    2 drivers in a single truck... 7 mile drive with all right turns.. and a straight line back for the first driver, a back into a space at the yard for the 2nd driver. I drove a spread for 2 years and still couldn't get it well. just pull up as many times as you need to so it's right.

    Find a spread easier to back than closed axles because it turns slower. I love spread axles, especially air ride.

    I just hauled that tow away trailer that was 48' with closed axles at the back and spring suspension. I got the crap beat out of me with that thing, I hate spring ride trailers now lol

    You know it. Night dispatch asked me why I blew the tire, I told her it was making mean faces at me, she just laughed and sent someone out lol. Took my mudflap and bracket with it, also 3 lights.

    Had to replace three lights and go to the TA to have a new mudflap bracket welded on and to have a new mudflap installed.

    I dropped off onions after having to repower it due to the other drivers truck breaking down. Sat in dallas for a few hours, then got a load picking up in Pharr and going to Aberdeen, WA. Get to the Pharr yard at 11 with 2 hrs left on my clock, I go inside for my paperwork...and I got popped for a wiz test...so here i sit, waiting to wiz in a cup...

    In port reading, NJ. Was supposed to deliver these pipes this morning but the work site is shut down for today, so I'm at a service plaza on the turnpike until tomorrow morning. Only place to park around here other than the job site, but I wanted a toilet and sink instead of a porta potty lol

    Pickup tomorrow in Houston going to Laredo. Tammy said it's a 12' wide by 14'2" high load. This'll be my third OD load in a row. Anything to bump me up to Level 2 faster is fine by me.
