What if it Snows?

Got lucky this morning. had a deer in my sights , was driving down us 89 north of kanab utah and deer ran up on me while pulling a little hill . i got on the breaks he kept running towards the truck, well i tried to center him up to get a clean hit and not take out the headlight and fender all while saying " please dont, please dont, please dont!!" he was maybe 1 ft from the bumper and bailed out last second and went back the way he came ." holy #### that was close!!" .

then about 20 miles later was battling some ice right as the sun was comin up dropped down to the low 20 degrees and rode thru them mountains was slicker than heck in them shady spots

Then runnin down i40 west bound around williams, az. right before that brake check , some dumb ####in white volvo moron passed me in the left lane as i was doin 70 in the right lane and he cut in front of me about 6ft in front my bumper and slammed on the brakes and exited for the brake check . had to do everything i could to keep from smokin that dumb #### in the ### and he got every bit of air i had in that airhorn . thats why i try to stay off them big roads to avoid all them idiots but only ran 40 for about 40 miles and got off.

i had enough of today. Somebody take this full moon and shove it so all the crazies will go away

 

Man u not kidding about deer city LOL i bailed off i15 south of beaver utah and hit utah 20 and not 3 miles down that road it was a dead one on the shoulder, as soon as i turned off to 89 there was one splattered all over the road looked like it had just been hit recently. Not to mention the deer road signs every 2 miles , I thought to myself " oh boy this is gonna be a long morning". I either am the luckiest guy in the world or the deer i almost hit was real smart and figured out real fast that he was gonna die if he take another step lol . would make me feel better if i had a deer bumper on this truck

 

I found D.Tibbitts bad luck. Rolled at 0530 and hit my 1st drop at 0700. As I was making a left in the left lane on a 3 lane, 1 way road into the dirt parking lot, some old ##### came flying up the on my left and tagged my front bumper with her right rear quarter panel. I was going so slow that I stalled the truck when I hit the brakes as soon as I saw her and she glanced off me hard enough that she did a 180 in the dirt and went back out into the lanes of traffic.

She told the responding officers that "she sidnt see me". Im in a giant white semi with a giant white dry van.

I honestly think she came flying through the intersection that was behind me, saw me going slow and whipped to the left where there wasnt even a lane, just some space for on street parking right before the rail road tracks. Of course she didnt speak any English, but I refused to talk to her. Gave my statement to the officer about how it happend and then didnt sat anything else.

I just came through San Antonio and the way people are flying around like they're on a racetrack with not one single F to give just blows me away. 60mph speed limit in a construction zone? Nope. They gotta do 75.

I had 3hrs left on my clock and Im supposed to deliver in Ft Worth at 8:15am. Nope. I did 500mi, 3 drops and a pixk uptoday and Im done. I'll leave at 4:30 and see what time I hit Ft Worth.

 

Dang man sorry to hear that. Hopefully they will get her to pay the damage. That is good u only talk to the officer. And not her. Ever since i watched that video about the scam artists that intentionally cause wrecks for the insurance payout, my guard has been up .. Hope it wasnt one of those ppl . sounds like truck is ok if ur still running?

 

Dash cameras. Worth every dime. Good ones are not cheap. This is the one In my truck Dash cam
It works very well. Has very clear video. Very easy to setup and use.

 

Thats what im missing in this truck i have now . i definatly need to get one sooner than later

 

It did the no air buildup for 3 hours. Alarm stopped. I watched it. Went back to part of same problem today. Pull both knobs. It builds to max 160. Drain it down pumping brakes.
Got it to stop running. Got it into ‘idle management’ mode. Starts and runs when needed only for batteries.
Don’t want to. Might get hotel room?
Can I wake up if she starts? Monitor her?
Supposed to go down to 9 tonight.
That means run mode.
Don’t want no hotel room.

 

I got a question about recap hours. I was always under the impression that when u do a 34 reset it resets your 70 hour clock and erases all the hours u had saved up in recap before u took ur 34 reset. On this jj keller elog im using i did a 34 reset over the weekend but last night i got back recap hours back that i had from last week sometime and it added it to my 70 clock. Is that how it supposed to be used or no? If it is then i been running elogs very wrong
