Senators bought and paid for, I hope someone goes fanatical on them in their primaries next time around, they should start collecting money in a superpac to get rid of each of them, starting now. Moderate my ass, they are both owned and cashing in, they are every bit as bad as republicans, useless as democrats and as human beings.

Happy I made out just past Gretna, NE. I'm about 715 miles from the yard and shutting down for the night

Around 515 more miles and I'll be in Laramie, WY tomorrow

Found some sweet little mom n pop truckstop off I-80 to stay at tonight, rolled in around 7pm and 4-5 spots open lol, HELL YES! Unbelievable to find this little gem of a place, there only room for about 12 trucks so it's going to be nice and quiet for once instead of a busy ass Love's or T/A with 70 + trucks

Went inside and got a delicious BLT sub and ice cold Coke

I just gave some of the sub to a stray cat wandering around by my truck


Here's a cool looking older Peterbilt a couple spots over

My dad was a diesel mechanic. He loved working on Peterbuilts and anything that was from Cummins.

Hated International Harvesters.

Well I'm in Laramie, only the driver I'm meeting up with wanted to switch trailers at the Love's and it's on the south side of I-80.....but I can still get out of my truck and see the mountains behind me !!!

I fckn love it, I feel like a little kid on vacation lol. It's no big deal to some of you guys who live out west and see mountains all the time, but I don't get to, this is my second time out here I AM PUMPED

it is cold out here, roads are clear but there is slick spots. I did see a big truck in the ditch on the way here between Sydney NE and Cheyenne

I am so happy today, being out here, truck is running good, heater in the truck is kicking ass and Trump isn't our president

Nothing can bring me down right now

No not my tractor, I'm just a pissant company driver lol. Seriously though, my boss treats us really good, I couldn't be happier

Someday I'll have my own rig


I'm shutting down tonight at a crap hole Pilot in Cheyenne, WY. It's not busy right now but I'm sure when I wake up I'll have to tell some dickhead driver to move his truck because he blocked me in

I'm bringing back a reefer with 41,000 lbs of Jimmy Dean frozen sausage. Here's the bill of lading
20211101_171129.jpg

Here's my CAT scale ticket - gross weight almost 78,000 lbs
20211101_165728.jpg
Quick explanation of the weight - I can weigh 80,000lb GVW, that is 12,000 on my steer axle
34,000 on my drive axle
34,000 on trailer axle

You can see I'm balanced out pretty good, this isn't my first rodeo


Here's some crazy fog I just ran through for almost 20 miles between Laramie and Cheyenne
