    I broke out the basketball shorts and no shoes while driving last night.. Just trying not to stick out like a sore thumb. My hi vis shirt covered in dirt and grease from the binders along with my dickies work pants covered in dirt from chaining the rocks... It did not make sense when pulling a reefer. If another driver saw me they may think i stole the trailer. And call me in.

    U arent kidding. The trailer was full of food . Ill be ###### if i didnt pull in to that fire camp this morning after running 9 hours straight to get it there, and all the young kids that were helping in the "kitchen" area , started waving and clapping at me as i came in, with big smiles on their face ...i cant tell you how many people said "thank you so much for bringing this trailer, we have been needing more supplies"

    Being a reefer driver aint so bad. It is cool to help out the firefighters and their families. Those guys do a job i could never even imagine and make a sacrafice only a few have the guts to do

    Looks fine going the other way.
    Are you sure you're heading in the right direction?

    . Go ahead and get another reefer and load some apples then take it to HEB San Antonio then let us know what you think of the reefer business.

    Three. Three accidents in the first 8 miles. The other one from the first two was on the other side behind me.

    TA Tonapah is such a fuster cluck.......there's a sheriff towards the end not allowing the trucks to block the road all the way back over the overpass like they usually do.

    Plus Armando the fly.

    Oh.
    And this Freightliner Cascadia is 1820 pounds heavier than a Kenworth t660 studio sleeper.
    Stupid Def stuff weighs that much.
    Was 12220, 33560, and 33220 for 79000 gross.

    This heavy Freightliner put me on backroad running and made me an outlaw driver, when it was legal loaded..
    Still give cards here at least..
