My plan is to stay east coast eventually getting a dedicated route after a few months. I don't plan on coming west in the winter. I despise chaining tires. it is not fun.

Shoot, I got burned the first day on the lot. I just know I am ready to get out and start making money. I have to go to our clinic monday to see how much weight I have gained since getting here. I have been eating around 5 times a day. and we aren't talking junk food either.

RKP 08-02-2019 10:03 PM

Nothing wrong with eating good bud!

Caleb 08-02-2019 11:24 PM

You needed to put some meat on those bones!

Actually received a call about an hour ago. Already have my mentor slated for this week. Should be on the road by this weekend.

That's a good thing

Pirate 08-08-2019 09:31 PM

Should have headed out today, but my mentor got a new truck so he had to swap. Now waiting on a load.

We were swapping trucks in the rain. Hot some yesterday morning in Wyoming but not much. Just enough to clean the windshield. Have dropped my first run here in denver, pick up my next in golden Colorado headed for Ohio.

RKP 08-11-2019 11:02 AM

Golden Colorado to Ohio is a haul, wouldn't be a beer run would it?

Caleb 08-11-2019 12:43 PM

Working hard already bro! BZ
