Off for two weeks. My dad is turning 80 next week, and those milestones don't come around often. So me and my daughter are driving out to...
Wooo!
Bracket got bent as you can see. Mudflap itself has a 3-inch tear in it now, down at the bottom, but is otherwise both legal and functional.
I have had trailer tires blow out before. This is the first time I've had two tires blow at once. [ATTACH] Both tires on the rear axle,...
Yep. I was there early in the week myself. Recycling plant. We pick up bales of scrap cardboard there. I'll wave at you next time I pass through.

Where do they have you running?
Also, they don't do that thing Abilene used to do where it would be 8AM and you had a fresh reset and they'd give you a load that delivered 5...
Haven't been keeping track of my miles the past month or so due to swapping trucks so often (and thus losing track of my odometer). But before...
Another 4-trailer day. Left Baltimore with a loaded trailer, which I dropped at the paper plant in Ashland. Hooked an empty, which I took a...
So what's the latest? You go through orientation yet? Done a ride-along? Got your truck? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Lessee... Yesterday morning I started in Richmond. Richmond --> Manassas, VA Manassas --> someplace else in Manassas Manassas --> Back to...
Yessir. Drove 4 different trailers yesterday. Drove 4 different trailers today. I imagine this is what it feels like to be a local driver.
