Millis OTR journal

You'll learn to not give a #### with some more experience lol. If im not blocking anyone then screw then I'll move when I can lol

 

Sort of did what you said. Another Millis driver was done unloading and said he was headed towards Trenton and was 12th in line. Lol I wasn’t going to wait in line at Trenton. Typed into Qualcomm to dispatcher that I found a cubbyhole to hide in at receiver and the only way I was gojng to Trenton was if I got kicked out. 5 minutes later I had a load out of Covington Ky to Milwaukee.

 

Sort of like a dentist complaining about bad breath.

 

Ya I was pretty dumbfounded. Between that comment, almost hitting a oversize tire load, and almost hitting a stopped car at a stop light it made my decision pretty easy to call Greg. I called Greg at 11am and I was dropping him off at his hometown truck stop by 4. Like i said, less than 30hrs on my truck and 5.5hrs of driving was enough for me. Never seen someone so nervous. Freaked out cuz started raining, freaked out about the oversize in the oncoming lane of a 2 lane highway...so much so he moved toward the muther ####er instead of toward the shoulder.

I'll enjoy being solo for few more weeks

 

Attention, rumor mill.
I’m in Richfield for b service. I hear through the grapevine that LeeRoy is coming back. Best deisel mechanic ever.

 

1. On a completely different note, there's something about the stereos in these Kenworths that annoys the ever loving crap out of me. Most of the time when I listen to music, I play it on my phone through the stereo bluetooth. This works great. What sucks is if I still have the input set to bluetooth when I get out of the truck and take my phone with me. When the phone gets out of range, the bluetooth naturally disconnects. What's annoying is that it changes the input to WX. What makes this even more annoying is that the volume level for bluetooth is considerably lower than WX even when I have the volume maxed on my phone, so I have to turn the volume up a bit on the stereo. So when I return to the truck, I either have a super loud weather report blaring in my ear or super loud static. As far as I know there's no way to "fix" this. I wish there was a way to make the stereo input default to Front Aux when it loses contact with the bluetooth device so I can return to a silent truck.
