Life After Roehl

For any of yall trucking through Sioux City the Pilot at exit 143 has a Moe's....its real good southwest fastfood (but decent) and a welcome departure from the normal Truckstop slop and fast food....those of you from the south knows what Moe's is ...

 

really big yummy burrito's

 

Still here. Been doing 2x daily runs and reloads, easy stuff. 10 hour days all week. Feeling lazy.

 

get to work lazy....I am still hauling meat and making good money......home a lot more too....

 

Translation: I'm not a real truck driver anymore.

Do you think you need a doubles endorsement for this combination vehicle?


Anyway, I'm still working my tail off at Van Wyk and loving it. I never hear from dispatch unless I call them and I'm averaging about 3100 miles a week. Home every 6-7 days for 2-2.5 off days. Staying out for 13 days this time to offset my vacation. Rented a lake house in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the second week in August.

 

Here's what I've been doing with my spare time.

 

that bottom one is one ugly lookin fish...what is it???

 

Albino Longfin Bristlenose Plecostomus. Algae eater. It's a male, the females don't really get the bristles. I got him for free but an adult like that one would run about $40.00 in a fish store. Cool fish.

When they spawn the female lays eggs and leaves and the male guards the eggs and babies until they swim on their own. Quite aggressively too it's cool to watch.
