Millis OTR journal

Yeah I have some family on the East Coast NJ and NYC. Both take a close 2nd and 3rd

 

So I'm in a loaner truck so I could stay running while mine is getting a B service. Apparently there is a qualcom update that my truck hasn't gotten but this 1 has.....you can no longer manually put yourself on the drive line, which therefore means you must be parked and not moving for your entire 30min break....fn ridiculous

 

How long are you in the loaner for ?

 

Should be getting a load heading right back to Wisconsin to pick my truck up.....butttt I'm considering asking to keep this truck. My truck is brand new only has 30k miles on it but as I've previously mentioned has alot of bells and whistles I dont like, and this truck doesnt. Its only got 140kmiles on it and is super clean. So do I give up a brand new truck? Idk lol

 

I hear you on the bells part. My company car had close to 200.000 on it when I had to turn it it. I got stuck with a car the size of a sardine can. I have a few more weeks of driving to Milwaukee for work so I am letting the can sit and I will use my personal ride until I head up to Richfield

 

Well I dont know what the exact parameters are, but when i left the staging area in Rochester in sleeper and drove to 1st building, then 2nd building, and back to staging area it kicked me onto drive line. But when i went back to grab trailer, bills, and back to staging area I kept it in 3rd gear and i stayed in sleeper the entire time. But the 30min break part is the 1 that sucks most in my opinion. Cant take our 30 while doing a drop n hook getting fuel etc now sucks

 

Yes!

 

Haha yup that was the executive decision I came to this morning also....im now in 7063 and away from all that lane mitigation/speed bs....its wonderful lol
