Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

Oh yeah....

finishing up a 4200 mile pay week in the morning then taking a reset at the house since i live close to my delivery. Then monday morning i pick up close to nashville and run to central california and drop and hook then straight back to tennessee...

4400 mile round trip.

when i get back that will give me well over 16,000 for 5 weeks....

 

Slow.. very slow. Still can't stand without a crutch. So i get to drive a desk.. "light duty "

 

I was just shy of 7800mls in July, but I only worked 17 days. Which 5 of those I sat. I took this week off to have my head examined to figure out why I do what I do for living. Well, the good news was they did not find anything wrong with my head, but they said I am a walking medical miracle since my head is empty.

 

Reminds me of the time i took a friend for an EEG. After hooking it up they couldnt get any reading. Turned out the machine was faulty but i never let him live it down that i had medical proof he didnt have a brain.

 

Pity you haven't learned to work for a living yet. HAH!

 

That reminds me of my lung capacity test I had to take years ago. The MA just kept shaking her head and saying I needed to try harder. I was a bout to pass out when she figured out she hooked the equipment up wrong. Luckily she had already taken my blood pressure if not they would have put me on high blood pressure meds next.

 

last 2 weeks for me was 6900 miles. Best trip I have had so far. Too bad its not a normal trip....

 

Enjoy your hometime greyhound.....
