    Easy enough day.

    Left out at 5am, got to the San Antonio area at 1245, pulled into the Blue Beacon to get my truck washed (it was covered in salt from up north). Sat there 1.5 HOURS before i could even get in, then they did a sheety job after all that lol

    Also learned something new....chrome + Blue Beacon = White chrome......########! lol



    So now i gots LOTS of stuff to polish.....Gonna see if they sell buffers here at the TA since my arm wont last long enough to do a whole truck. Front bumper looks good.


    AND they messed up all my mirrors, had to fix them all, still arent where they were:biggrin_25510:


    Then I fueled/parked. Got another LST driver in a New truck like 5 spots away too


    I'll post some pics at somepoint. I may not even polish it since its winter i donno yet. Suposed to be 75 tomorrow so i may do it then

    I would say it seems like a lot of miles for the size of the check...

    no i gave my fridge/freezer to the watkins driver that got my old truck, and im not buying one for this truck since there is no room. And all of the new trucks have Fridges in them already from peterbilt so it would be a waste of money to even buy another one lol

    That was what I was saying, but the rate per mile seems right for a driver new to a company.

    I'll pm you my number. No since im a "trainee" i am restricted to Legal loads for my first 6 months, which is fine with me i'd rather be more comfortable secureing things before i have to worry about permits/curfews and all that crap.
