    Having your fuel jell during a blizzard is not fun .

    I was lucky it was in a Truck Stop Even in the restaurant it was cold!!

    Dragged the Tractor inside new fuel filter a case of dry gas in each tank good to go.

    I read your posts ,when you find a new job don't bother with notices to the company you work for. Maybe a good time to start calling in sick on Saturdays. Maybe the odd Monday also lol. Merry Christmas to all and stay safe.

    I'm really hoping something turns up after the first of the year. Right now in my area they just don't pay what a driver should be getting.

    Well that's something. I got a 10lb turkey that's the size of a large chicken and a sippy cup with the company name on it. Cheap as they come.

    In my case it has been a few years

    I know people ran into Long Island 4 days a week after years of over the road .

    As a number a Million miles of safe driving gets one moving violation in his Car.

    HR say sorry we can not hire you . Yet welcomes the Driving school graduate with no real world experience.

    Some of the requirements companies require is down right stupid and it either screws good drivers or new drivers.

    I probably have asked this before, but here it goes anyway. What dash cams you guys using? Idiots are only increasing, so better cover my own ass. Prices seem pretty reasonable, really just looking for simple easy to use.

    Got this on my personal truck, came with your standard 12v plug. It just records onto a SIM card so it’s always recording and it just writes over itself after it’s full like an old vcr or whatever you old fokes use. :boink:
