    Well the vacation was nice, but it's back to work on this Monday morning. Got called to start early to go get a hot order. All the orders are hot in these times it seems. Well I'll get some more coffee in me and then ride my bike to work and see what truck I'm driving today, the rental or mine if it's back from service. Truck and trailer both went in for annual inspections and the truck was getting a new oil pan.

    I got randomed for a drug test again. I swear the only reason they keep picking me is because I'll pass, lol. Seems like I just did this. What a waste of fucking money and time! Seems to me like once a year would be enough even if it was just random.

    This pic makes me miss my Granite, no not the one that just "bit me" (old style) but my New one...o_O

    First one in the fleet with def but also 1st Allison :burnrubber::burnrubber:, Boys in their Pete's would get all butt hurt when "The old Man" would "Walk away" from their Big Kitty Cats :eek::D:p I will have to dig through Pix and post one....

    I'm missing the driving BUT not the hours....:hattip: I will transition back into it come September , just not sure in what capacity :cool::cool:

    Now that Peterbilt has announced the end of the 3 series cab in 2024, I might find a "retirement rig".... 389 Glider might get the same mpg's the Tundra does :rofl::rofl::fistbump:

    I've driven a few trucks with autos, the Allison is definitely the best one out there. The automated manuals have gotten better but they still have a learning curve to them as far as driving and docking. I'll stick with my old pos freightliner with a cat and10 speed for now. Michigan is flat so we don't really need anything more here.
