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

Cargo, I never said that.

 

Look like my reset is foiled ....

Tried to smoke the noodles by tire blow out ...

Sitting on I-10 ex 381 , 200 mi west of San Antonio ... 120 mi east of Fort Stockton

Could sit here til 5am Tuesday ....might take that long to get a new tire out here

Edit.....still waiting , tire is being molded in San Angelo Tx , gonna need to violate my 14 to get to a safe parking spot , this ramp is too dark !

 

Jopmo...truck in shop...right next to Cargos old ride...baby trucker waiting patiently for torture and humiliation to begin...I mean training to begin...

 

Well it was all Puerto Ricans last week in Joplin.

This week it was all black fellas.

Next week ladies week?

 

I am equal opportunity...they all curl into the fetal position and wimper like babies after a day or two with me

Truck out of shop...wonder if it's fixed...think I will shoot for a heavy load over fancy gap...c'mon local...help me break in this baby trucker right!!! How else do we fin out if the Jake's are fixed???

 

Never did fix the Jake in my old truck. Redone clutch doesnt require so much mash wish they done it earlier. (Ow my knee wheres the class action...)

Got cruise control back.

Took it a couple laps around the yard to say goodbye before turning the keys in.

They made me redo my chains.

I hung em sideways apparently.

Way I've always done it (three times before only)
Twice getting up that mountain to Freeport Henderson mill. (Only two sets required by the way...). Get to po'd to ever put on any more.

Anyone needs lessons in chain hanging now I'm your man lol xD

Turns out this thing will roll backwards if you are in manual mode trying to take off from neutral.

oops good thing noone was behind me.

Good news is there's a white castle next to my local freightliner dealer. The mech will appreciate his bribe of a 20 when I come in for "onguard not working properly" or the like. What you expect? Actually using an earned day off? Yeah right.

Wasn't giving it enough throttle why it was hopping. Now I'm getting the hang of getting it to skip shift smoothly auto.

Its a headache to get used to.

 

well they're trying to make these trucks idiot proof... problem is, they keep inventing better idiots!!!

wow a 34 hour break and my rapier wit just keep getting sharper.

 

Still in Von Ormy Tx, waiting for an empty!

Been sitting around since last night, got a laredo pre plan that sounds like international paper in San Antonio

Good to see u NTAT , how goings the black gold??

 

Black & yellowBlack & Black & Black & Black & Black & Black & yellow.

 

Good man. Lots of work, lots of hours. Headed home now and was trying to see if anyone was on the strip of 10 I use to get home, but it doesn't look like it. Plenty of CTL trucks though.
