    Starting to feel like the good ole days. Got up, took my shower and I am sitting here sipping a fresh cup of Folgers waiting for my 10 hour clock to end so I can get to my PTI and start my day...10 hours off duty is just way too much time.

    Most definitely a random. They figure you might be too old to be running those type of miles.

    Now that you talked about it, you're gonna get a tire blowout that will delay your ability to get 5000 miles in the week...

    Nice day to be fueling up in Lincoln lol. eight trucks deep this is highly unusual rarely is it ever like that at all most likely due to the guy doing the inspections today at the fuel pumps

    Not quite a blowout but, this is what I discovered on my posttrip.

    It must have been on the down side when I did my walk around after my drop and hook. The outside tire doesn't have any flatspots anywhere, so it must have been replaced instead of just clocked to move a flatspot to a different position. So, since I am doing a 34, I will let Love's put a new maypop on so I don't stick it to the next guy...or get caught in an inspection with a bad tire.


    When I leave home, I reset my main trip odometer. I left home on 9/4. Today (10/3) this is how many miles I have driven

    PXL_20261003_202549413.jpg


    And based on the nag-a-gator miles for this trip, my driven miles will be a couple dozen miles under the paid miles again. That's 5 out the last 6 loads where my actual miles are under the paid. Winner winner, steak dinner :biggrin_2559:

    But if they don't pay you what you are owed on time then you are quitting, right?
