    Delivered my 600 mile load for Sonoma Williams, in Jamesburg NJ ran short on my 11 so will be picking up my backhaul after my 10 hr break and take it down to Pompano for a Monday delivery. Nearly 1800 miles in my first three days once I make it to Fort Pierce FL on Saturday. Gonna show them I want to run and will run at night too. Great start here!

    What is your initial impression of your Freightliner George? I mean, compared to the TransAm rigs most here have had a chance to drive.

    Passport, I gotta say I really like my freightliner. I think the storage might be a little better in the Kenworth but really enjoying my truck here. I had experienced with Freightliners with Abilene and think they are good work trucks, pull hills better that the Kennys.
