3AM WAKE UP CALL EVERYONE!!! ... load offer for sc to sc.. bastards. Did you not realize the conditions you would face going out that way? Or that you needed access to chains on your truck? Only ask because our trip to CA a few pages back covered that part, we didn't have chains either. Can't...

Always curious. We waited around for about an hour while they worked it out. Load got canceled, had to forfeit the other load we had for Monday. Thankfully there was a rest stop near by with parking. Gonna sit here for the night. I'll give it till mid morning tomorrow. If we don't get a load...

What started as a good day is going south quick. We grabbed a load that picked up in North Carolina and went to Michigan. Then accepted a load for Monday going from Michigan to Alabama. We get to North Carolina after 2xx miles of deadhead and find out they shipped the load already. Now we're at...

Also, don't take YouTube for granted. You can emerge yourself in the lifestyle just by watching someone else and find out if it's right for you or not. I've done that twice, when we decided to sell our house to rv full time, and starting this career. Watch the good videos, and watch the bad...

Anyone can steal my thread. Lol no hard feelings. Information is information and it's all relevant to new people. I'm on my phone so my reply might be missing some things. I'll go back if needed. Ok first, school, as you read, we did not go through school. Is your significant other a good...

Oh yes. Forgot all about It. In route to Florida ATM. We stopped at a flying j in Kansas City MO after spending the night in a casino parking lot. Casino was good, flying j was garbage. Took the pup out and he was having difficulty managing to not step in all the other dog :censoredsign: around. Garbage...

I'd be interested in hearing more about your winter adventure. The more knowledge I can absorb from other people the batter. The wife and I won't be going back home until christmas. Really isn't a point I guess. Her mom and her dont seem to be vibing well, I'm cool with avoiding the social...

Didn't forget about this thread. Just been busy. Just got backed into at a truck stop in MO. got some more knowledge to share on how to handle that. Lol. I'll try to update tomorrow after my shift is over

It wasn't the greatest experience, I wouldn't mind going back if they had more truck stops around. There just isn't anywhere to park.

My numbers were off. We made 1700, 3100 miles.

Got our dog on thurs, grabbed a load to Kentucky and delivered on Friday. Ended up sitting the whole weekend waiting for a load to go near home. Got a load out of Kentucky on Monday to Ohio. Then got a load from Ohio to Wisconsin (waiting to pick up now) and then we'll be heading home. We also...

Heat is fixed and we are now en route to pick up our dog

Ok here we go. Not sure where I last left off but whatever. We got to FedEx yesterday right after closing hours. Expeditors said we could leave the keys to the truck with security and they would handle the rest. Ok cool. While doing the post trip we find that the recovered truck is leaking...

Lmao. I will be sure to be more aware of the shower situation. The married couple we spoke with last night said the same thing. Back in Indiana and will be stopping for the night shortly here. Will update after we get settled.

I'll update tomorrow when there is more time. Pretty eventful day but in a good way. Delivered truck developed a coolant leak. Get that taken care of tomorrow. Spent the night hanging out with some awesome people.

Stopped for the night. 450 miles to go. For anyone wondering, 2 straight trucks will fit in one spot assuming you can get the tail up over the curb. Watch your stabilizer jacks and apparently an air tank on the back underneath the truck if you have a tag axle. front truck sticks out some feet...

Appreciate the kind words. Today was a cluster f***. Had about 200 miles to go this morning to get to the truck. We got an early start and we're making good time. We got an address and was told the truck is at an A&w. Ok cool. ...Negatory. Gps brought us to a farm field. We pull off to the...

That's where I hold my ground. I will rush for no one. I will not under any circumstance be pushed into anything un safe. I worked at a meat packing plant for 8 years. I've seen what can happen when people are rushed/careless. People losing fingers left and right. I was a supervisor for years...

Apparently. Not sure what the hell happened to me but I'm always a nervous wreck. That crap better fade. Don't have time for that.

That's a very intense start, and one I may have not made it through. I don't do bugs.. lol. We stopped somewhere in Montana for lunch/dinner. Don't even know what this place is called. Kind of a white knuckle ride through the mountains. They got some snow and while the roads were mostly dry...
