12 hours into 24 direct to Lubbock. Exhausted, turned the wheel over to (Mrs.) Co-driver. Just into deep sleep, cutting logs, (for OVM to split), and dispatch calls for a position update?? I'm on their F'in screen! Why call?

Usually it's the customer that calls wanting to check and dispatch makes a call giving the appearance they actually do something

About 120 miles I also gear the Refomatory is supposed to be haunted too

I heard it was haunted as well. The prisoners there were living in horrid conditions and quite a few of them died. I want to visit there when I go back to driving. I used to pick up loads in Bucyrus all of the time. I even took a load from Bucyrus to the air port in Mansfield once to be loaded onto a jet. I never knew about the reformatory back then!

Now that the colder weather is with us....I put my clothes and especially my shoes on a shelf on the upper rail if your unit has one....or just attach them up there somewhere....nothing like slipping into warm clothes and shoes first thing in morning....just something I've learned over the years....beats putting your feet into an ice tray....LOL

Not with Load One, so I can't post on their thread, but I want to express my condolences to the L1 family on the loss of their driver Steve Seth. Kudos to him for being able to stop on the side during his emergency, and prayers for his family and L1 at this tough time.

I was reading an article that simple testing has saved some firefighters from heart attacks. I wish they would make drivers go in for echocardiograms to be scanned for possible heart issues. It is only a 200 dollar test and it can find a lot of problems before they become an emergency. Also, diabetes screening is a good thing to have the drivers do. Most of us men do not go to the doctor for any reason. I wish the trucking industry would band together and do more in the way of preventative testing for drivers. My condolences also go out to Steve Seth and his family. He is a real professional and a true hero for keeping his truck in control while under extreme duress. More of these stories of heroism need to be shown to the public; not just the videos of drivers peeing in parking lots.
