Profile For FR8 M4N

Of the 5 weigh stations I passed by last week (4 were open), got bypassed for all.

Off to a great start, ZJ! I think it's better to have a slightly used truck versus new any day. See ya out there!

Weeks are flying by, again. 13th week solo driving in the books; not that I'm keeping track; haha, no, I am keeping track!

Well, the dedicated lane deal fell by the wayside. Only little bit I heard was that there was staffing problems on the other end. Guess God wants me OTR after all, haha. ;o)

Friend of mine sent me a pic with my name on it...

Funny thing is, I don't know what the criteria are for this achievement. Friend of mine insists that I'm kissing someone's butt. LOL Anyway, it appears I'm doing something right and I'm glad to be doing a good job for the Keller brand.

I've had some great back-ins and I failed miserably at one just the other day. The dock was wide open, nothing in the way and I managed to get all janky upon backing into the dock. I goaled and noticed I wasn't parallel to the space. In thinking about what happened, I determined that I didn't go enough forward to straighten out the trailer to get parallel in the first place. I had misjudged the space in front of me, and it wasn't enough. So I should have turned like you would for a 45° set up and it would have been fine. Lesson learned. I went into that space with too much confidence.

Other than a detour exit that got me off a bit and a missed exit altogether, totally my goof, as I misread the GPS, traveling has been good. I've got some neat dashcam videos and I think I'll post some to Rumble in the near future to share with you all. PackRat has seen a couple already involving some scary fast people; one on a motorcycle and another in a small SUV.

Keep the shiny side up!

Until later...

Rooting for ya! Keep up the good work!

Way to go, ZJ!

Automotive parts. Don't know what specifically, as of yet, but they're headed to Dexter Axle.

What type of deliveries?

Now the last couple of weeks have gone by quickly!

Just got a call the other day informing me of a new dedicated lane opening right in the area I live. Three deliveries a day, 5 days a week, and home nightly. It's an answered prayer, I tell ya! We had just asked St. Philomena for a job that will get me home nightly and basically the next day I get a call from dispatch.

Practically no downside for trying it out. If I don't like it I can just keep on doing what I'm already doing. So I opted to give it a try. My friend, who also works in this company, also opted to try it out, as well.

For now, we'll use our sleeper trucks. The dispatch said that they don't have a day-cab for us as of yet. If we still like the dedicated lane after a month, or so, we can be transitioned into one.

Until later...

Wahoo! That's awesome!

Worked 20+ years at a nutritional plant for a major brand, that's in hot water as of now, and retired out when the plandemic hit bc they were coercing me to take the fake PCR test every week or lose my job.

Started work at a garbage disposal company as a satellite driver, where I drove a 3/4 pickup and drove 10-12 hours a day picking up trash. That lead to getting a class B CDL and driving a garbage truck. Did that for 6 months and transitioned into getting a class A CDL and driving the big truck.

I read here that many people looked forward to driving a big rig from a young age, but that wasn't at all the case for me; really didn't think about it. But the good Lord showed me the way and so thankful for the job.

For the afternoon classroom presentation, we will discuss areas to avoid while driving a commercial vehicle...

At first glance, I thought it was an advertisement placement.
