Parked Here for the Night

Well waiting for a load. Eastern time zone dispatch gets us loads around the end of the day, after they get the pickups from the buyers. Should be the last night hanging at home in Salinas.

Of course if the salad aint ready, or I finish loading late, I catch a ride home and worry about it in the morning. No point in sleeping in the truck if my bed is 2 miles away.

 

good deal...



Are your trucks governed now ?? I know the 900L's with the reefers use to run pretty good..

 

Just got a call from corporate that I was selected as IC of the month for October. $200 bonus in my pocket. I'll take it.

 

Its kinda weird . Some are and some arent. The one I am in now with the guy thats training me will run 75 , a couple of the w9's will basically run till it runs out of gear. I guess it depends on whos truck it is.


He told me tonight its all me . He will be here incase I get in trouble , but other then that . He said its the best way to learn the do's and donts. He said as long as I feel comfortable. So tonight should be a learning experience. Lol


And let me say , its a whole nother ball game driving with a spread axle.

 

We are back out and rolling again... Heading down 95 towards Phoenix, AZ...

 

your on the wrong freeway. I 5 goes nowhere near phoenix.

 

Dump valve on the back axle I hope ?

I can't believe Swift didn't train you on spread axels !! LOL

 

Yup , there is a dump on the rear for turns. The trailer is pretty too , it has 36 leds on each side . Lol
we definitely are not gonna hide from anyone.

It looks like I may get a straight deck , but I was saying that if we have an extra pot I would rather use that since I am so tall. I got in a straight deck just to look inside and man I am bending over so far that I sort of have a small fear of not escaping fast enough if I need too. What are youer thoughts on that ?

I missed that day in training at swift. Hahaha

 

Welp, I'm fed and watered! Got my feets up watching the show that is folks trying to park. At the Petro in ATL till the AM. Got a lil short hopper back to the Rocket, then see what I can get into.
GT is them lil piggies feeders or goin to the plant? I've hauled rodeo stock in a pot some and I'm 6'5" so I know what you mean bout the low ceiling. Couldn't imagine walkin the tween deck on a straight. Anywho, keep tween the ditches driver. Go make a hand!
