    Arrghh, Company is making all techs sit through a safety video on safe driving habbits with a quiz at the end, funny thing is I was able to go through the quiz before the video ended and had everything correct, Mostly common sense and info that is in the the class E drivers manual for Florida. Considering some of the questions I am hearing no wonder why. Video was even saying you should do things that may be illigal in some area's

    Supposedly, I am getting out of here today. My company called around yesterday and found the part that was needed and had it shipped overnight. Hopefully tanks are done. Gotta check out of motel by 1100, and then get to sit at the truck place. I sure hope I don't end up back here tonight..... going crazy!!!!!

    I betcha the hills George was talking about is because he took US27 up to the turnpike instead of the flat easy way up SR33. ;) I'm more baffled over a Cummins engine in a TransAm 660????? I heard they were going to the Cummins in the newer 680s, but as far as I knew everything after the CAT 660s all had Paccar motors? I've got a Cummins in my current truck and love it though!!

    I've got my hometime load. I'm at my first stop, Ledbetter packing in Memphis, and there's a TransAm driver here. I deliver the final stop at Piggly Wiggly in Bessemer tomorrow morning then get to go HOME til Tuesday morning. The last couple days have been my usual run of bad luck crap. But I am so excited to be going home AND not be broke either. Husband also got taxes filed today and is buying an RV this afternoon.

    Let's see...using the words "broke" and "RV" in close proximity...

    Yup. Sounds about right. 😳

    US 27 north of I-4 has hilly terrain but after sniffing glue, I now realize that may be a figment of my imagination.

    Being a company driver, I am resigned to following the GPS or incur the wrath of a certain dispatcher (not mine) with a God complex. In Tallulah LA sniffing more glue so I can imagine better scenery than there really is in this state.

    Just came thru there yesterday, George. Definitely nothing to look at. On the bright side, it is a little warmer there.
