Furniture Row Express

The lady working at subway was looking real good...lol. Will have to check out the breakfast choices tomorrow.

Just saw a JBS truck leaving to truck stop. Didn't get a trk #.

 

Lmao about the breakfast. Ya I was thinking if doing just that as far as checking in. Might be best with elog and using less hours.

 

I feel ta on the small company part. From what I see here so far is they want workers. Drivers who can run. If you can run you get good loads. The furniture is a no touch for us so nothing to worry there. They are also light loads and here if you can keep a 7.0 mpg avg they put your truck from 65 to 68. Saftey guy here also knows his sht. He will show you facts and explain them and talk to you like a normal person. So so far I have been getting the warm and fuzzy here....lol. They still have there faults but Don, Ruby are both ex o/o which helps out and Mark (saftey) doesn't blow smoke up your *** either. They explain stuff to you in black and white. So you know what lines not to cross. I hope it works out for ya. God knows drivers need less stress and bs in are life's. Keep me posted on how everything goes.

 

Ok he's in La Porte, TX and the humidity is high...lol. Now I am from VA so I know who it gets but living in CO for the past 10 years must have change that. APU working its butt off but you can still feel the humidity. Think I need to get a dehumidifier lol.

 

Ok unloaded now. Walk from the truck stop to check in. Was told Togo set at the truck stop until they got a door ready...lol. Well got a door drove slow as not to start my clock got back in all good. Now back at truck stop waiting for my next load with full hours to play with. Thank you 18kylebuschfan for the info you shared.

 

Ya know about that. Just didn't think the APU would be working this hard. Every other time I came this way I didn't have a APU to use so it is a new feeling. Also know about them #### bugs. You got some juicy ones down here. As far as fuel. Safety guy told me something I never knew so doing what he said. Went from 6.5 to 6.9 mpg on a 79k load. Was at 7.8 but was at a head when for a few 100 miles yesterday.

The little bit of info he gave me was run 1 mile less then the set limit. If you keep it floored the truck keeps dumping fuel in and not using it so brings down your mpg. So far he seems right. Not to mention the truck stats on 3 trucks he showed me to back up the info.
