    Preciate that Ryeman but I've already tried that. I made sure that was on, my switch, then i made sure my clutch wasn't sticking or something weird, but I give up. I'll let a mechanic look at it when I get a chance, lol

    Wats up guys. Got a load out of Etown around noon today that's goin to williamsport, Pennsylvania. Right now sitting at the Penn 80 t/s. Yea Baritone, I really do like this truck. I think it rides and maybe pulls a lil better than the T2. Also has a ton of room. The only thing I got to get use to is it feels like the truck leans more in curves, I guess because of the super singles but I ain't sure. As far as elogs, I just got to get use to it. I still find myself forgetting to go off duty when stopping at a rest area or somewhere real quick. Every minute counts, lol.

    Ive been on them for about 4 months now and still forget at times. But remember you can correct your log before you approve it.

    Well out of williamsport went and picked up a load in weedsport, ny heading to everyone's favorite randolph, mass. Delivered to randolph about 11 am today and waited for a load for bout 8 hours. The load I got is picking up in Versailles, Conn and heading to Chicago Carton. It's a nice run but the only problem is I had hometime in for this weekend starting Friday. Told evening dispatch this and they told me to check with my regular dispatch in the am. I might just say screw it and stay out another couple weeks Idk. Anyways me and another Millis driver drove on up to Versailles tonight but our loads ain't goin to be ready till least 12 noon tommorow. I guess its time to catch up on some sleep, lol. Hope everybody's running good

    Whats up everybody, just thought I'd give a update. I sit at Versaille's Conn for 22 hours waiting to get loaded Wednesday/Thursday. There was about 7 of us Millis guys there along with 4 other trucks waiting. Finally got loaded at 9pm Thursday. From there went to the T/A in i believe Milltown south of Hartford and did a swap with a driver to get me home for my home time. Got home a day late so dispatch told me just to head back out tuesday morning. While I was driving to Eden my truck starting doing that sputtering thing again like it did when I first got it. I did some research on it and I believe its the regen system acting up. Just hope it lasts till I have time to run it by a shop. The last couple of days ive been night rolling and let me tell ya, if you hate four wheelers thats the time to drive. There are none to be found on the road at early morning hours. Im thinkin bout doing the night time thing for a solid week or two and see if I make better miles that way. Also with winter time coming, im beginning to get the newbie winter jitters, any of you guys got some tips for my first winter. Everybody body have fun and be safe!
