    @U2, seriously, just give it up. He's not going to read your posts. Everyone else on here gets really tired of reading your condescending posts that really serve no purpose other than to stir the pot. Find something else to do with your life.

    Aight... Got some hours back and a load. Soon as this guy finishes washing my truck Ill go pick it up from the yard. Heading back to Colorado. Cant drop til tomorrow so Im finish what i need to do n head that way.

    For the record. I checked the radar, it didnt show anything. I didnt hit the storm. Missed at least the worst part. My only issue was that ice in that location.

    the main thing is do what you can do if you can leave early do that if you dont feel like it thats your decision run the truck how you feel if it works good if not learn from it

    now drop in CO and head over to cp i got a cali load waiting on ya or gypsum for sheet rock...ha

    I think that your trainer did you a disservice by not showing you the end of your 70 and how you can string hours to keep going. It is something that you have to understand, or else you end up sitting for 34hours every week. That's 800-1000 miles you could have driven in that 34 hour period. I am bumping my 70 every day right now, but usually gain a little back on delivery days. Best course of action is to "try" to keep the days to 9.5 hour days max.

    As far as U2 goes, He means well regardless of how he comes across. That is just U2. I welcome his input and experience, regardless of how it comes across. (I can get over it)

    Yes he can be as abrassive as 60 grit sand paper; but his information is priceless. He should write a trucking business manual.:biggrin_25519: It would be a very useful tool!

    The attitude is EXACTLY the reason hes on the ignore list. If wanted that attitude, Id speak to my mother again. Which will never happen. Six years isnt long enough away from that. Im workin on my clock management. Sometimes I have reasons for stopping that I dont post on here.

    I got a load out of the SLC yard heading for Carbondale, Co. Stopped before I ran out of hours simply cause Im tired. Chain law is in effect at mm184, but Im not goin nearly that far. I stopped so I could get up earlier, so I can unload earlier. The earlier I can unload, the better options I have for loads. Flatbed isnt like reefer. We usually only pickup/drop between 0700 and 1630, usually. Hoping for an Owens-Corning load out of Denver. I do love hauling shingles, except their heavy.

    Well... Heading back to Owens-Corning again lol IF I can get outa Wyoming. I80 is shutdown and so am I. Road is icy and Im empty. Not taking the chance of being blown into the ditch. 40mph winds just might do it.
