Where is everyone #3

Gotta love customers that think it's my job to pull their heads out of their #####.

 

Sometimes ya get tired and ya don't really realize it. We've all been there

 

Made it home for the night. Got a lot of Maint to do on the truck tomorrow, then load up some more radioactive and head to Utah again. Got a reload on Monday going to Houston, then hopefully back home before next weekend. Then gonna run local/regional stuff till end of July

 

Most admit did catch myself drifting once and boy oh boy the next rest stop seemed like hours away I think it was only about 10 miles though. Called a buddy to help make it the last little bit.

 

I've pushed my luck with getting sleepy more than I care to admit. Glad it wasn't worse.

In other news, I did not find any loads I cared to pull out of Des Moines, but I did find this lightly used fine piece of craftsmanship ! Need the motor and axles for one in the shop.

 

didnt want 40calglock to have all the fun and since it seems like a good time as any. I decided I would throw on some flip flops. crawling under my ride at the nice cool 109° weather. to drop the pan and change the main bearings and rod bearings

nice and warn out at 910k. miles.
guess this CAT. has scene better days.

 

Had my first escort by inconspicuous vehicle load today. Not black Tahoes so I was a little disappointed. Lightning prevented the crane from being used so we have to wait until morning. At least they let us drop our trailers.

 

halfway done with the week

 

Petrol in Albert Lea. One of those days where I felt like I worked a good full day but didn't put many miles on. Dump my load off in Mpls in the morning then head to the shop and piddle around on the truck. I might just decide to drink beer and goof off or maybe combination of the two.

 

Well, another day of spending money on the truck. Earlier this week I spent $500 on all new shocks. Today it's 2 new steer tires and all new cab shocks. Then going home to replace hood pins, and a suspension leveling valve.
