Millis OTR journal

When’s the last time anyone has done a broker load? It’s been over a year for me.

 

I don't know when my last broker load was either, I don't think I've done many.

 

Has anyone had any good experiences with phone holders? Especially ones available at Pilot or Loves? I've had a couple I got elsewhere that broke and I'd like to get one that will last.

 

Both of mine have broken. Only going to invest in the $5 ones now.
Also last night had to drop off an old trailer in Indy. Was told to back it down the dirt path outside the gate since they were going to be closed. Was nervous about that because there really isn’t much room to begin with. Worried for nothing because the previous millis driver just dropped his trailer across from gate so didn’t have to crush my cab extenders. Just drove down the path dropped trailer and backed out.

 

I ended up getting a Cupfone from WeatherTech with the extension so it's elevates up towards you. A little pricey at $35 but Made in USA and very solid. It works and has not broken. Only drawback is it takes up one of your cup holders.

 

Skip the Chargeworx one like I got at Pilot. It wouldn't even attach to the vent and I couldn't find anywhere I could attach it.

 

I ain't had one in a good minute and I am happy about that.

 

I don’t want to take all the credit for dropping the idle % down 1.2% but to me it seems like I did. Only time this week my truck was on was when it was in motion. Luckily I was up north so I enjoy cooler temps.

 

I was an underachiever there too, but increased my idle time this week after the batteries died during the night and I needed to charge them up again as well as waiting longer than usual at a fuel stop with 1 line for all the pumps.

 

Interested to see the new pay scale wonder if it will be in the form of bonuses or increased cpm.
