Profile For Spaceman Spiff

He looks way too happy to have just been knocked into. Some heat exhaustion factoring in there?

You won't need steel toe boots unless you're going into the flatbed division.

Dang that reminds me I need to slide in to a boot shop someday soon and get some of those.

Would add flip flops for shower.

☝️ Important statement there, 40 days.

There's nothing that could convince me to go barefoot in any portion of a truck stop, let alone a bacteria Dreamland like the bathroom. So many people going through every day bringing and leaving God knows what. Get those flip flops. I would recommend some decent slide in ones , not the 99 cent wal mart special I tried to make work.

Wow I heard you were leaving through my dad when he called me today.

Hate to see it confirmed. Like some of the others said, it'll be great to see you on here, even for the occasional visits.

Thanks again for your time and attention in person too. You really gave 100% dedication, hope that issue in your life receives all of it so you can be happy.

Packrat that's an amazing point that you GOAL more now than you used to. Maybe it feels like you're on a good streak of no issues backing and don't want to break it?

I started my first month winding myself around to blind side backing most truck stops and shippers somehow. Can't say I've increased my GOAL count but I at least do the same as I have since going solo. Peace of mind is just so much better than trying to save a few seconds.

This is a refreshing change to the norm, a positive thinker seeing opportunity instead of the more common "woe is me I'm out of companies to apply to except X Y,Z ."

Good on ya Ryan. If you keep seeing the silver lining, not only will other folks (important folks like dispatchers) enjoy working with your positive attitude, but the lifestyle itself will be more an adventure than a lot of people fail to see.

I've learned a ton from you and it was great to finally get to meet you!

Awesome! Notice, for once, Old School is to the left!

But he was on my right

Same with my shots with him! I think the hat may have changed though ?

Dang, even the same color as your truck too

Yeah, it's a rough job but once I smooth it out a bit it'll look ok.

Selling out a tad would have been nice. Maybe helmet stickers specifically would have been too much but these things aren't easy to find

..cause Bill Waterson wont allow it.

If you see the Spiff, come say hey

Good choice. You could always put a fake one on the truck too

Ayyy you shaved the goatee. More streamlined for fuel savings ?

Speeds ALMOST got up to the speed limit on the interstate. Hilarious.

I wonder what his trip planning skills are like.

Wow we are getting a pay bump? Didn't see that yet in the app but thanks for the heads up Rainy.

What's the deal with the Starbucks announcement?

I seen a pic of one posted online not too long ago. It was an OO truck and the company name on the door was Child Support Express.

I think I've seen that one too!

Seen on a flatbed Pete "Straps and chains excite me"

Yes that makes sense packrat .

I'm in Oregon this weekend if anyone is in the area

I think Old School is in the lead so far

Yea that car looked like it didn't draw in the crowds anymore but I am fascinated to be near pieces of history.

On the plus side, whiskey Pete's is back to providing free drinks to patrons playing video poker and all at the bar, just found

I think the cowboy outfit is a great top tier trophy item.

Old school, when does your outfit arrive?

Totally awesome idea there Turtle. I've been fortunate in my miniscule amount of time here to partake in some of these great travel rates as well.

In the last four weeks I've enjoyed Colorado Springs for craft brew, Las Vegas with the wife for a reset where we saw shows and got to within two feet of a giant piece of the Titanic (no pictures allowed just believe me), and stayed cheap at the Tropicana while the truck slept in Primm at whiskey Pete's.

Next month I'm planning to park the truck in our Pittston terminal, fly the wife into the adjacent airport and go explore Boston and the north east together. Really maximizing the time we have together doing this so far and partaking in vacations for half the air fare rate essentially.

Very much agreed, go out and explore
