  1. Just a heads up. I’ve switched companies and am back to running mostly in Texas. I’ll be hauling precast concrete for the most part with some oil fuel thrown in for good measure. Last week I pulled 4 loads up to the new Samsung plant being built in Taylor that had me grossed over 100k lbs. so if you see ole Sparkle Cake in your mirror on 35 please kindly get the fuck out of the way. Lol We are also building the new basketball arena for Baylor but our part of that project will probably be done this week.
  2. My camera sits up high in the windshield. I never saw them until they were sideways in front of me.
  3. So this happened last night. I have no idea what caused them to spin. Best I can figure is that it was cell phone related. keep you head on a swivel out there.
  4. That’s the antenna for my internet. I called to have the service turned off and the motherfucker wanted to charge me for the dish. (We been customers for more than 10 years) I told him to come get the damn thing.
  5. First of all me and Ole Sparkle Cake are still out here kicking ass. I kind of quit social media for a little while and got out of the habit of checking in here. I took time off from Thanksgiving through New Years and just as I was ready to get back to work I got the ‘rona. That put me down for two more weeks. Finally got my shit together and hit the road on Jan 14th. I was laid up at the TA in Big Springs on Jan 22 and my phone rang at 2:30am. Any one that makes a living on the road or travels a lot knows that’s never good news on the other end. So I answered it and my wife says “Oliver (our dog) and I are fine but the house is on fire” So as you can imagine I went home to deal with that. So between dealing with insurance, saving what we could and getting my wife into a place to live I was off work again until the end of Feb. We live on 2.5 acres so we were able to get a good size 5th wheel set up next to the house to live in during the rebuild process. Once I got her settled in I hit the road hard. I’ve only been home twice since March.
  6. Hey y’all I’m alive. A lot of life shit going on. I’ll post an update tonight.
  7. I know it’s coming and you know it’s fucking coming.
  8. that’s under 78 on the bama game. Got in late it was at 80. Anyone else put anything on piggies +700?
  9. I’m new to sports betting. Just got a my bookie account last year. Using betonline and mybookie this season. My bets this week Sparty +185 VA +8 Marshall -10 kansas +17.5
  10. You cant get two drivers to agree on what time it is. Without proper organization this will be like all of the other “trucker strikes” some want to strike over fuel prices but this one is driven by “maga” truckers wanting to blame Biden for everything wrong in our industry. (no cloak room)
  11. There is nothing more punk rock than power chords on a ukulele
  12. Motherfuckers got me out here doing door swinger shit.
  13. Car missed its exit and did a u-turn on the interstate. Hard to see with the camera but they were in my lane going the wrong way before they took the median.
  14. Right now the def tank sensors are on back order. A driver I know is being told 7-8 weeks for the part to get in. What the fuck do you do in a situation like that? I try to be smart with my money and can afford quite a bit of down time but 8 weeks with no money coming in would be really hard.. I would say 90% of guys out here would go under. talking a friend we figure the only way to keep running would be doing the weight loss program. ( trucker speak for deletion of the DEF system)
  15. I’m averaging $2.41 a mile for the year so far.
  16. New shoes for the donkey. 8 tires @ $413 each 4 aluminum wheels @ $215 each

    This is going to be bigger than the announcement itself.
  18. Why do they always cover wrecked cars with a tarp? Is it to hide exposed parts from other teams?
