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

They aren't as quick this week to route me to Wichita as they were last week. Got empty 1st thing this morning, told to head to the closest truckstop and hang loose. I was sure to fuel up before I delivered this morning in case the need arises for me deadhead home so I can get my optometrist appointment taken care of so I can get my physical out of the way...I'm sure that would go over well on driver depreciation week... after they were so generous with our driver depreciation gift, which I told my wife she could pick what she wanted because I didn't see anything I was interested in.

 

I can't stand pull over hoodies. The one they gave us last year, the wife cut down the front and put in a zipper so I would wear it.

I wonder if they would like my suggestion for a new logo

 

Finally got moving today. Just before noon dispatch called and tells me to head for Ottawa, KS for a tomorrow pickup going to FL. They were just putting the load in the system, so when he gets it he'll send it to me.

Picking up at a crane place going to another crane place in Tampa. The load info didn't have the loaded miles, but Google Maps says it's over 1300 miles, plus a 550 mile deadhead, plus I get 1 day of layover pay.
