Bite your tongue man, my dispatcher might here you and get ideas.

Wednesdays are my Saturdays, so I'm kept close to home on them, furthest out I got today was 90 minutes from the yard.

 

Anybody be in Richfield today? We should be there about 12 so Dave can test out for his truck.

 

I probably could be but the way you move I know you're only going to be there long enough to slow down to 30 and boot his ### out the door at a roll.

I heard they are tearing down the Richfield truck stop, true?

 

Hahaha #### you know me so well...lol

Yup I heard a Kwik Trip is coming in over there. #### shame too. Always liked getting a good sitdown breakfast there when in Richfield for an extended time.

 

Welp student #5 David, has officially passed his road test and been given his very own Regional truck. We are off to Fennimore to deliver this load, then up to my 2nd home of La Crosse to grab a beer load back to Memphis that we will take home for the weekend, and David will grab his car and go home. Nathan should be at my house Sunday to start the process all over again lol.

Anyone going to be in Memphis Monday let my know.

 

Yeah they are top heavy when loaded, and they don't distribute weight to the steers very well, at least not on my truck. We have a few styles when it comes to the hopper configuration, whether by design or price point at the time of purchase or what I have no idea, and they pull a little better in center of gravity.

The vast majority of the style we have I would equate to hauling around a load of those 8 foot tall giant paper rolls every day. Sucked at the beginning but ya get use to it.
