MY EXPERIENCE AS A Mercer FLATBED DRIVER

well, no go on the minnesota load. didnt want any of the others loads offered, so i decided to take a cajun vacation. all in all considering the miles i ran and loading on monday coming after 12 days off i didnt do bad, ran 1550 miles including deadhead , after the fuel and fixed expense was left with 1450 bucks. not bad for 2 easy loads.

again not much excitement just normal week , only excitement was the burned up risinger truck at the t/a in tallulah,la.

again, i am a happy camper. on a side note, i can cook up some killer vittles with this burton oven. tonite was potatoes, 4 small sweet peppers chopped, 1 vidalia onion chopped, a chopped carrot, and a sliced smoke sausage.

for lunch i had a salad with cherry tomatoes , bacon bits, shredded cheese and balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. yester day i did chicken, rice and tomatoes with green chillies, that was killer also

 

no, this guy pulled in the front to the left of the fuel island up part way on the grass, didnt hurt anyone elses truck.

 

well i have been behind, well in ended up in pa and ended up with 2150 clear money on 1518 miles , one load, and picked up in oh to texas and will clear 2200 , siiting here in odessa to deliver fri morning. since unloading in pa friday the 17th i have deadheaded 100 miles to youngstown, oh, loaded to odessa for 1576 miles loaded and 100 deadhead, for a total of 1676 for the week.

i am just completely worn out, lol . on a good note, the old bar b truckstop at exit 370 on i-20 gordon, tx has a dang good hamburger. that burger , tater tots and banana pudding was great. i reccommend it, and the fried bologna, pinto beans, home fries, and sliced onions and cornbread at exit 63 on i-30 in arkansas, huge parking lot there also

 

well the circle bar in ozona, tx exit 372 was the lastest in my culinary adventures. friday afternoon they have a fish special. i got fish and shrimp soup, salad, a shrimp ####tail, 3 catfish, 12 shrimp, a salmon patty, hushpuppies, mexican corn, pinto beans , french fries and a piece of cake for $9.99 dang good price and it was cooked perfectly.

then the next stop was at sealy texas exit 716 , one of the better mexican plates i have had in a while 3 tacos, rice and beans for 6.49.


just riding around enjoying life. i love my job.

 

it was unreal, it was a bargain for the price. i couldnt beleive when they kept bringing it out.
