Millis OTR journal

So done with China. Probably my seventh parking ticket for parking in a seemingly legal spot while all the cars around me, clearly parked illegally (double parking, parked in a marked no parking zone, middle of the road, sidewalk) no tickets. I guess I won't park on a side street with no signs prohibiting it and my parking not at all impeding movement. But yes to parking in middle of the road. Sorry rant over. Living in China you wouldn't believe the crazy things I've seen done on the roads.

 

Back to trucking. How do you drive wearing contacts? I prefer wearing my dailies (a must have with Chinas terrible air) over glasses, but they can get irritated and very difficult to wear as my eyes get tired. So I read @Steelersjunkie wears contacts. Any tips?

 

Yeah, I'd probably stick with dailies to avoid having to keep them feeling as good as possible everyday. I suppose later in the day, I'd just have to take stop to quickly rip them out and throw on glasses. Nothing is worse than struggling to see as the eyes get tired and start rejecting the contacts.

 

Nothing special with my contacts except if I drive at night I wear my glasses. Just feel like at night with my contacts my eyes give me more issues. I usually only wear my contacts in bright sunny weather so then I can wear my sunglasses. My eyes get pretty sensitive to brightness with my contacts so I need sunglasses.

 

Yeah, same here. My eyes struggle at night with contacts starting to irritate and all the Chinese drivers rolling with their high beams all the time with the exceptional guy running completely dark.

 

So my student had a pretty good day today....Richfield to Mill Hall Pa Flying J on 80...

 

Very nice. Kudos to your apprentice.

 

Dropped in Fairburn Ga this afternoon. Was worried what William was gonna have me do. Drop and hook in 20 minutes, hit ready for dispatch and immediately, Blip Blip,,,,,Blip Blip,,,,,,,,,Blip. I thought WTF? William said grab you 10 then DnH at m&W when your hours allow. DnH at Effingham tomorrow. Holy crap man,,,, okay, with smiles all over my face.
Problem, where am I gonna park for the night,,,,, Fairburn Tstop on Oakley Industrial? Yeah it’s full but gotta tell ya guys, if you know how to shoehorn your rig into a hole, this place ain’t so bad.
Just pigged put on a Zaxbys Zalad. Tstop is clean, employees arent too friendly but who gives a sheot about that. Tip, don’t park on the concrete pads. Lolz,,,,,
