    I've lived in or travled through 30 states so far without getting into a truck. Hope to knock out 18 of those once I do, unfortunately that would call for me to do some serious NE runs lmao. Pac NW would be sweet though. :biggrin_25525:

    SO I delivered this morning and dead headed back to Conover. Then I went to go get my lube job done and the shop was PACKED so ya I brought my truck back to the terminal and turned in 4144 Miles worth of Trip envelopes from 12/07/10-12/17/10!:biggrin_255:

    Then I went and thanked Tim for getting me a new truck, and went through my permit book and got that squared away, hung out with him and RL for a little bit. I had tim check the computer to see if I had any log violations....and I only had 2, the first one wasn't my fault it was one of my log sheets from Orientation the day we did the mountain driving they didn't give us a trip no so there wasn't one on the log.....and the second one was from my 2nd load I didn't log scaling my load but I turned in the Scale slip lol But thats still really good for my 2 first months on the road.


    Then I asked dispatch for a load out on sunday, and came home.

    I was ALMOST home when he called me and asked if I could come back tomorrow:biggrin_2559:.......he said it was a good run to Texas with a few stops and since I'm here to make money and Texas is on my list on states I haven't been to I said yes. So I got my hair cut, now doing some laundry and then going to go get a microwave and some other stuff for my truck.

    Hey A.T. In regards to your ice experience, now you see why it is so important to have a CB! Had you not been warned ahead of time you may have been part of the ice fiasco!

    yea thats why I bought and built my CB 9 months before I went on the road. I can't wait to see how it works once I get a GOOD antenna for it.

    So I put my Furniture Dolly together the other day and it dosen't fit in front of the passenger seat anymore (now that it has the wheels on)....so I don't know where to keep it, Currently its laying in the upper bunk because its new and clean, but once I use it I'm not putting it up there anymore.......


    Anyone have any idea's????????:biggrin_2558:


    Catwalk is out we have some trailers with a 48" kingpin so it wouldn't fit....


    Back of the sleeper??? how and what should I sercure it too?




    Since I'm not near or in my truck I can't really look at the problem as of now, but the run I'm taking to TX tomorrow is a 13 stop furniture run so Its going to get dirty monday morning....






    Thanks!

    i had mine standing vertically on the catwalk and strapped to the stack brace. this was a volvo (#1386) and dolly was between the cab and the stack brace. not sure if this will work with your freightliner or not. the dolly will get dirty so have something to clean it off before you get a customer's new furniture all icky :)
