Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

In flatbed, muck boots and good rain gear are important.
A place your going to like is Orschelns or Big R.
Both places you can get actually decent jeans for cheap.
have a good selection on muck boots at good price.
usually in the spring, you can get unlined coveralls on sale.

Ordered my rain gear on line, it is a gortex type light/mid weight set, Safety orange with reflector strips. Was About $60 for pants and jacket. Search amazon for hi-vis rain gear. A light nylon windbreaker shell is also good to have. Depending on the conditions, I put the shell on under the rain jacket. The shell does not breath, so it can get warm. It does its job and stops the wind from getting in. Helps to keep me dry.

For winter, I like to go with layers. ( I know, it's hot right now) I want to be able to move around, but not freeze parts off. I tend to go for llight and thin over bulk. So the nylon shell works here as well. Silk long johns are my favorite. have 4 sets, plus sock liners and balaclavas, these can be a bit spendy, but worth every penney. Wool is also a good choice. Put the two together and you will be good and still move easy.

 

It cleared up by itself. No really good options for surgery with that little bone.

 

Well, June has been berry, berry good to me. I'm closing in on $24,000 in revenue for the month on 11k (all) miles.

Which is not too shabby for a door slamming, dry van, window licking, semi-lazy owner operator like me. Especially an I-5 corridor runner like me.

I've had to work for it. I've handled 18 different loads this month.

When you're a one man dog and pony show like I am, there's definitely a lot of planning on the fly for that amount of loads.

Just ask Broken Down 69er if he could keep his 6 trucks dispatched like that

The shorter runs are where the money is at though in a dry van on the west coast, at least for me.

Not too mention it requires a lot of flipping of the clock, night running etc.

Sissy ELD mega company drivers fixated on getting a parking spot at the mega truckstop before 1600, need not apply LOL.

I plan to dial it back in July, that's just too much working for an old fart like me.

 

LOL

 

Good job!

 

If this board was not having to be so PC
I have a comment you could of told her.
Then the chat with HR and the sexual harrassment suit that would follow lol

 

Tighten up the boot straps, brown bag it and do what ya gotta do.
