My trainer told me "the tug is good, hear the click, man you don't gotta look, it's good." No way, I get my flashlight everytime and crawl under there to look.

My thoughts and prayers with you.

That Dr. Pepper gig sounds like what I'd like.

I'm pretty sure after my year OTR I want to find something local. I've found that I'm not as keen on the OTR lifestyle as I thought I would be. Very much enjoy home, fellowship, and some routine. Preferably with no touch freight but that's not a deal breaker. What types of local driving jobs are there? Ideally I'd like to be home at end of every day. Weekends off. No overnights.

I was so disappointed by the steak I got at the 49er I didn't dare take the chance. I was just there last week. Maybe next time.

Technology is a force in its own right. We are merely the instruments to manifest its evolution.

I set my alarm for 23:30 the other night so I could roll at midnight. Alarm goes off and I half grudgingly get up. Sat with a cup of coffee while waiting for my recap. After about 20 minutes the caffeine starts to take effect and I'm ready, let's go, lets roll, been sitting since 10:00, gonna meet a repower at 05:00 170 miles away. So I'm sitting there watching the clock on my qualcomm and midnight hits and nothing happens. Then it hits me, my DOT hours are central time and I'm in eastern time zone. Damn I coulda slept another hour.

I thought of this and figured cost was probably the reason and also as mentioned our company has thousands of trailers too and they are not treated very nice. I can see an added value as I almost hit a truck on my blindside while backing in at a truckstop. I had too many easy peezy spots lately I guess and forgot how to do it. Thankfully someone stopped me with a honk of the horn. I had just climbed back in from a GOAL and thought I was still good to go. Ended up choosing a different spot and the guy I was pulling in next to was grilling on his cat walk and I asked if he'd help me and he agreed. After I got in the hole I realized with his help where I went wrong on the other hole. I had oversteered to the left swinging too far the other way when I needed to straighten my steers. I can see a camera being beneficial in that scenario but I'd rather not rely on it and get my skills better. Next back after that one though was great. As for a magnetic cam that can be switched from trailer to trailer and take with you no way. I'd forget it at some point. What I have wondered though is why don't trailers have back up lights? And maybe a license plate like light at each curbside corner on the rear pointed down toward the tandems to better illuminate tight turns.

If you hadn't said "screw this load" you probably wouldn't be getting so much flack.

What is a Walmart account like? Is it DC to DC? Or stores? Or both?
