Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Well thank ya coal.. Ill have to pick that up, I was in a car accident when I was a teen.. It did many things.. It also fractured my jaw to a point it needed to be surgically fixed and my insurance wouldn't pay.. So my teeth crowd together and after a few months of getting one pulled.. The one beside it has rubbed a hole in itself, thus causing me pain.

So awesome.. New guys!! I have a perfectly new-to-you-used 09 w9.. Ill be willing to let you take over my lease.. Ill throw in some toilet tissue and vodca for ya if you take it over... Hahahaha!! So are ya'll still getting 450 a week for training pay and stayin out a min of 28 days?

 

you must REALLY want that 386....they also have some brand new volvos... literally!I saw a brand new 780 and a couple 670s

 

In MT Vernon Il for the night. Wondering if I'm gonna have to deliver this to WVC myself? But I'm happy to get as far away from the CDF as possible so as to escape the gravity pull.

So I have no idea where I'm really going beyond where I'm at right now.

 

What's with these new guys getting new trucks? When I upgraded I got a '82 cabover with 5,000,000mi, no A/C, broken windows, and smelled like a skunk died in the engine bay.

Hey DM... repower my load and you'll get to WVC quicker.

 

You are lying your rear off there Boot lol.
You probably got a newer truck than I did. Since every truck I used when at Central was traded before you got there.

 

Maybe that was my assigned truck in the military? Got a bad memory ya know. My first truck was a '09 W9 with 85k on her, tinted windows, shiny chrome and a few chicken lights. #### lot lizards wouldn't stop knockin on the door.

Now I got a '10 prostar with a bar and a gun rack in the sleeper.

What I really want is that truck in "Duel"!

Well... n/w has unimpressed me again. Sometime between yesterday and today they forgot this load needs a repower to deliver ontime. Surely there's a truck near southern IL that would love a 1450 mile load before Wednesday.

Oh... now I remember what I was licensed for:
15T tractor w/50ft trailer endorsement. Was an '90 GMC daycab. Olive drab green with brown splotches, would do 55, 56 freewheelin downhill on ice with a tailwind. (never ever 57)
5T, 2.5T, HMMWV, 1.25T 4x4, 37 pass bus, forklift, hazmat and ammo endorsements, small boat coxswain, conning officer and OOD underway for FFG and CG, license examiner, and motorcycle safety instructor.

 

Ya.. I kinda want a 386.. But I really just want my truckv to get in the mid 7's like my buddy boot.. Because I like my w9.. I love it when its all shined up.. And when I get done.. Ill hav e polished tanks and rims.. Nice wing vent covers.. One of those cool chrome rear light covers.. Maybe a few chicken lights.. Then when I head over to jct.. Ill take it all off and put it on my w9 there...

 

Yay... got a repower!!! And still a 3000mi week. Now I'll be able to restock the bar and armory!

 

Psst.. I guess my dm hates me.. I have a chance for 2500 miles.. If I can make it from st.paul mn to wvc in a day and 3 hours.. Not likely on paperless.. So instead ill 1500 miles.. I guess back in the negative.. I'm starting to get mad again.. I figured even with a 34 and leaving friday.. I could see 2500.. But no.. I'm 1k short..

 

Thats the problem with taking 34s you will eventually be unable to take a load! IF you go 8-9 hrs a day you never need a 34. They give you plenty of time on on the load so why bother? All running 11 hrs a day does is get you there really early and run down your hours in a hurry. I have it so I get 8 hrs back every day. I can take any load in my area at anytime. Look at it this way... 2 central drivers in the same truckstop... one has hours available and one doesnt, who will get the load? you drive 8 hours a day thats 480 miles x 7 days = 3360 miles. Still getting over 3k IF dispatched to you. No planner is going to sit on a load so you can take your 34. They can see your hours. I am pretty sure they take a quick look before they give it to you.

Just a thought!
