    The only time I watch TV is when my Miami Heat is on national TV, about 3 times during the season, the rest of the time it's actually a flower pot.....lol

    By all means, jump in any time. We have an open door policy here.

    This is my second new KW, the first one I put 272k on it. There were only 7 suttle changes. The mirrors in the hood are now black and chrome, the arm rests are now longer, there's a load lock carrier on the back, we now have an air release fifth wheel lock, they did away with the shifter and gave us a key pad and they eliminated a storage cabinet and gave us a deep storage compartment.

    This is a lazy mans truck to operate....right up my alley.
     
    Lonesome and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    I did three of my 4 drops a day early in order to get out here to my last stop and take a reset. I'm at Johnsons Corner/Petro in Loveland, 8 miles from my drop. My reset is up at 6pm tomorrow night and my delivery is at 8pm.

    Slap an Abilene decal on that truck and come join us... They will never miss it... Probably.

    Just got my reload info for when my reset is up at 7pm. I need to dead head 570 miles to Mooreland OK and load before 4pm tomorrow. I'll make my drop up the road at 8 tonight, then split my sleeper so I won't be on nights this weekend. The load delivers in Fredricksburg Va Monday morning.

    I have asked a couple people at Richmond how to do that and both gave me the same answer. Something like "it's not worth it or it's too easy to screw up. If you are going to stop for 8 hours just stop for your 10."

    I hate getting out of sync with my preferred work schedule... Is it all that hard to do on the QC?
