CARGO EXPRESS......JJ's New truck stop.

Another night of cooking in another trucks heat last night.
It is hot here in Springfield though, so I may have to idle tonight even though I do not want too.
I am still trying to work my truck back up to 64, but still at 62.
I was at 28% idle when I got service 2 weeks ago, so I will have them check it again tomorrow at Ft. Smith, see if I am close or not.
I have had to idle 4 hours so far this week and may have too again tonight for a while. I have been running well though so the idle percent is still dropping.

 

So how ya liking the new trk CD? Wish these 600' and 660's had anywhere near the room of a freightshaker.
Gotta admit that this 660 is getting better mileage than the 600 did. 600 averaged # 6.2 and the 660 is between 7.2 and 7.5 so far. Ooops, let me take that back. Last tank was 5.3 but that involved a regen at the KW in Richfield. Wondering what the mileage will be like when I get a meat or beer load.

 

so today i had my physical. did the usual pee, blood, eyes. but after that it was a all different AGAIN.

2 years ago they checked my nuts. 2 years before that it was my a--hole. i mean, WTF. does the govt pass new rules every year for those physicals or is it based on age. cuz if they wanna fail me. then fail me for my ###. cuz the blood ain't flowing in there anymore and now it's making my knees stiff and sore unless i raise the seat to get the blood flowing again. SHEESH.

i just can't sit like i used too anymore.

we need a websight for the exams every year. so we know what to expect.

 

WOW now get to see what you truckers do to us tow truck drivers lol. I did it for 15 yrs before going to the big trucks lol as a driver instead of a rescue person.

 

Oh joy, oh joy!!! My world is about to become complete. Was surfing the web and found out that Max Headroom is finally coming out on DVD. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey Panhandle fla

 

Hey Panhandle flash. Thanks for the answer. Do you have time to answer a couple q
uestions?

 

I like the way the 660 looks allot more than this trucks though.
Milage is good in it, but since they bought only stripped out trucks it is lacking in good usable storage.
Stuck in Terre Haute tonight. I see some Centrals are here.
I have been seeing quite a few Cargo trucks around but mainly the trucks I see hauling those trailers are DSCO.
I talked to one of the old drivers from that company about a month ago. He seemed pretty happy.

 

Yeah only a few hrs and JJ will be back on the Road!! Fataboy will be heartbroken when he realises he isn't going back out with JJ! it was a short break and I hate that he is going back out without me oh well its only another month and I will be back out there with him.
