    I hold both of these members in the highest regard. And both of what they said has been on my shoulder speaking to me. For that alone, I’m staying put. For the amount of time I have left, it makes zero sense to jump from the pot to the frying pan.

    For the last 4-6 weeks, things have settled down, my DM is doing great, load planning and operations still suck, but hasn’t affected my miles which really means my earnings are fine. I could always use a raise, which comes in April.

    I see CA is using B99 diesel now. I foresee some clogged fuel filters in some driver's future if they fill up there.....almost 100% biodiesel and biodiesel is more of a solvent than petroleum based diesel 2 and will loosen all the crud in a truck's fuel system.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Rolling through AZ today and there was a state trooper with an SUV with a flat tire parked on the left shoulder right on the yellow line and most of use did the right thing and slowed down and stayed right, not the two hajis hauling arse tail gating each other though behind me. They both decide they are going to pass me and the trooper started angrily pointing his arm out and screaming for them two idiots to slow down and get back behind me but of course they ignore him and the first one almost hit the trooper and SUV and the second decides to move over with me next to him and runs me off the road onto the shoulder with a real confused look on his face, like "where am I supposed to go?", dummy he was telling both of you to get behind me long before we all got there next to him. Most of those guys are ruining everything for everyone out here. I know Im scared to death to drive in bad weather anymore because of how they drive.

    Just look at all the tow yards across AZ and NM, It looks like Haj junkyard.

    Like my mother-in-law used to say... the grass may be greener on the other side, but it’s still grass.
