    Almost lasted a week without having words with Butthead(the new nickname for my ###-et manager because he spends so much time with his head up his butt). Today it tore loose. Have my PTA set for 8 a.m. Sunday. The brain trust put me on a load that picked up at 8:30 65 miles away, and delivered 395 miles away Sunday night. To which I refused, beyond my 14, but I offered to pick it up as soon as I could get there and either T-call it or deliver Monday...and I included a comment about what a waste of data having the drivers putting in PTA's on load calls was when nobody pays attention to it anyway...then a rather heated discussion between butthead and I about how he was gonna send me home to get my head and my attitude straight...told him then that would be it for me as as Shaffer driver because I would come back out of the house as either a Crete driver, a Hunt driver or a former Acklie driver, again....and a little more back and forth and he finally had enough and we stopped communicating for the week. It took longer this time to make him leave me alone..I must be slipping

    Parked as a bobtail. Took a bit of moving back and forth, inch by inch to break the ice on my drums. 20211210_160027.jpg

    Also i-80 west is closed till Saturday and trucks are parked all up the side streets and even blocking people in at the 2 truck stops in town. Even turning 2 lane roads to 1 lane where you have to drive in the middle to get by causing everyone on the other side problems.

    Why doesn’t the newbie move his bobtail out of a regular parking spot is the question I have.

    Normally would not park in regular spots, but no one could get in here due to 3 trucks parked side by side in front so I took it. :D

    i am very glad checked radar before choosing i90 or 84/80 back east. Wyoming has really great cameras and it did not look like a good time.
