valarltdI'm in Nashville tonight, at a TA in visual range of the Days Inn for Hypericon,
Tomorrow i pick up in Cincinnati and tomorrow night I'll be back in Nashville.
Home Sunday noonish, then back on the road around 2 Monday.
Then a Wed pick up and Thursday delivery and home Friday for Pride.
That means I will have been dispatched about 5000 miles in 2 weeks, which is decent money. (~1800 after you figure the stop pay and weekend bonus,)
It was a long bad drive.
Notes from the road:
Dear Fed-ex:
Please to be explaining how you not only lost ONLY the rear trailer of your double, but how it was ripped in half and the back still sealed and standing upright on the tires?
Very curious.
Dear idiot:
The sign said "Left lane closed." Yes, I know traffic is slow in the right lane. Do you know WHY traffic is slow in the right lane? Because idiots like you go zooming up to jump the line and slow us down when you try getting back in!
Cranky
Dear asshole:
I was signalling. That is NOT your cue to try to pass me.
Stupid Fourwheeler:
I am making a left hand turn. I am swinging very wide because I do not want to drag my tandems over the hood of the nice guy who backed up to let me turn. YOU have no earthly business squeezing into the gap there. But if you do it again, you'll have some celestial business with St. Peter.
To the nice guy who let me turn.
I love you. Let me buy you coffee for life.
Dear "my penis is too small so I have a red testoserossa."
25 MPH is fucking well NOT a merge. Not when I'm coming up at 70. Oh and the speed limit is 70. Nobody wants to do 70. they all want to do 80. So doing 60? You're roadkill.
To the guy who created the 53' trailer, when everyone has docks for 45 footers:
May you spend eternity in hell doing blindside 90 degree alley docks.
