    8-15 picks? Yuk! I hqve been running overnights lately. Kinda squeamish about calling folks in the wee smalls unless I know I wont be waking you. Us vampires dont like to be TOO rude. Ha!

    Unserstand completely. I do the same. Still, no matter how many times I see carnage, it never gets easier. Props to you emt, leo, and medical types. Its all good now though. The drivers are going to be fine.

    Just got msg that we lost a jct driver in an accident. Please be careful guys.

    i fully understand, for those of you connected to me or others on Facebook, a neat navigation/social app to check out is waze. It is free and interactive great way to avoid road hazards including bears but also it shows if your friends are driving so if they (I) are one would think calling would be safe.
     
    Jarhed1964 Thanks this.

    A macro 41 puts you on a list of available trucks for relay. You will never receive a reply from sending a macro 41 it is a part of the automated system.

    Well it did it again to me. Had to go thru the trash to find an old message for TTR. You all sure have posted a lot since last time I was here. But any who.... Sitting in Gallup, NM at the Love's getting ready to take my 10 before heading over to Mira Loma for Costco on Mon morning. Finally was able to get by the house for a few days since I started driving for these guys. (Only 5 days late.) So hopefully I will be able to be lucky as Sharpp said on how fast and easy they are for unloading there.

    Nah. No R's for me, thanks. I have a non R that has been thrashed by careless drivers. This is the fourth trailer that I have had to zip tie the pigtail to because of no plug door.


    Hmmmmm.... Apparently the Sapulpa shop didnt bother fixing my cruise control switch like I asked them to. Wonder if they charged me for it? Gonna have to chat with Delbert about this and the coolant loss (egr), and why they choose to continue to ignore the egr. Time to get a maint history on this truck. $100 says the previous driver had the same complaints.

    Colton has a couple places that sell fuel for .20+ less than typical Cali prices.

    Hole in the wall mom & pop joints, but who cares right?

    I try to leave Cali on I-10 and hit Buckeye Love's in AZ.

    They always have the lowest prices in the state, and it's a welcome relief exiting fuel price hell to reach a desert oasis.
