I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Da troot, da whole troot, and nuttin but da troot!!

 

Got a workout doing a double drop/hook at Lowe's. Left the empty off to the side and bobtailed to a little Chinese place across the street. The Hot Chick (who graciously decided to let me live after my crotch pot comment) can't eat soy so she's over at Panera Bread getting some twigs and bark. We'll meet up at Big Lots after dinner to grab another duffel then hook and scram to the yard. She decided not to cook tonight. I choose life, so I didn't argue.

 

(The Hot Chick is a health food enthusiast. She's allergic to soy, so she eats as close to natural as she can. I kid her that she has a diet of twigs, bark, and clover with occasional berries. And annoying truckers.)

 

I really hate true detective type tv shows. Just sayin'

 

Sitting at the yard in Pontoon Beach IL. Showers, laundry, paperwork, maybe a movie in the truck. We've decided to pack in the morning. Check in to shop. Then call Risinger, then call Gordon. Hopefully will be en route to Risinger before lunch.

My life is so freaking exciting. I may just explode.

 

I'm getting a white '14 VNL670 with the D13, 12 speed iShift automatic and Volvo Intebrake. Don't know the rear ends but last one I had was like 2:73 or something--Volvo pumpkin with a tag rear axle. It never saw less than 7mpg.

I'm pretty sure they're mostly Volvos. I'm doing the Premium lease, payments are a bit more but the maintenance deduction is $.06 vs $.12 for the older trucks. Also my truck will have a balloon at the end of the lease based on retail market value; the older trucks have a $1 buyout. My truck was a team truck before so the term is only 72 weeks. I can buy it for the balloon pmnt (financed at current payment) or swap out for another truck.

Gonna go over it with a fine toothed comb and a magnifying glass. And let my goat sniff it over.
