    Probably hung his landing gear on the tracks?

    It’s the truck route in and out of the mill. Highly doubt it. Unless of course he didn’t raise the landing gear enough.

    #### sneaky trains...too bad it wasn't an Amtrak...he/she could have caught a lift home right there.

    must have been who was driving, I mean, trains don't stealthy sneak up on you....ding ding ding ding...honk honk honk...oh, but the quality of drivers haven't changed over there (at least that's what Creaffer management says :confused:)

    That left a mark....Dumbace probably waiting on the tracks for the light to change, and then when it didn't, because of oncoming train.....

    Sent a message to my dispatcher over the weekend (so he would see it first thing Monday) telling him I would I would be empty on Tuesday. 1st 2 unloads went great, headed down the US routes between Little Rock and Tallulah. Hoped on the interstate and was rolling east. I sent him a message before I left to check to see if this new fuel card number had the authorization to use it on the Cat Scale app because it won't let me change it. He said he would check shortly. He also said that I am tentatively set up on my next load, but as best as he can tell, he thinks it doesn't pick up until Friday...but didn't say from where. Then, I try to fuel at the only Pilot in my route (Jackson, MS) and, the pay at the pump wasn't working and they can't turn the pump on from inside without a physical card...not to thrilled about how my day ended today...oh and the Sam-crappa decided to screw with my location before going to bed today. I am tempted to just file a complaint about it with the FMCSA...SPD doesn't seem to be interested in resolving this, maybe if a suit from the Feds showed up it would light a fire under their ###.

    At least my homemade vegetable beef soup and cornbread turned out perfect...

    Who woulda thought you could make perfect cornbread in an air fryer.

    Which air fryer did you go with?

    I've been thinking of upgrading my in truck appliances from 12 volt to "real people stuff", but most of what I've looked at doesn't look like it would hold up to life in a truck.

    It's called a Chefman. Something my wife bought me for Christmas a couple years ago.

    Got my next load. A GD elevator load out of Dallas that doesn't load until Friday afternoon...going to Cali. Glad I busted a nut getting down to New Orleans to deliver this multi-stop load just to sit on my ### for 2 days. They're making refrigerated freight seem so much more appealing than this crap.

    Ok the question, does it mess with your earnings? If so then yeah not good, but if the miles are good and the paycheck is solid then is it really that big a deal. Just trying to understand the big picture…
