JJ's Place

And speaking of beer, won't go into the fiasco of Ft Collins this time around, but think I am delievering to the worlds smallest distributership. Has only one dock. lol Had a canadian driver follow me in here, thinking this was a good place to take a 10 hr break. He figured out he goofed, talked to him a minute, and sent him on down the road to /sapp bro's at IA2 and I 29.

 

Went to a real small store tonight, they only have 2 docks, get there and there is another truck that hit a yellow pole and had it wedged between his tandoms and dot bumper and the way he was stuck had the second dock blocked. Finally convinced him to drop his trailer so I could do what I needed to do. Have a feeling he is going to be asking people if they want fries with their orders real soon.

 

Sigh or jump for joy? Seems my brand new QC has gone on the fritz and is not communicating. Thank goodness I'm still on paper. Just gave away 14 bottles of OJ that was refused. 2 cases were leaking and 1 bottle in each case was bad.

 

and you didn't get a bottle of vodka to go with your free oj? what will the rest of the drunks think when they find out you gave away free mixer. tisk tisk tisk.........

 

Well things started off a little bad, 1st mentor was a bummer and i had to hop trucks. New mentor is an O/O and we have a great time. He runs dedicated for walmart out of Corinne. Went to Mesquite, Las Vegas around the SLC area its been great. As far as the Governed truck thing. My mentor being an O/O is goverend at 68 but he does 60 of his own choise, reason being is fuel cost. At 68 he gets 5.5 to 6 but at 60 he get 7 to 8. On an 11 hour day he loses 88 miles which is almost $88 but he save almost $168 in fuel, so driving slower makes him almost $90 a day more. $90 times an 8 day work week means he takes home $720 more then some one driving 68mph. I did the math, governed means more money. As a company driver I might get better loads becuase I get there on time and spend less doing it. Well that s might thoughts for the day, have fun and talk later.

 

Well smack me silly. Never did think about the vodka. Guess I'm just to much of a beer man.

CAGE

 

At the house and dang glad to be here.

 

Remember the weight restriction on the sleepdog? I had to squeeze past someone who would definitely exceed that limit. Where can I get acid to make sure the grossness goes away.

And, the mattress is pretty comfortable. It is taking some getting used to. Still not sure about it going down the road as I shake like jelly on most roads, which I guess is better than bouncing, but have to get used to that.

 

Really? Can I?

Sorry, just couldn't help myself. You left yourself so open on that one!
