JJ's Place

Well, guess a neighbor complained. Had a notice on the trk that I was in violation and needed to move the trk. Least they didn't give me a ticket.

 

our home owners assoc. stays on my ### about my truck parked next to the nouse . my neighbor has a f=700 service truck used for heavy equipment with the boom crane and welders all mounted on it plus his truck is a,, steel where mine is alum and fiberglass it actually weighs a lot less than his BUT his is o.k. so i've just said f'um and keep on parking mine at home. not the first neighbor in my area has a problem its the assoc pres on the otherside of the subdivision and he never has to see it ubless he comes down my street which is out of the way for him.

 

lucky you. i'm having emergency gum operation to fix the swelling. they cut the gums and scrape the top of the roots.

 

Been there, done that, sucks to be you. You will get over it tho and feel much better!!!!

 

We could never leave the Semi in the driveway when we lived in the subdivision, they used to leave us warnings on the front door

 

At the hook in Dodge City. Good gawd!!!! They've changed everything around. Nothing cept the registers and showers are in the same place. Still doesn't quite look like a peelot tho.

 

Straight back driving was interesting. 3 hours of it was kinda boring, but thats what swift requires so, I learn to backup, YAAAAAAA. Tomorrow is more pre-trip training and BACKING UP, YAHHHHOOOOOOoooooo...... Can you see the joy

 

Gotta tell ya AIN, when I was going to my tech school for my license, I got so tired of backing I thought I would puke. Got out here and found out it still wasn't enough!!! In school, you have marks you learnt to set up on. Out here, you gotta figure your own out. Just sayin.

 

backing is a very important part of the job.

95 % of your entire career driving time will be spent BACKING.
70% of that backing time will be spent doing 10 point maneuvers around trailers and walls and such.
$5,000 is what it takes to teach you how to back.

5% of the time you actually move forward. that part of the tuition is free since you shoulda learned to move forward when you first got your license. LOL

 

At a rest area in WA since I refuse to spend any money here heading back to Portland later to pick up next load going to Boise ID and then back to Commiefornia with more French Fries so even with JJ having two days of the miles won't be bad.
