    Loading in Corinth, MS going to Kansas City. Almost wrecked coming up here. Had a car pull off from the shoulder on TN385 from a dead stop. No signal or anything. Had a car to my left so i couldnt change lanes. Had to lay on the brakes hard (i was empty) and came so close his trunk lid disappeared in front of my hood. Shook me up.

    Staged at the Loves in Shartlesville PA. I usually avoiding like the plague except for scaling when I pick up nearby. But at least I was here early enough to grab a spot and shoot on out at about 0400.

    Its a zoo in here. Fuel lines were 2 and 3 deep deep and 2 drivers started pushing and shoving but I missed the good stuff. Another driver was getting ready to get a beating for going in for his scale ticket while still parked on the scale.

    The good news. DD next door and free wifi at McDonalds.

    Hangin out here in New Kensington PA waiting for my food to get here . :)
    I am starving

    Figured i'd park at the shipper since they have places that deliver food close by , and bathrooms . Now I will have a fresh clock to start once I get loaded tomorrow. .

    I delivered here thismorning and would you believe they made me go about 80 miles one way to get a washout to get loaded . Geeeezssss. The trailer wasnt even dirty at all.... smh :biggrin_25513:

    You know , I bought a dash cam about a week ago and I have only turned it on once or twice . Lol

    I think I am gonna buy a bigger card for it so it takes video longer then 4 hrs. Then maybe i'll use it more ....
     
    FatDaddy Thanks this.

    lol. Yes it records over it. I did buy a card that has 10 hrs of recording time in HD though. That way I something happens during my shift I want to look at I don't have to worry about it being erased
