2010 prostar.....had 66K on it when I got it Oct 9th. now has 90K. I like the truck, just not the shop! It needed an alignment because the original driver either hit a curb very hard, or someone backed into him??? The right side steer tire is a Bstone, and all others are goodyears.... Of course they won't tell you the history of the truck when you get it so I will never know for sure.

 

how many miles did your other truck have?

 

440 K. I was in that truck for 92 days. Since it did not have over 500, 000 on it, I did not qualify for a zero mile truck. Still can't figure that one out, but, I did get a different truck. No offense to anyone, but I just don't like the W900.

 

What on earth yall there already?? Would take up on ur offer but I get homecooked meal instead.

 

Thx!!

5.3 was the QC. My math is actually showing a tad bit better at 5.5. I will try some Lucas. Thx fer the info!! I am still working on getting into the 6"s. Not giving up yet.

 

Thx!!

Tried to get them to pay me by the letter but they gave me some free fuel instead Who am I to argue with that

 

11-30
Louisville KY to Tulsa OK 94 MT miles. 655 Loaded miles.
NO lumpers. Did take 7.5 hrs to get loaded tho. No extra pay.
Finally got out of Louisville. Went I-64 West to Pilot/Leavenworth IN to scale, got it right 1st try. Steers 11880 - Drives 33640 - Trailer 33860 - with under 1/2 tank fuel

Couldn"t have done that 2x in a row. JCT pays for scales. Time to git gone, Rollin rollin rollin, keep them doggies rollin...

Skipped chow since planning on meeting Honey for breakfast. Continued on and got home at 0 dark 30. Called my Honey and she met me for breakfast. Ate at T/A since I had enuff points for FREE FOOD + time constraints.

Got fuel and went on to Tulsa since delivery is 12/1 # 1400pm. {P.S. it has been 12/1 for just a "short" time now. }

12/1
Made early delivery. NO lumpers. Nice folks, very pleasant.

Got next load info while getting unloaded. P/U in Muskogee OK going to Ontario CA. P/U time is right around the corner close.

After unloaded, beatfeet straight to Muskogee, got there 15 minutes late. Not a problem, back into dock & we"ll getcha loaded now. KOOL !!

Oh, by the way, we added a stop in Phoenix AZ. More smiles and xtra pay $$ fer me!!

50 MT miles. 1455 Loaded miles, + xtra delivery pay

Scale load at Pilot there in Muskogee. Another heavy haul, Steers 11940 - Drives 33200 - Trailer 33960 - Got just over 1/2 tank this time.

Time to roll on down the road. Made it to Armadillo. This was a lonnnngggg day night day again.

Starting to feel like LMB, whew I am sooooo tired. Where"s that dang beach house at??

Time fer beddybye

12/2
Up with the morning sun, or is that still the moon. Heck I can"t tell anymore. Oh man that's bright, I need my shades, must be the morning sun. Better make sure I am not standing on a set of Railroad tracks first. Nope, ok.

Fuel, food 2 go, and gone. Gotta be in Phoenix 12/3 # 0700. Talk about a tight run.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes. Let it all hang out 'cause I gotta run to make. beep beep, Look out, comin thru.

12/3
Got to Phx early. Take a nap. I think it is a long enuff time to qualify as a nap. Back into their dock so I don't have to worry about setting an alarm. They only have 1 dock so they will definitely knock on the truck when they get to work.

BOOM BOOM BOOM, Right on time, ohh it is way too early for this #### ok, I am up...I think...

Yank their 4 pallets off and I am rolling westbound and down again. Hope I get past Banning scales this time.

Hey JARBO, is this how it's done??

Whew, I am in Ontario CA now and appointment is for 0200 PT. I should be sleeping but instead I am on the dang "puter writing a post

Like the song says, I can sleep when I'm dead.

P.S. Got past Banning with a GREEN light this time. PrePass rocks dude
