Running With Shipex

Well i am parked in the SLC yard awaiting a load home. Been here since Monday. No load yet. Gotta love salary!!

 

Must be nice for sure haha. Still counting down my days till I can apply again.

 

No load, so they deadheaded me home today. I appreciated it very much. Home until Monday.

 

Awesome!

 

I'm in Nevada IA. Delivering this load of frozen chicken (I'm a chicken hauler now.. lol) Looks like a short day today 200 miles. They are are looking to load me out tomorrow letting my hours to do some needed catching up. Working on heading home at the end of the month. Fingers crossed!

 

So i joined Shipex mile off contest this month for the fun of it. We compete against each other to see which one gets the most miles in the month. The winners get their truck turned up and some other stuff like t shirts or hat. Kinda cool. Makes it interesting. Anyway I'm lucky this month so far leading by about 2000 miles against my rival. Yay!

 

Well my home time has been extended.....I was unloading my truck at the Fernley Flying J and I slipped and fell out of my truck onto the pavement. Not a good thing. I have a bruised up right knee, left ribs and shoulder. Broke my watch too. Called work and let them know. Hopefully workmans comp will cover it since I was in a company vehicle when it happened. My health insurance does not kick in until August 1st. We shall see.....

 

Good Christ! That’s quite a welcome home. Hope you get on the mend soon.

 

To what and for how long will they turn your truck up to?

 

Its turned up to 70 mph permanently, unless you screw up somehow. Presently our trucks do 62 on the pedal and 66 on cruise.
