    Here’s another stupid question.
    “Why are you leaving this loud truck on?
    I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight!!”

    me
    “You’ll get used to it, it’s either loud truck, or instant sweat, it’s 95 still outside, means it’ll be 115 or so in here in about an hour.
    At least I parked by a reefer who didn’t have it turned on.”

    I sense that beyond the annoyance of his whining you're taking a certain amount of perverse satisfaction from his state of discomfort.

    Holy crap... I think I ran harder today doing local than I do OTR. I did manage to get parked out front of my house tonight... With 30 seconds left on my 14, so thats a plus.

    Of the last 30 hours I was on the clock for 20, during that time I covered 882 miles... Started in Idahofalls, met an OTR driver in Pocatello to get his load, delivered it in Boise, picked a load in Fruitland, dropped that load in Idahofalls, bobtailed to Blackfoot to get an MT, dead-headed to Burley for a drop & hook, and then made it home... Tomorrow I will deliver the load from Burley.

    I'm bushed!!!

    I drove to Dunnigan pilot to get fuel because it was that or the 49er which I'd rather run out before I give that #### hole any money. Pull in to an almost empty place to find out I drove 40 mi for no reason because they are out of fuel like WTF. So ended up at the Harbor stop in west Sac. So if reading this Dunnigan is out

    What brand? Not sure if we have the same brands as you guys do ya know because we can't have anything good. Wouldn't want to hurt the environment. The clear coats i"ve used don't seem to last for ####

    The last 18 inches to 2 feet is nothing but fairings for fuel conservation...

    That is not so good. Load out of that area tomorrow.

    Friends should never let any one near the 49er.
