    It is brain death usually

    That being said, can’t get on most Truckstop scales and when I do they weigh poorly as most have a ramp up and down so I am not level.

    I’ve not found very many I can’t get on but you’re right about the ramps if they’re not level.

    Well you are doing better’ than me, as I would say less than half have enough room to either get on or get off. TAs’ and Js’ are usually better except for some of the large independents

    Wheeling T/A for supper.

    I can't describe it but I'm nervous as a long tail cat driving this truck now. I ain't sure why it's still the same ol truck. I hope it gets better

    I’m a lazy mega fleet driver that likes to do it all in one shot even if it makes it more complicated for the poor elderly lady at the register... what can I say.

    I know what you mean though and sometimes that is just the easier way — especially if they have no clue what a split weigh is in the first place. Normally someone else at the register over gears it and walks them through it though.

    I gotta say... it’s just been one of those #### days driving. I hate the 40 corridor east of Asheville. Just always have. But it started early with four-wheelers diving from the far left like dodo birds on a suicidal mission for the right lane exit all the way back in Nashville. Just been one of those days where I’m happy as a mother####er to do a post trip and shut her down till Monday morning.

    We made the Petro here in Mebane, NC. Gonna get all cleaned up and find myself some dinner. Will manage a 34 like I almost always do :)

    Yeah, the ol border town(s) of Nogales, AZ and Nogales, MX are an adventure in the fine art of communication.

    Got home around 1pm this afternoon. Calculated about 6.25 mpg from Ayr, ON to the yard. Granted, I only had 11k on the trailer, but for the 17, that blew my mind.

    Watching the Jets, sipping Jim Beam Devil's Cut on the rocks.
