    Well, Rooster driving the night shift... someone else is going to have to wake up the neighbors!

    Laredo load got unassigned. Picking up tonight, taking it to Buffalo. Then picking up tomorrow night, taking it to Denton Texas.

    Going through Jopmo, picking up paperwork from safety... I wonder what that's all about.

    Maybe someone snitched on me about walking 4 miles for a good meal... goes against the driver code or something.

    Really? You should be able to go wherever you want during your off time though I’d think?

    Can you guys tell me what kind of gps the cfi trucks run? Is it reliable? Should I opt to buy a Garmin or hold off and save my money for a bit?

    The Peoplenet gps works fairly well. I’d say that between it, a paper atlas, and google maps, you’ll be ok for a while.

    I assume that’s the gps in the trucks.
