An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Well, I figured out what that piece of equipment going to my 2nd stop is. I thought it was a tree harvesting probe as well, until I pulled up the customer on Google Maps. This is going to a metal recycling facility at a steel mill, so it's used to pick up metal headed to the mill to be melted down.

 

Once I deliver to my 2nd stop Friday morning, I will have turned over 10,000 miles in 21 days, with 2 days at home loading up my gear. Feels #### good to run for a change without all the nagging, nannying and pestering. And having a dispatcher who was a former driver helps. He already figured that I would be tight on my 70 after running 3800 miles and doing 2 live loads and 2 live unloads in 7 days...

My response to people in the office when they ask how I am doing is "if I were doing any better I would have to sit on my hands to keep pinching myself to see if I am dreaming"

 

Hope I waved. I've been trying to do better at spotting our trucks, but since we have such a variety of makes, models and colors, it's easy to miss one until it's too late
