Are you using the CAT scale app? If not, I highly recommend it!

 

I agree, that is the best thing since the bread slicer.

 

In November, I had TA come to a truckstop in AR I overnighted at to replace my Cascadia starter. Only $940.

 

I have it on my phone but havent used it yet. No real good reason why I havent. I should do that now and get it setup.

 

Well, I was a bit hardheaded and didn’t want to use the app in the beginning and I now loathe having to scale any other way!

 

Was having a crappy start to my day thanks to drivers who suddenly find their gas pedal when you pass them, and one dirt bag prime driver, but made my drop asap and hauled butt to my pick up to get loaded early. Should be able to easily run it down to eaton, OH. That should put me within 8 hours of my drop for a red eye and sneak in a 34. Maybe then I'll get a decent run.

 

I've had a few "short" runs recently. But boy have they kept me busy! I'm sitting at about 9300 miles this month and that's with 5 days off and there are still 5 days left this month. I've been doing some night running as well. Can't really help it! Go! Go! Go!

Sometimes it's like "come on, give me a break" but at the same time it's like "heck yeah, give me more"

 

Right now I’m at 10095 miles and came out on the 2nd and have had 3 layover days. Already preplanned on a little over 1K miles before Monday and my hours are gonna start getting thin on recaps.

 

Was supposed to drive through the night and drop my trailer in Coon rapids, then take a trailer to park rapids and pick up a preloaded trailer. The night drive was brutal. Had to stop a few times too walk around. Then stopped to take a 30 min nap. Finally got to CR and decided to take an 8 hour break and get some sleep since its a preloaded trailer. I was spent and couldn't drive 3 hours to park rapids.

So Chad called me this afternoon and was like yeah... That trailer is not preloaded. So he had to reschedule my appt for tomorrow morning. Not sure where that ball was dropped. Maybe my fault because I was supposed to go straight there, but the trailer was supposed to be preloaded so my plan should have worked out. Oh well, I pick up in the morning. I got my necessary rest.

Everyone get your cameras installed? Looking forward to that bonus!

 

If youre not running nights regularly, that first night can be hell, thats for sure. Without over dosing on caffeine, i think those red bottle energy drinks that pilot sells are a good crutch. No crash, good energy when you take it in 1/4 amounts at a time and wont make you have to wiz like crazy. Just my 2 cents, a large coffee is like $2, these are $4 and better IMO.
