    I need a hat, a chain for my wallet & a can of snuff.

    The next dispatch was to Rothschild, MN to a Papermill. Picking up some kind of byproduct created as a result of producing paper. I've been here once before a few years back so I have some idea as to what to do here. I'll be loading this load myself. If I remember right, this product...

    Pays to arriver early..... My next dispatch was to Chicago yesterday to grab a preloaded trailer delivering in Saint Paul, MN. That's about a 6 1/2hr drive from Chicago. My appointment wasn't untill 11:00 today. This customer allowed overnight parking. I got here about 18:30 yesterday and...

    I need a hat, a chain for my wallet & a can of snuff.

    It has changed some. If you now go off duty during that same 14hr period for two hours or longer, your 14hr clock stops and you gain that two hours or longer time back. It then picks back up when you go on duty again. You still only have the 11hrs of drive time but it can be pushed to later...

    I need a hat, a chain for my wallet & a can of snuff.

    Yes, there are so so many rules regarding time. I find it very confusing to explain but I've learned how to use my clocks to my advantage. Four main clocks are..... 70hr work week clock, on duty 14hr day clock, on duty 11hr driving clock 8hr rest break clock Basically you can be on duty up...

    I need a hat, a chain for my wallet & a can of snuff.

    Ended up getting a trailer cleaned and loaded later in the morning. Got to my delivery point by 20:00. They pulled me in at 06:30 to offload. Still waiting on them to get started. Looks like they are going to tote these products. They don't have storage tanks at this location to store...

    I need a hat, a chain for my wallet & a can of snuff.

    My new stint started this morning. Have a preload scheduled for 0800 and another at 1200. After the 1200 I was to go hook back up to that 0800 trailer and deliver it in Chicago tomorrow morning. Only problem is, it's to be two products but they assigned me a single compartment trailer. Not...

    NCAA Basketball 2023-2024

    I like watching all of the games I can. I don't have a dog in the fight with any of these games. I often find myself rooting for the underdog. Great to see these athletes overcome the odds.

    I hate an Android phone

    Keyboards have always been a gripe of mine too. Honestly, I couldn't tell you which one I used with my Samsung phones but I know what I'm currently using on my iPhone is more than infuriating. I used to be someone that pecked at each character when texting, emailing, posting..... whatever...

    I hate an Android phone

    My experiences with Samsung phones have been the opposite but we like what we like. I had Samsung phones for years until that AT&T wench, Lily, talked me into getting an iPhone about a year and a half ago. While I still like Lily, I hate my iPhone. As soon as humanly possible I'll be moving...

    NFL 2024-2025

    In the name of safety..... Funny how the NFL touts safety yet they add games to the schedule, add more games midweek giving less time to recover or prepare. These guys sign up and pursue their lifelong dream of playing in the NFL knowing the possibility for injury. Both short and long-term...

    I need a hat, a chain for my wallet & a can of snuff.

    Looks like they're going to take me early this morning for my last delivery of this stint. Went out 02/28. Completed over 16,000 miles since then. I'll be just under 15,000 miles for the month of March. It'll be a new 'month' record for me. This is the last of the long stints for me until...

    I hate an Android phone

    Besides that, Siri is kinda full of herself. She talks to me like she knows everything.
