They're a good writer at least, I get time I'll have to finish it.

 

good read

 

How's everyone's miles been? I've been pleasantly surprised as this time of year usually slows some. I've managed to get two 3000 miles weeks coming out of the house.

 

Miles suck, but.... Awesome book

 

2 hours after my empty call and still no response. I guess I'm not"flexible" enough, in my dim witted mind I keep thinking that just maybe they're a bit understaffed.

 

During the holidays, it's up to us drivers to remind them that they're at work.
They're thinking of nothing but that paid day off. It's a big deal to them

 

tucker check the mauntain man by k c Blackmore,i got it on audiobook,from audible,didnt wont to shut the truck down,easy 600+ a day.Its like a 40hrs long book.

 

I picked up a pos 440 mile load this morning, PA to OH, and it delivers Wednesday.
I made it to one of my favorite truck stops for today.
Now I'm 158 miles from the reciever, using no toll roads.
Or,
I head to my other favorite truckstop down the toll road, it's only 159 miles, and leaves me 30 miles away from my delivery, so basically 189 miles.
What an easy choice.

 

I got another preplan today from Colunbus to Seymour. Yeah, I get home early for Christmas.
I crawled out of bed today at 11:00, I only had the 159 miles to drive today ,
no ideal when I'll head out again, but running a 200 mile a day average, I see absolutely no point in being away from home.
