USX drivers...how's your day??

back in the day it was a jumping place... shop always did good work and fast

 

Someone stole the TV?

I've only been there twice because it was a designated fuel stop. It had a TV then, but no people around. I did laundry there real quick once.

 

Finally getting a 34 here at Rock Hill, SC. My student only had 28 minutes left on his 70. I've been running over my 70 every day so I can use the break.

 

No tv or washing machines when we were there.

We've never had a terminal as a fuel stop either, I'm not so sure the fuel works at Lincoln. Like I said, its a ghost town.

 

The TV was stolen 3 times. Finally they put in a little 32". Place is closed now, however.

 

We delivered in West Sacramento last night and then leisurely meandered our way down to Colton today, hit the showers, had some dinner and now we're streaming some movies on the kindle fire hd that Patty got for Christmas. Tomorrow some laundry and truck cleaning while we wait for our 8 pm pick up about 4 miles from here.

We're definitely enjoying the nice weather, its currently 63 degrees here. I guess they're still getting dumped on back home in Michigan, hoping mother nature gets that out of her system before we go home on the 6th.

If anyone is around here, hit me up.

 

Everybody must be running as hard as we have. Currently sitting at the Flying J in Laredo. It's good to be in shorts and a t-shirt again.

So far we've missed all the bad weather. Went through Iowa on 80 and saw at least a dozen trucks still off the side of the road. They were just starting to tow some when we left out of there for here.

Not much else to report. My student is doing well. He has about 30 hours to go.

 

We love Laredo, it is a very truck friendly town with parking just about anywhere. Lots of great restaurants.

 

Hey guys, I guess this thread is still alive.

Currently we are enjoying the 80 degrees in Yuma. Hoping to find somewhere for dinner and to watch the Superbowl. Supposed to get loaded tomorrow which will be cutting it real close to getting us home by Wednesday night, considering we won't get out of here until in the afternoon. If we push it hard and can get repowered around Indianapolis, Patty should be able to make here Thursday appointments.

Ok, get this, the other day at the fuel island at the Flying J in Albuquerque I noticed a bunch of water running off the side of the guy's truck that was fueling next to us. I didn't think much of it until out of the corner of my eye I saw what appeared to be him pulling back the five gallon bucket for the window washer after dumping it on tbe floor of his cab. I looked a little closer and sure enough he was wiping tbe water around with a big towel. WTF?!? I figured he must have spilled something or accidentally splashed in some fuel or def.

I asked him, "What happened?" He replied in a Russian or some Eastern European accent, "Just cleaning everything" to which I responded, "Yeah, I guess so."

As if that isn't strange enough, I finished up what I was doing and noticed that the guy he was running with was now up to the pump doing the same thing. I guess the do things a little different in other parts of the world.

 

we saw a guy in FL pull to the pumps and get out a bucket soap and a brush and wash he truck..... not the windshield but the hole truck and trailer.....

i said something to the manger because he was taking over 1hr.....and he said what can i do about it.....???
