Another Company to IC Choice Thread

So I am at home for my 10 hour break. Ran 671 miles today stopping only once for the required 30 minute waste of time. I am a little out of route but the extra fuel was worth coming through the house to offload the charcoal and other items I don't need in the truck. Plus I needed to do some laundry. Will be headed out tomorrow morning to make my delivery at 1900. Truck is still running like a champ. No issues at all with it. I managed to sneak through Atlanta right before rush hour and only got held up once I got on 85 north, but that lasted less than 5 miles. Bet I can't do that again. Basically an uneventful day. Looking forward to the rest of the week since I am off to such a good start. Until next time...

Stay Tuned.

 

That gift in the form of those charcoal must have been nice. I never turn down or discard those type of gifts. One thing that's charcoal is good for is getting rid of a truck that's been previously smoked in.

Like chicknwing said, it's your truck. I asked about bringing dogs, specifically Great Danes, when I was looking for information for my cousin. I was told "Yes, but they have to be on a leash and under your control when out of the truck."

 

Great Dane? Gonna take out the passenger seat?

 

Thanks yall... When I worked for SNI back in 04-05 there was an owner op that had a goat in the truck with him. He had it on a leash walking it around. Darnedest thing I ever saw lol.

 

They drive team, and have 2 of the dogs. I dunno how they manage that. Not something I would do, myself. I'm quite enough animal to have in my truck, thank you very much! lol

 

I'm with ya on that. Sometimes I think I'd like to have a smaller dog ride along with me, then other times I'm real glad I don't have the entire HVAC system of my truck stuffed with pet hair, and if I'm tired and its raining and I just want to be done, I can put myself in that crappy spot way at the back of the truckstop, close the curtain and go to sleep and not have to take Fido for a walk until he finds a spot to do his business.
