Heading out this weekend.....





























.......IN A NEW TRUCK lol

My old truck finally shit the bed today, boss is going to fix it and sell her. 880,xxx miles, time to let her go before she really starts to get more costly repairs. Going to miss that truck I put some miles on her

Moving into a new 2021 Freightliner Cascadia tomorrow, well it's got 123,000 on her but that's not even broken in. Only thing I'm not real happy is that it's an automatic transmission, but I'll deal with it. It's a studio cab there's a table under the bunk with two seats, now I can have milk and cookies and sit at a table, maybe even invite someone in to play a game of poker at the table.

I'll be running out to Casper, WY and leaving on Christmas morning , then heading up somewhere in Montana to relay to one of our OTR drivers. I'm doing the delivery in Casper so he can get home in time to be with his wife for New Years

I was playing around in my new truck today figuring out how to work the APU....yes, my new truck has an APU lol my old truck did not That will be so nice that I don't have to idle all night anymore

I can't wait to show you guys pics of the inside of my truck, I didn't take any yet until I get settled in and super tidy and cleaned up in there, it's got some sweet bright LED lighting in there

I'll check back in soon as I have time again, probably when I'm out running this weekend

No I haven't yet, I'm waiting and thinking about it still

It's kind of a lot of extra work having a dog in a truck, keeping the truck, bed sheets, floor and seats clean from a dog in and out non stop. Then having to plan to stop all the time to let the dog out. Cleaning the windows nonstop from nose prints everywhere, it is a lot of extra shit to do when I already have enough on my plate

And then if I do get a dog, I have to find one that likes being in a truck everyday all day and then I want a dog that is not animal aggressive this time around, because that was another can of worms to deal with, the dog also has to be chill and not jumping around and barking distracting me while I'm driving

It would be nice to have company when I'm out on the road and I'm still missing my old dog, but I'm also enjoying the less responsibilities and more independence right now


Believe me, you guys will be the first ones to know and see pics if I get another dog
