The story of my adventure

My trainer drove through OK City while I slepted my hours back. We are in Tulsa now waiting on the KW dealer to work on this truck.

The S-Cam brackets need to be fixed and the truck needs to get it't DOT physical. Hahah

 

They allow a percentage each month. You and lose a bonus if you exceed that percentage. I try to keep the truck at or slightly below 65. Lower if I am at the end of my hour or endurance.. drive out of the LA basin wore me out. Only drive a 170 miles that day but it felt like 1700.

I was so tired I snapped at my trainer when he told me I should be doing something I was already doing bzcking into a space in a TS. Luckily he realized I just need some alone time and left me to do my own thing.. which was feeding my emotions to the tune of $15.00 worth of burger and fries. Hahahaha

 

Essentially he did. He called ahead when we were in OKC. Only thing he's taken my advice on. Hahahah. That and I kept him from making a wrong turn twice...

$112 for the inspection...

 

Holed up in St. Louis. Short day driving, but my shifting is getting better everyday. Most times I am already in motion to do something my trainer wants to make sure I am doing. He keeps asking why I downshift all the gears stopping at stop signs or lights and I just keep saying "practice"

He's sleeping more as I drive and that is a good thing. He will stop and take naps, but it cuts down on ththe hours we can run.. I feel comfortable enough now to run as a team and just wake him when I am suppose to or have too.


Company rules he has to be awake in construction zones and weigh stations. Not to mention immigration sweeps and the ag stops..

Time to go night night
