Dropped my joint and spilt my beer! There is Karma in the world: Was coming in Redding and traffic was thickening up. Both lanes were doing...
Picked up plywood out of Shelton, WA on Wed for a Fri delivery in Rialto, CA. Some sort of machinery broke at the plant and I didn't leave until...
I tell my students that doing up a load quickly isn't about speed, but rather efficiency.
Even the Flatbedders? :)
I have my students for four weeks and the last week is entirely on them (if possible). I sit in the sleeper and mess around on my laptop. I...
Werner runs their students as a team after about 2 weeks. They did that when I was a student with them over 9 years ago and I'm sure they still...

I got a hammer we can use to adjust those high beams... :)
I have more worries in OR and WA than CA. WA and OR have more scales than all the other states combined and they can be rather persnickety at times.
The absolute basics? -6 way screwdriver (2 crosstip, 2 flat, and 2 nut drivers) -6" adjustable wrench -8" ViceGrips -needle nose with diagonal...
I sat waiting to unload at Ryerson in Portland, OR long enough to get a 10 hr break in. Ryerson in Vernon, CA isn't much better.
Just finished a 36,000 lb run from Yakima, WA to Vista, CA and pulled a 7.4 mpg. I have a 2013 T700 with a 455 MX and a 13 speed. From what I've...
There's a Utility Trailer in most major US cities... and you can drive a truck/trailer into their yard. :) I use to deliver there quite a bit...
