    Deland sent out the warning about non-compliant trucks getting turned down a while back too. I thought they were working on the system that would limit your fuel card to work only at the locations they send...must be a lot more complicated than they originally thought.

    It can be done though. The company I worked for prior opened fuel stops within their network of Pilot/FJ and TAs. They set the fuel amount so that it’d auto stop also.

    Nothing puckers your butt like making a turn and seeing a 13' - 6 sign. Bridge was right before my pickup and you can see all the damage on it from those probably bring 14' intermodel cans to this paper mill.

    If bring a reefer like I did, it will need to be dry as well as clean inside to get loaded. Loading is real fast once in a door.

    Made my way to just 58 miles to final and got super lucky on this spot. Parked at a loves that is next door to an Amazon warehouse and 40% of the spots are filled with single bobtail. One happened to be leaving right when I was making my way back out and I quickly grabbed it.

    Noticed on my post trip, I have a leak in the sidewall of one of my trailer tires. Trailer has that auto fill system that's keeping it from going flat, but by morning I'm sure it will be deflated unless I run the truck the whole time.

    It seems every other load has had issues. Paper load did not go as planned. Made it to my delivery and they offloaded it in under 10 minutes. However they left some small rolls on the trailer.

    Told me those were bound for their other warehouse 1 mile away even tho the bills have no mention of this. Dispatch says to just go over and they will add a stop, however other place won't take them because I need an apt. So they had me drop them at the terminal in town.

    No empties as usual however they did offer me 2 loads that are dropped at the terminal. 1 is only 24 mile load but has all day tomorrow to deliver so can squeeze in a 34 at the yard.

    This just cracks me up, poor guy xD

    Guy forgot to raise the landing gear before pulling out and bottom out. The trailer wording that's makes this so much more funny xD

    Got this as he went to the passenger side to start the crank of shame
