My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

So far not too bad. Have to get used to the 642 Qualcomm messagesi have to send a day ( obviously I'm stretching by saying 642. Can't be more than 610) and driving a 63 mph truck. Gotta learn I can't just run like hell down the hills anymore. It's a nice truck, though. I'm sitting in Caldwell at the J for dinner and my old Lessors truck is sitting here. Lol. It's like I'm being stalked. Yeah well. Not too shabby I must say. Getting a nice 2000 mile load helped along with that sign on bonus. I feel more relaxed over here. I'll keep you kids posted on more. One of the things I didn't think I'd care for was the routing and the fuel solutions. It routes the same way I would and it has you go to different stops, which is kind of nice because you can add showers here and there. Not bad. They are crazy safety oriented here with multiple safety messages coming across the Qualcomm too.

 

By the way, 63 mph sounds awfully slow. And at first, it kind of is. Then you get used to it and 65 feels like you're on a jet. Lol.

 

I'm used to passing everyone. Now I'll be able to see the right side of some of these trucks!

 

Can't say on average miles just yet, first load, 2008 miles. Not too shabby. But I am liking a lot about them. Very driver oriented. The don't go cheap on the trucks, this Cascadia rides super smooth, I had one with Lessors and this is definitely a better truck. They also give you road & weather updates over the Qualcomm, that's something I never saw before. Also, you use your comcheck card to pay for scales. And this prepass thing? Holy #### I love it. From Washington to Missouri I haven't even slowed down for a scale. It's the little things that amuse me.
