Good Night From II

Yes.
We need to do our part in keeping those truck stops operational.

 

Bobtail at the Petro in Ontario CA. What a chaotic madhouse!! Worse than usual and the cops are busy going after the creative parkers. I'm almost glad I don't have a trailer.

Dropped my load from NYC in Victorville around lunch a day early. Refused an mty and nothing on mac30 so I braced for the worst from the planners. 30 mins later with only 2.5 hrs left on my 14 I get a ppln to pick up a load where I dropped to do another drop at the Kmart DC in Ontario...to be delivered 1.5 hrs later, same day. I had just enough time and jumped on it.

Bobtailed in and got loaded up and hit I-15S. As soon as I hit the freeway got another ppln..was almost afraid to look at it based on many previous visits to the Basin. Very much to my surprise it was another D/H in the morning going back East to Houston. Holy Moly, what a fortunate break!! Grabbed it!!

Only downside is I have to run a few miles over to Jarupa Valley in the morning for an mty trailer since KMart wouldn't let me have one either. I hope it's not a goose chase.

 

I have always had to pay for my showers...only paid cash 3 times total though, these days though I will spend the $10 to drive home instead of feeding it to the truck stop who already makes too much profit.

Today my conagra got yanked since my store ended up sweeping on me, grabbed up a local Bakersfield store and delivered that, when I got to the office and started scanning my weeks worth of loads he asked if I wanted to do another Bakersfield but I declined, wife was already sad I wasnt going to be home as early as I told her as it was plus he already had a driver on the way back to do it, he just wanted to get it done since it was ready in the yard.

 

You probably have some idiot pulling loads off of a restricted account. We had someone giving our dedicated Target backhauls to OTR drivers. That stopped pretty quickly once it was pointed out to upper management that the OTR account would not be getting paid for those trips...

 

At the PA welcome center WB I-78. Got a longer trip this time. Headed for Columbus, OH. Maybe the freights opening back up.

Question: Which of our trucks has the largest sleeper (currently leasing)? My wife is coming out with me on a semipermanent basis. We're both large ppl.

 

KW Studio sleeper has a decent size bed, I have also seen internationals with full size beds. It probably just depends what you want and available

 

Prostars have decent room. You do NOT want a Volvo.

Edit-maybe lease Volvos re bigger. Company ones are small. And its made me dislike Volvo. And yep they gave me an even smaller Volvo for local work here.

 

My 2011 Prostar has a twin xl which according to one galpal is cozy but another said, "Yeah, no. Let's get a room. "

 

I've got a KW680. It's pretty big for a Solo, but I'm not sure about two people in the bed. The bottom bunk mattress is a full twin. Top is smaller. But other than that, the tv mount, and refrigerator compartment are A++

 

Sadly the Cascadia is also no good with an XL Twin, pain for finding sheets and although we could lie together.... but not comfortably all night.
