I was taught to count from the first hole period....

Oh...CB radio (especially with winter approaching), command hooks, small bolt cutters for the wire seals, zip ties, 2 10" black elastic straps like flat bedders use - good for holding open reefer doors if needed, spray lubricant for your 5th wheel...the stuff that the Prime store has is great

Bungee cords, small note pads, pens, porta potty (love the Luggable Loo), several gallons of drinking water

Prime is a fantastic company, and it won't take that long to get into your own truck. Lots of bonuses for teams too.

Instead of sacking out for the night, I have found myself "reorganizing" my truck. I bought some drawer storage things while I was home last weekend in the hopes that I could clear out some cabinet space and by default, free up the top bunk for a student in a couple of months. I'm beginning to think it's a futile effort. LOL I have even utilized the space under the bunk, and honestly, I don't think I have a bunch of unnecessary stuff just hoarded on the truck!

How do you guys that train do it?

I hate to admit my stupidity, but I didn't know what it was so I pushed it in WY.

I was extremely bored and Old School wouldn't answer his phone. So out of boredom and curiousity I pushed it.

Apparently dispatch called me seconds later and I didn't see so it went unanswered. So my QC went crazy with messages so I finally checked my phone and I had close to a dozen missed calls from dispatch, safety, and some security agency from San Diego.

I immediately called and confessed my sin to him and all was good. Except he had to spend the next 15 minutes letting EVERYONE know that I'm alive.

Oops!

Sounds like something I would do....

I have absolutely NO IDEA what you guys are talking about. Is it just a Prime thing?

It's a red push button on the dash. I have a Freightliner and it sits right next to my RightWeigh gauge. Wish I could post a pic, but I'm not that savvy. LOL

Ha! Absolutely not! I have wracked up more than my share of stupid moments over the past year. No need to add that one to my list.

I have seen truckers joking in several Facebook groups about the red button on the dash... Lately I have been staring at it and wondering. Neither of my trainers ever mentioned it. Can someone here fill me in?

Hmmmm....that's WAY too much time. I'd work with dispatch to see if the drop appt could be changed or if it could be dropped early.
