My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

Last night was much less eventfull. Did my normal run, we all brought back loads...but we had them all done by 7am!


Then dispite my pure hatred of furniture i went out and bought myself a whole bunch of new crap about $2200 worth, and since i've lumped enough of that crap i was more then willing to pay $175 and wait 7 days for THEM to deliver, and carry up the stairs hahahaha

last night, had to get another trailer tire replaced before leaving, to a heavy for us load 29,900lbs to south hill, and got a 30,000lbs load back to charlotte, got back at 0345am worked the dock till 830am.

I cant wait for this week to end, im so tired of this...

Well last night was a long night...Normally im #2 or #3 truck to show up in south hill, well i got there at 1015pm and i was the only one there...at 1215AM #2 shows up and at 1245AM #3 shows up.

I get back to charlotte at 415am, and worked the dock until 0930am.

Then after work i went and got my hair cut...normally as most of you know i just buzz it. But i decided i wanted to do somthing differant. I used to do alot with my hair when i was younger until i joined the USAF Aux and just buzzed it from then on out. Anyway so i go to a real barber with a picture of what i wanted....well yep he couldnt have made my hair look any further from the pic if he tried BUT i kinda like how it came out. Got a little more work to do to get it right.

Anyway then i installed a Marine 12V socket on the boat, to power my sat radio, charge my cell and stuff, then i spent 3 HOURS cleaning the boat, then put it away. I'll be takeing it out tomorrow with some friends to see if she floats haha...im not going down alone! lol

had a pretty good day on the lake on sunday, found more crap i gotta fix on the boat, but the weather was great and the boat ran good.


monday:


someone took my truck again so i got stuck in a pos, had to barrow pliers from the shop to put the window down (no crank handles) the seat wouldnt lean back at all, no lumbar suport, VERY uncomfortable and worst of all, NO RADIO! 7 hour drive listening to nothing but the tires humming, the truck rattleing, and the wind deffining me. THEN it starts to rain in VA so i had to buy pliers from the Pilot so i could close the stupid window.

but the night ended good we got out at 515am! so i actully got to sleep 8 hours today!
