    Seems like it'll be more dangerous in the untrained mind or if your forget yourself. Just more things to break or wires that will get corroded and make the truck really freak out. Dash board lights will look like a disco disco party.

    I think they should improve on the roads and just make the driving tests harder because driving is a privilege not a right. Not everyone has the right mind or skill or even imagination to see into the future what can happen in some cases with actions they take. Guess I'm trying to say the word premonition.


    Check out these roads.

    It's not that bad Tom. If it does weird stuff, get the antenna aligned. It will definitely get upset with you if you're in the habit of tailgating! :) Kinda like a mechanical mother-in-law!!

    Some of our drivers have had lots of issues with the OnGuard, and others have had none. The Ambient Temp Sensors are causing even more problems.

    I was nice to a Swift driver tonight. I'd been quite a ways behind him for several miles, finally got his attention on I29 to pull over, close and latch the trailer door.

    My morning run turned into a wait an hour and take the trailer run.

    Ended up with 12 delivery tickets. Would have had 2 more had my last three not had HAZMAT to them.... Had I known before the shipping guy brought them out to me I think I'd have told dispatch nope.

    Went to company today... Saw some familiar faces... Saw my dispatcher... :biggrin_25519: He said, WELCOME BACK!! :biggrin_25519: Took my drug test today... Will meet my next truck next week... and perform all that ritual again, thorough inspection, maybe send to shop, thoroughly clean the truck, even if it has already been cleaned. Then, move all my things in... :biggrin_2552: Oh my... It will be the 14th truck I move in...

    Somebody's getting scrambled eggs. LOL

    I love going to Gaylord. There's a butcher right downtown that makes the best summer sausage I have ever had, especially the garlic.
