    Well I’ll be cruising at 60 mph for the rest of this trip, Western has their trucks (or at least mine) set at 55 - 60 mph in California but I can override the computer by pressing down on the pedal, only get 62 though

    Its a Monday for sure. Over 2hrs waiting to unload. The weather is crap, spitting just enough rain that I can't pull my tarps.

    How does your truck know it's in CA.? o_O

    Does the speed seriously adjust by state.?
    That would be annoying..

    Lol think I passed up the Monday madness because I was in Laredo so long I did a 34, so now I’m just cruising along down I-10

    There was a sexy old K100 at the truckstop last night. Went by it way too quick to get a pic. Had that old school stripe pattern on it too.

    So I spent a leisurely afternoon with @Tug Toy yesterday.!
    He's there, but we had him sink into the shadows so the US Marshall's can't track him down.. :rolleyes:

    Hell of guy, even donated that fine lunch you see there!! The 2nd hand I've met now from #5, with so much knowledge to lend about trucks, the industry, life, & what makes the world turn.. Had a great time BS'ing with ya, hope we'll get the chance to do it again.. :thumbup:

    Dear God that's awful.!, & I find it a little creepy too..

    I guess with all the tracking stuff out there, (shoot y'all was just talking bout it a few post back), it's entirely possible..

    Well, you gotta be closing in on your 1yr there at WE by now ehh.? Almost time to move on to greener pasture.. :thumbup:
