Calex Express....My New Home!

I got a chance to see the new trucks while I was in the yard.
Wow what a difference. The engines are so clean looking! None of the science experiment stuff with wires every which way. The interior is nice too. The shifting controls are about a third the size with a small joystick sticking up. More drawers and better laid out cabinetry has an overall effect of making the space feel larger.

2 new construction zones have opened up on 80 going east. And 1 new 1 going westbound. All of them are having substantial backups.

 

Ran across the team from south carolina in the yard. God I love to hear that southern accent. Even having lived in texas for 10 years, I need a translator if they are excited. It just sounds so beautiful though I don't care. Like the ones from massachusetts too. It's a totally different sound but I stbthink it's cool

 

John....

I think I'll just be staying in this one for now (xx271). Would you mind doing me a huge favor please in case we don't cross paths this week, and if possible put all my remaining gear in my spare seabag and leave w/Brian and Mort? Really wanting to get my tags on the grill of this truck, and my stereo once I find the right wiring harness to match Volvo's LOL.

I'm p/u now in Havre de Grace, MD with a short jump to Lumberton, NJ for tonight. Still having a blast (little over 15,000 miles in 5 weeks), though last Thursday was rough. Started by having to take my son back home, then my load out from the port was rejected for loading due to a leaking trlr. I ended up repowering a Tampa load out of GA, but not before having to kill about three hours waiting for a flat repair hahaha. Delivered and reloaded there, kicked it off this morning in Baltimore. Now here I am, and now off I go since I just got a green light. Y'all be safe, more later on...
