    Loving it. It's probably the nicest company truck I've ever driven.

    Just switched drivers at our fuel stop in Kingman. I'm totally speechless about Kellan, he might have been off the road for the last year, but let me say this, he can drive. I gave him the truck at 5am yesterday and on his second shift of driving he did 670 miles through heavy rain, 50 mile an hour winds and tornado watches. I took over at Moriarty NM then gave it back to him in Kingman. It feels real good having someone on the truck who knows what he's doing and doesn't try to explain his every move to me. I'm going to bed for a while, we are 4 hours out of Colton.

    Well since that one place wasn't open HP had us go 25 miles down the road and got unloaded at 1900. So yoda, I got up a day early. Headed over to Pulaski, NY to go back to Sandston. I've run this backhaul before. Wonder what the next adventure will be.

    Dropped our load at the Colton yard, had lunch then got our reload info. We grabbed an empty reefer and deadheaded to Montebello to load. This load delivers Friday afternoon in Cleveland Tn, we're taking it as far as our drop yard in West Rat hole Memphis and will drop it there Thursday morning.

    Question for you guys;

    I know there are other threads that talk about this, but what do you recommend as far as supplies go that a noob should pick up before going out? Anything specific to Abilene?
