    Just for Rocks....

    I am parked SORT OF under a tree in front of SDV.
    I need to back up a bit, but could get the trailer hit that way.
    I could go forward but there is a car that keeps me from going far enough.
    Best of all worlds would a dispatch to take 10-12k to an airline.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    Yeah... I get a variety of load weight... Some are very light, like the one I am picking up right now.. only 5,500 lbs :biggrin_25519: LOVE IT!! But the last one was almost 44.500 and this truck will not take more than that otherwise I will not be able to make my axles legal... The only thing I don't like about light loads is when it's very windy... :biggrin_25513:
    My company now is using a 3rd party business to check on each driver's driving habits... and save on fuel, etc... So, when I am very heavy, specially going up mountains for long periods of time, my score on high RPMs gets low... :biggrin_25510: So, asked the guy who gives me my weekly report and scores what I could do about it... he said, nothing... but told me not to worry, I am doing great... Gave me congratulations today for improving my hwy speed... They want us to slow down to 62 and 63 mph whenever possible to save fuel... With this elog, I need to go faster not slower... But I had to slow down this week, going thru so many small towns and country roads...

    Ok... I am taking my 10 hr brk at shipper in Atlanta. Will drive all night for 2 nights to try to reset this weekend. Live unload at WM store in SD on Monday. I hope WM store will let me park there from Sunday till Monday so I can reset right there. Don't like to recycle hrs... :biggrin_25512: It's a hassle. DSP gave me another p/up after this dlvery. P/up on Tuesday in MN and going to Memphis, TN. Will have my meal here in the truck now and see if I can sleep, :biggrin_25523: after they are done loading... Will have to park on the street - kind of driveway outside shipper... Will have to take my Brazilian tea to try to stay awake and drive all night... :shock:
