    The bull wagons are here now. Now if you're behind a couple bull wagons, couple flatbeds, well, it's just over for you.

    So as long as you don't go over 4 MPH you don't go on the "drive line." So I creeped to another spot after unhooking from the trailer. I'm actually glad to be free of it. It was one of our older one's and not as nice as our newer ones. The ones we bought in the last 2 years actually have the auto inflate system. So no need to actually check the tire pressure on them. Plus, if someone hasn't already taken it, they have a tandem bar. To stop the tandems where you want them when you slide them. I plan on snagging one the next time I see one. lol

    As for dispatch. I bypass my DM, though she actually is good. I go right to the planners. It actually worked out to where I have a good connection with the South TX planner now. Since I did him a few favors last weekend. He asks me, "Where you wanna go?" It's how I got to go out west instead of towards all the bad weather NE. Now I just need to call the West Coast planner later today. To line up something for the AM. Hoping I can avoid a multi-pickup load. But sadly, most CA loads are produce loads. If it ends up being a Whole Foods load. Those really suck. Because you can't ply with the pickups. It has to load/unload in THEIR order. That cost my trainer and I a whole day last time I was in CA. Because appointment 2 was AFTER appointment 3 closed. SMH

    There is also a truck wash here. I am gonna get a PO to get mine washed. Dave has inspired me. Plus it is filthy from the road treatment in TX last week.

    I’d say he’s way ahead of the game. It’s all about attitude. He’s definitely got that covered. Now if We can keep him on the right Track. Away from those negative Drivers. Lol. Advice from my Father. It’s True, have to avoid the negative thinking, it will creep up on you, if you hear enough of it. Maybe not make You think negative, but can be discouraging, just to hear. Getting a negative outlook on the whole Industry. Been there. It’s all about what you make of it, Like anything else in Life.

    I fought Casper was a powder blue. Looks more like metallic light blue now. Cummins? 10 spd? 354 rears?
