Profile For Bird-One

I agree. I did 80k my first year in trucking. Which was local. So it’s possible to get within that range. Doesn’t mean it’s easily attainable though. You gonna work your rear end off for it.

That is the about the range for our P&D drivers, so I do not think it is as unrealistic as others here impy.

I’ve seen the tractors for a few years now but this is the first I’ve seen the trailer. Koch foods in Melrose Park. Anybody else see em? I’m betting it’s at least 400k in this picture.

Their spotter jeeps are also electric. I’ve heard though the charge on the tractors don’t last long at all. Thoughts? Do you think this is the future or just going to be used by companies virtue signaling?

Have him take a look at Stron logistics out of Hampshire. Dayton Freight also has a big terminal in Hampshire. Usually a few trucking companies out of Rockford are always hiring. McMahon dairy out of Huntley could be an option also.

No idea what their requirements are or how busy they are but they are local.

What is your run now? Don’t think you’ve mentioned that yet.

Congrats Kearsey!!

Something I’ve done a few times over the past almost seven years myself is unhook from a trailer while forgetting to unhook the air lines. It had a been a long time since I’ve done it. Than about a month and a half ago I did it. And then a week later I did it again. Unfortunately the second time I stretched out the coils in the harness, and had to make the drive of shame into the shop to get em swapped out.

We have new trailers that you have to crank from the right side instead of the left. That threw me off. Not to many sounds I hate more than hearing the thud of the Gladhands smacking against the back of the cab.

Happy thanksgiving to you PJ! I ran out of hours going into Wednesday. So had Wednesday and today off which was nice for a change.

I’m certainly intrigued by the diet but would have no idea where to start. Seems like it would be expensive to do on a regular basis. Am I wrong?

What would be say an affordable example of doing this diet on a daily basis. My diet is really no set diet. I try and keep soda, sugar, dairy to a minimum and have been trying to drink more water.

I’ll grab a 12 dollar bag of jerky from time to time that only ends up being barely half full anyways lol.

That’s some timing because I was meaning to ask you if you were staying busy or not. We’re slammed right now but we’re short guys and it’s the holidays.

Makes for a busy time when hauling groceries but it usually slows way down after the holidays.

A little late in the day for it. But thanks to all the veterans out there. Hopefully you were able to get something out of it today.
