Climate Express

There are speaker grills back there and all the trucks I had had no actual speakers behind them.

 

Sometimes it’s nice to catch your breath and relax for a minute

 

The older I get the more true I find that statement to be come in! Plural

 

Yeah it's hard to win them all that's for sure. I was supposed to go to Arizona for the weekend but Nestle purina from out there called and said they didn't want to take the load till this next Friday so I ended up doing two trips to Ohio instead. I'm on the second one now. Works out to be about the same I'll have a few more hours left then I would have had I went out to Arizona.

 

Headed up to Torrington, WY for a Wednesday pickup -- can't really complain about waiting a day on July 4th near Denver, I reckon.

Hoping these climate miles I hear about pick back up after the 4th is over. Settlements have been 1840, 2400, 1800, and this week's check will be 2500 miles. I'll be pretty well shafted on next week's check doing two 34's back to back, which will be 1950 or so miles. Been home a total of 3 days since June 6th and averaging less miles than I did getting home almost every Friday and leaving Monday with a spot market only carrier. Not sure how my first 7 days were 3500 or so miles and it's fallen off the cliff since.

I'm sure you all are tired of hearing me complain on here lol, but just giving my personal experience if anyone else stumbles upon this thread looking for info.

 

Oh yeah I remember when me and the wife was running out there all the time how hot it would be you couldn't even step out the truck onto the top step without breaking a sweat.
