    Well I was in a different truck today and I’ll tell you what I’ve gotten really used to my reverse H 10 speed. Definitely going to appreciate my truck tomorrow.

    Getting out a little late, loaders running behind. That's OK, it happens. Waiting is easy...

    Yeah, been unusually warm and dry here in the PNW. Been in the 80's the last couple weeks. Really need the rain to knock these fires down.

    Fire season definitely made a showing in my neck of the woods, every 3 years it’s always bad/close then it’s calm for a couple years. Weird how it’s almost clock work with fires in my area.

    Just punched out, done till Sunday evening. Not much going on this weekend, installing security cameras and that's about it. Probably fire up the grill while the weather is still good. Probably some vids and a few drinks as well.

    IT'S FRIYAY!!!! I just want to get it over with.
    Boss tried to put another one on me at the end of the day yesterday, I said no I ain't working 12 hour days. She said ok I'll contract it out to an expediter.
    Great plan I thought! I wonder what part of I don't want to work 12 hour days she doesn't understand.
    Man I wish I could find something else. But it seems like all the companies around here have the same attitude, low pay and long hours.

    Well the paving company Forman has been impressed with me and said if I ever leave my current company they’ve got some empty trucks I can put my name on. While we were talking I was backed up and dumping into the hopper and completely overfilling it. Dur de dur

    Oh forgot to mention I got called in yesterday by a motorcyclist cause the dirt I was hauling was just dust and it was blowing out. Might help if he didn’t ride next to me for 2 miles before finally getting ahead of me.
