HEATWAVE

Chapped, cracking, bleeding lips? I have one word of advice: Carmex.

Hands down the best lip treatment on the market. It has lanolin in it, aka sheep sweat. Naturally helps heal. I used it on Denali, three weeks of temperatures down to -45°F. Works well in the summer heat running to the oil patch. Get the tiny yellow squeeze bottle at most truck stops or at Walmart.

 

Sometimes it's like an obstacle course dodging all the gators on the 10 in the desert.

 

How is it legal to sell chocolate there?

 

Waste of money between June and September.

 

Once the temps hit 34C (93F) I start slowing down (my work pace) and just don't feel like moving at all. Not sure how you guys in the 100+ zones do it on a daily basis.

 

99 in Omaha today when I got done loading today ..good practice for Laredo lol

 

Years ago my company had a "rewards" system for idling. The less idle percent u had the faster ur truck would run. Then a driver died of heat stroke sleeping in his truck down in nm. But they saved 1 gallon per hour of us not idling!
