    Got a text and was told to come in late due to no freight to move. That means I loose whatever overtime I had at the beginning of the week. I'm not happy. Grrr:mad:

    New week begins, uhg, Monday. But it's only 4 days for me this week, I took a vacation day so I could have a 3 day weekend. I have to use my vacation time up before the end of April or I loose it. I'll be getting a couple of long 4 day weekends, 1 in March and one at the beginning of april. That gives me something to look forward to.

    This combo is really my favorite. Freightliner with the 6 horse trailer. Gets me a chance to practice more with the gears without pushing the weight and size numbers. Which translates to a bit more margin of safety on turns and stops. The last haul was with the Ram 5500 and that is just a lot easier to drive overall. Partly because it’s auto and partly because of the hydraulic brakes. But it doesn’t really feel much like trucking.

    To many, but never done
    When some security guard gets out of his office to come let you know your "in the right"
    But then proceeds to tell you to backup because apparently the other truckdriver didn't know how to drive in front of me and go around my left side....
    What do you do????

    Well what I did was something like this...

    "What are you out of your dam mind?
    If you know I'm 'in the right' then why the hell would you tell me to move?
    What planet am I on right now?
    This is Earth right?
    We are in America right?
    We do drive on the right hand sides of roads right?
    I'm not moving anywhere but forward!"

    Set brakes, pulled key out, rolled up window, locked my door.
    Nap time....
    20 minutes later truck goes in front and around my left side.
    Mind you about a fifth of his trailer has been in the street the entire time.

    Nearly done. No clutch brake this trip. Have to remember and only use the clutch when it’s in gear or pop into gear while rolling. Did lots of parking downhill.
