I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

the food is good there and you'd be surprised how full that huge lot gets...

never had any issues in there, quiet place..

 

Laredo..


hiding in a quiet spot I've used for many years..

 

Lil Hidey hole off 77 somewhere in the vicinity of corpus.....wasnt gonna leave the Valley till am...but one of those weeks today...and wanted some serious peace&quiet.....

 

That's why I spent last night @ Cliff Castle Casino ob I17. Dropped into PHX got the snow crustiness washed off the truck and hit the 14:00 PU.

Overnighting in Barstow tonight. Dropping this stuff in Jo' town ( pronounced Ho a.k.a San Jose) tomorrow. Then head for home.....

 

There is a balance point there someplace for dead head. If you look @ $/day that the truck is generating it may make more sense to dead head a few hundred miles to a good paying load rather than waste 2 days time on a low $/no profit beer run.

 

suppose it was different in 1968

 

Always been meaning to try that one out and park in the back. I usually drive down to Prescott not because I like TA but usually cause it's a shower night.

 

That's my motto. Obviously try to keep it minimal but I sure ain't contributing to low freight rates by pulling one. Especially in the northeast. Usually pays good enough coming in so I will be much more willing to bounce out empty if I have too.

 

You're absolutely right.....and for them that balance point is just having that rolling billboard on the road and in front of people. It's not like these trucks blend in with every white box going down the road. They stand out. They explained in orientation they sell furniture, not trucking, so there's huge value to them in just having the truck on the road keeping the brand name in front of as many eyes as possible.

Still a hard mindset to get used to though lol all these years I spent in management being centered on what my margin was every month and then trying to run my company truck like I own it and run at a profit as much as possible.......and then that line of thought gets turned 180 degrees.
