    They called 5 trucks out of staging. I was number 5. Mr imported driver takes off in front of me. He was never told to leave because he goes in the next group. Luckily the idiot stopped. I told him this isn’t Amazon relay and he needs to get his #### together. I’m not going to tolerate this at all.

    Two loads tonight.

    Gas is slow this time of year.

    Good news is, I got to Waffle House earlier than usual.

    Got the sausage egg and cheese hash brown bowl, topped with chili.

    Then, after a few more cups of coffee, I went all in on a double pecan waffle.

    My belly is happy.

    Tain of a hunnerd dozen mofos commenced while I was at WH.

    I made it home safe and dry, and the next three days off......

    I am jealous. I got a sub from Sheetz that took 20 minutes and looked like a toddler put it together. I Did have a nice conversation with another driver so it wasn’t all bad.

    Snowing here. It’s 35. Hopefully they don’t shut the roads down. I had a late start tonight. I said I was changing oil last week…..well I lied to y’all. I did it yesterday evening.

    It's 37 in Dallas. 30 mph winds, truck is rocking now and then. I had a load that hasn't come thru yet. I would back to the house Monday or Tuesday. The weather is saying 5 to 8 inches of snow on Friday. I'm thinking I might just try to grab something going right back so I can be there when it happens and shovel it. It's going to get real cold after the snow. I have a window open for the cat now and my bedroom heater is on, not same room as open window. But a low of 5 with an open window can't be good.
