What's Your 20 Maverick

Laurinburg for a 36 hour restart. Leaving out Sunday late morning. Just got the truck washed and of course it is going to rain

 

Home since 1245 nlr time, guests for dinner. Crab in Alfredo sauce anyone?

 

@ CaptainX3:

Switch to Skateboards- we have Ice Cream- and No Canada. (j/k with ya Captain, and getting a jab in back at ya that I owe you). I hope it works out for ya Man.

 

Sitting at Gateway Ind in Matthews, MO getting reefer fixed. Bad alternator.

 

At the house finally

 

Haha, I'll be honest with you guys - I could NEVER do what you guys do. Flatbedding would kill me. Aside from the fact that I'm not in decent physical shape, I have horrible balance and would end up falling off the trailer somewhere down the line. And I'm not good at all with extreme cold, I don't think I'd even be capable of tarping a load in below freezing temps.

If someone asked me to build a desktop computer from scratch, I could do it with my eyes closed. But I couldn't figure out how to tarp a load properly if my life depended on it (just ask the guys in the barn in NLR and the guys in my flatbed training class). I just couldn't get it. You don't even want to know how screwy mine looked by the time I was done. *shudder*

It's fun to jab back and forth with the flatbed guys, but in all honesty I have an immense amount of respect for those of you who can do it. You guys, way more than TCD, are the heart of this company and I always get a little sense of pride every time I pass a flatbedder with a nice tarp job - I may not be a flatbedder myself, but I'm proud to be working for the same company as you guys.

 

Made it home today @10:30 local. Leaving WAY early Monday morning. No restart so next week should be a good one.

-side note: Just finished giving the truck a MUCH NEEDED top to bottom scrub down on the inside. I've been in 12401 for almost a year and I'm STILL cleaning ArmorAll off everything.....seriously....

 

sitting at the loves in baxter tn. heading to lil rock to get my next student n off to tulsa by monday

 

Well we all appreciate your kind words. Just keep on doing what your doin' and we are proud of you guys too CaptainX3. You guys look sharp whenever I see ya rollin' down the road.

 

Home, after Orientation and Securement training in NLR. Tomorrow night I hook up with my trainer in Gary!!!
