to deal with the body in the morning.
     
    Feedman and FullMetalJacket Thank this.
