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

Signed. They are rolling skip real bad on 15 the other day, that’s the channel we mainly use on the east coast for escorts. I hate having to use the cb for escorting.

 

Well I have my marching orders.

rollout around noon tomorrow, pick up a container in Wichita to deliver in SC on Monday. Bounce up to NJ to load a container going back to WA. So my next 10 days or so are covered.

 

Go ahead and chain that container down for me. Haha.

I’ve thought a bunch about trying to get on that lane dedicated. Other than SoCal it’s easy wide upended running. If you can’t get into La during darkness it’s not so bad.

I ran dedicated weekly out of Wichita to On/qc every week for two years when I first started. Turned a lot of miles pulling a quickdraw with this junk.

 

I thought everyone had a ‘throw away’ email account for just such an occasion…

 

Well I had a pretty productive home time doing things the shop should have done before they issued this truck. Moved the airlines that were a tripping hazard, replaced that with a tarp that’s usually in the way.
Built a set of ramps, repainted my od mirrors that were all rusty from the last truck that used them, replaced the absolutely pathetic work lights with some led ones(it’s 2023, why are halogen lights even still an option), and added some more lights under the bunk. I also built a chain divider to hold 8 16’ chains in my step box.

 

Wow lol, and you’re not an owner op because…nice job!
