    I'll be pissing off the super truckers off all day when they pass me, just for me to pass them again and again up the hills :biggrin_255:

    That's so nice of Crete to tell us if we can load or unload during our 10 hour break, I hope they list if the customer has a restroom or restraunt nearby.

    Especially when they think you should stay out a month at a time with no fridge or microwave, lol. I don't park at customers, lol.

    Funny you mention that, the Petri I'm staying at lost power and I think they may have locked up after I just finished a big dinner... could be a bad night with no crappier...

    Usually it is Tyson wanting to make sure they have trucks to deliver their product, so they offer to pay the deadhead if they guarantee a truck. I had a near 700 mile deadhead a few weeks ago, from North Platte to Rogers, AR....and the load went to...North Platte. They may have a closer truck, but with the customer paying deadhead, they don't really care.

    Hey guys. Been a while since posting. I discovered something my truck has that I bet most wished they had....self cancelling turn signals and free inverters. Can't believe Shaffer in Denver, never made it past Sioux Falls, SD.

    Praying for ya Packard

    Joe good luck. Just remember your training u will be fine.

    I think the Crete side may be a bit overbooked on freight, I haven't run this hard since April, I could have run a lot more miles if I tcalled this load in Fontana, but, all work And no play .........
