    Last week I think I posted 3450 or 3250 either way it was for this month not last month. I has less than 5k miles last month. This week is around 1800 had a reset I didn't need and sat again this weekend except Sunday. Got a nice load from Ny to tacoma on that now. As it happens and Ohio and Pennsylvania never fail something goes down in my truck. This time turn signals it was a relay but I was not aware where that relay was so I had to wait 1.5 hours for a mechanic for 2 mins worth of work instead if buy the part. So a big ## to Ohio and pa again. Anyway i should be around Tacoma sat.


    Be safe,
    Platinum

    I got a nice trip from Rochester, NY to Renton, WA. I am starting to like these miles I get running lower 48 as opposed to 11 Western. If I didn't hate refrigerated trailers so much I might stay over on this side.

    The second night out with a recent student, he fell into a deep sleep. I woke up to a thud on the floor, he jumped out of the top bunk and was frantically trying to unzip the center curtain, still asleep the whole time!

    Turns out when the refer unit came on, he thought I was driving and had fallen asleep at the wheel, the vibration of the refer unit made him dream that I was driving on the rumble strip asleep! LOL

    LMFAO!
    I guess being in the navy Im used to sleeping on a small bed, with all kinda noises and rocking, tho if I woke up and my truck was rocking i would assume it was definitely NOT the reefer lol, tho the wind does it sometimes

    I hate that center curtain, i never use it

    Blew my first trailer tire, I did not hear or feel anything. I was actually listening to internet radio since I don't have satelitte radio in my truck and another truck pulled side by side indicating he was trying to raise me on it. It took two hours from bd call to repair and roll. I came.up short of my planned stop for my reset due to this.
