    Hometime winding down. Got home last Monday and headed out tomorrow. My trainee has gone from fresh out of school to a stage 2 in 3 weeks. This next round will get him up to stage 3 and off my truck. I’ll then go solo until after I get back from vacation in August.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    I go back to work on Tuesday. I suppose you're anxiously awaiting the arrival of your new truck.

    It’s time. This $160k throwaway truck is about wore out.

    It’s a small meat packing plant that if the average consumer saw the lack of cleanliness there, they’d all become vegetarian.

    My truck has over 260k miles on it. It visits the shop more and more.

    That truck is barely broken in. My 15 had almost 700k on it. That truck is still with Abilene.

    They have a "fun" parking lot.

    You've got very little room to maneuver, and just past the parking spaces is a steep drop of about 3 or 4 feet into the lot below.
