Con-Way Truckload Drivers: What's Your 20? (2014 edition)

I wish ours could go, but they're automatic disqualified, or DQ for short. With the exception of 1, and that's the middle child. The oldest cannot go, because he is insulin dependent diabetic, the 19 year old has had heart surgery, plus, he has a heart condition, the 8 year old is severely allergic to peanuts, eggs, and strawberries, and that makes him automatically disqualified, because he quits breathing. Not sure what our daughter will do yet, and my wife and I discussed it prior to our daughter being born. My wife asked me, "Are you going to let our daughter follow in her daddy's footsteps and be a Marine". Knowingly, it's a catch 22 question. Still pondering on that thought about our daughter wanting to be a Marine.

 

Ugh. You're right, I'm sure you see it from both points of view. It will happen as it's meant to happen.

 

Got a load out of Middletown, NY to Indiana. Descent but I went in the board Saturday night and this is the only thing they could get. The soonest.

 

Been a good week got load from Joplin to Waverly,NE from there we went to Twin Falls,ID and Nampa,ID from Nampa picked up a load of turnip seeds going to Springfield,MO total miles 3379 for the week plus layover pay for the 6 days we were down gonna be a good check to bad most of it will go to bills, sometimes being an adult sucks LOL

 

What kind of truck do you have? 6 days? Ughhh

 

We have a brand new 2014 Freightliner and it had a sensor go out it was in the shop for 3 days went 50 miles and had to turn around because it wasn't fixed sat for another 3 days.

Does anyone have a truck with DEF ? First time for us and every now and then we get this charcoal burning smell and almost a cat urine smell is that normal?

 

Cmbreen,
My guesses: charcoal smell is your exhaust periodically burning off the ash. DEF is basically ureic acid so the smell of piss is easily explained.
Cheers

I carry the scars on my body as a daily reminder on what I have been through. Although, I am grateful I had the opportunity to serve my country proudly. The things I have seen would give people nightmares for the rest of their life, and my wife was on here. She would tell you about the horror she has witnessed, and the scars on my body, and the slight hearing damage I have from a roadside bomb that went off and fragments went into my ear canal. I could literally write a book about my life and it would sell big time, because it's real life experience that actually took place. I always tell my wife, I am a survivor, the hero is the one that gave his life for this country that we deeply love.
