Taking another swing at it

Earlier in my career, I drove a Freighliner Columbia glider for a local regional carrier. Not having the DEF junk was nice.

 

The pre DEF is actually what attracted me. Maybe I'm too old school, sort of . I started out in a Columbia so I'm very comfortable in it. I don't see having a big hood and a wheel base requiring a football field to turn in appealing. I grew up a transformers fan, but have no desire to drive either the original or new concept of Optimus prime.

 

I think me parked on a hill has something to do with my fuel gauge reading 1/8+ when I parked and now shows E with the light on. I hope it's the hill. It's 20 miles to a fuel stop

 

No worries. You always get 35 mpg on fumes. It's a rule.

 

Turns out I was correct. The hill made my gauge misremember how much I really had.

 

Record cold temps has made me choose to idle the truck overnights while home

 

I hate waking up, even in my own house, and seeing the '-' sign in front of a number on my outside temperature station. I am so ready to sweat and complain about the heat.

 

Irritated today. I made assumptions that a things were equal. I made it home a day late in the afternoon . As I always do, I take the extra day at home. Load planner wanted me to head out tonight, to Texas. I said I'm taking my extra day and they got all bent out of shape. I always take 3 days. It should be known by now .

 

If it is not know by now it will be. If they don't get the hint then they have issues.

 

Thanks for the tread. I found your name in someone else's post about the company. I just got approved for them today, and after reading your post, makes me feel a little more comfortable about going though with there l/p. I fly out monday to start orientation Tuesday. Thanks again for your thread
