Location for the night

My neighbor gave me a bike similar to that, free. I got dizzy with my head a foot lower than my butt. Even with the seat all the way down and the handle bars adjusted, it's the most uncomfortable bike I've ever ridden. I won't ever ride it again. Those rice burner crotch rocket motorcycles look as uncomfortable.

 

It's a lot better than I thought it would be. After trying to figure it out the first couple tries, I've a sequence of motions that takes about 15 seconds to get it in the truck and up to the bunk. The bike is only 21lb, lifting it is super easy. I go through the passenger side, shifter wouldn't make much of a difference.

@Chinatown I did a whole lot of research before getting this thing. And oh boy do I wish someone gave me one of these for free. It's not a road bike although it looks like one. Everything is just a bit more relaxed or can be adjusted to ride like a road bike. I'd take the comparison from a crotchrocket to a sport touring motorcycle. Still sporty but a whole lot more comfy.

 

home after 2500 miles of zigzag zigging for one load. deadheaded from slc to Long beach to get loaded last Wednesday, then drove to billings and got there Saturday, but had to wait till Monday to deliver, then deadhead ed back to slc. 2500 miles total with only 1300 of it loaded.
I'd love to see the milage rate to see how that was profitable

 

Tonight it's the fabulous Penn80 again in Milton, PA. I got here with 18 minutes left on my 14 and tried to sneak in a fill up so I can save that time on the clock tomorrow since I'm going to a notoriously slow customer and need every bit of my 14. Walking around to start the passenger side pump anddd there's no hose. Somebody must've left with a new accessory on their truck.

No time to pull around, fuel again, and park before I go over hours so now I have a full drivers side tank and an empty pass. tank. I have to fuel again in the morning completely defeating my time management attempt. Maybe a rookie mistake on my part for not actively checking for 2 hoses but after a oh so typical 1 A.M. day spent navigating the 300 construction zones in Ohio and PA, I'll admit that I wasn't 100% focused on the fueling task at hand. Lesson learned and this is why I'll still consider myself a rookie 20 years from now. There's always something new to be learned or looked out for and that's why I love and hate this job. Ok, so like/tolerate might be the better word. Ask me again in 20 years.
Extremely long explanation of a simple situation over.

 

Thats what I do, pretrip and fuel at the same time.

 

I got called out for that once last year I think in my 2nd week. My memory may fail me tomorrow though...

 

Yeah you'll get an automated message if you don't flag that you're fueling. Just do your pre-trip on the fuel island and log them both concurrently. Win-win

 

It's perfectly legal to fuel and pretrip simultaneously. It's not even against Sni policy...... yet
