    Yeah it's convenient having the Sapps next to our yard. Especially when stuck doing a reset there

    So last month I hit 12800 miles. That's a little extra bonus money of about $600 productivity and about $100 bucks for the safety! Yahoo! It's been awhile since I hit the bonus level so that was cool.

    So after that Chester NY run, they sent me up to New Hampshire to pickup some Yogurt and take it to Dallas.

    Currently in route on this one. The schedule on this load is a little tight gotta be there by noon tomorrow.

    Should be okay though. Truck on!

    So had to change my normal running schedule to make delivery on time with this Dallas load. Getting up at 2am EST :biggrin_2556:. Was not fun but all in all i got through it ok, it took me couple of days to get use to it though.

    Also, along the way sense leaving Salt Lake with this trailer, there's been this tire that was bother me. Everytime I looked at it, it seemed to be worse.

    Finally just bit the bullet, called our maintenance team, sent pictures we discussed it and they said just go ahead and get it replaced. Stopped at our friendly Love's (We have national account there) and got it fixed. Moving on. 20200514_095200.jpg 20200514_112911.jpg

    So I am once again a Retired Person. I cleaned out my Ship Ex truck yesterday and drove home to Fernley Nevada. It was time to make our last move and get settled in for our real retirement. So we sold our home and will be moving to Tennessee later this month. Heading down there next week to look at properties. Looking back at the year I worked here the only real beef I had with them was home time. They could use some improvement in that area.

    Thanks to @atruckr for recruiting me. We had some good times and I have a new friend. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Stay safe my friend.
