    I have a theory on Volvos. Because of their pro Safety advertising, they attract the worst Drivers.

    I have a friend who’s deaf. No problem driving.

    I’ve been home for 5 days. Haven’t done a #### thing. The more I sit and lay around the worse I feel. Today at 1:30 I see my Cardiologist. I just woke up at midnight and made coffee. Going back to bed. My clock is definately out of whack. Time to get busy and back to work. Can’t find a vaccination appointment. Not warm enough to get much done outside. Might as well be Trucking.

    It’s 2:05am, and 52°F here in San Diego. I’m in a small pay lot ($10) and the truck next to me just started it’s 2nd regen tonight.

    He’s the only one idling. Nothing else is making a sound.

    Getting ready to load for Marietta, GA so I figured I'd save a few bucks and wash the truck at home yesterday. Gotta say, I'd save more money by dropping my speed a half MPH than I did washing it myself, plus, I wouldn't have a sore right shoulder this morning. Some things just don't pay.

    Get a adjustable aluminum extension pole and a good soft brush to go on the end of it. Buy a carwash soap dispenser to go on the end of the hose.

    I used to every other day wash both my 45 foot tank and 60 inch bunk Western Star in 30 -40 I minutes with that setup

    Well.
    After getting stuck for 4 days, now I’m offered a load with 79/ton out...55/ton back and 150 miles further on the return.
    I ask “What’s up with that?”
    The reply, in a smoother way, we’ll it’s rice going out, and meat and bone coming back.
    My reply, that’s crazy, a M&B loads have to be washed out, that’s 40-65$
    I’m going to take a pay cut to get drenched in M&B?
    Find some other chump, this one isn’t going.

    “..But it’s like 3350 round trip!”
    “Call me back if it reaches 4450.”
