On another 24 hours of waiting on a tanker at Platteville. When we're moving, we're moving. But when the silos fill up, ain't nobody going nowhere.
That's still a shocker to me. Drove for Swift and Western Express in the Before Times and I remember them having showers and laundry at their...
I last ate at Cooks Cafe(that diner by the Love's) back in 2019. They got some pretty good portions for the price. But that may or may not have...
I only do 70 between Limon and East Denver. Break off at 270 and hit the 25. Haven't taken a truck into the mountains on the 70 in 15 years....
Yep. Hartley to Platteville. I automatically think that everyone knows what I'm talking about. Got to be my own editor. Detailed report for the...
Meanwhile the 25 corridor and the US54 I'm still running remain dry. Guess all those Californians that supposedly invaded CO will head back to there!!
Lots of other industries with constant employee surveillance. Imagine getting kicked out of a trucking company and getting blackballed over a...
Less and less places to run away from these things. It'll get to the point where the new questions being asked will be "what camera violations do...
I heard rumours about driver facing cameras back in 2019. There is that system linked to the auto braking that supposedly is setup for a driver...
I mean if the cameras were only used for "no cell phone" policies, I could understand that. But other accounts tell me that they also track health...
Still plugging along here. Of course I was voluntold to take one of these trade in trucks down to Florida via an Alabama load from Littlefield....
Never actually thought of NH as a particularly good job market for anything at anytime. I still believe jobs are out there. But one has to be...
Downtime on the road and in a big city? Bicycle and exploration time. We get some breakdown pay and the company tries to get us rolling? Write...
I managed to stick to strict night driving the past few days. NM, CO, TX Panhandle, and even KS were pretty normal. Of course last year I got...
If a company camera caught it, one got fired over it, but no accident? Take it as a lesson learned and head onto the next place. If there was an...
For sure. If my current dispatcher gets on me about late loads again, I'll just play dumb. I mean for the longest time, the general consensus was...
Talked intensely with a regional sleeper cab driver at the Loves in Lamar. He told me about the cameras and it would definitely be a discipline...
Don't do over the road, so I'll probably make a roadtrip out of it. Seems like Illinois is chock full of RR museums to indulge in.
Sounds like the Midwestern America Railroad Museum. Housed in what used to be the Rock Island Silvis Depot before they went under back in 1980.
One of the dispatchers I work with has that last name. Wouldn't be too shocked if they're related.
