So we did a 34hr restart over the weekend, got a full 70hrs of drive time Monday 6-18 morning and not to long after we got a load, picked up in Portland,CT 6-18 n delivered in Waynesburg,OH yesterday 6-20. Well when we picked up I was getting out of the truck to help Big Daddy move the trailer axle 'tandems' so that our weight was legal, which is steer tires 'front truck tires' cant weigh more than 12,000, the drives 'back tires on the truck' and trailer axle 'tandems' no more than 34,000 on each.
Anyways when I was stepping down to the ground, under my right foot in all its glory, a freakin rock. Next thing I know I roll my ankle and land flat on my back in the dirt, HA! that'll teach me to look at the ground before stepping down, which I do keep a three point stance '2 hands 1 foot or 1 hand 2 feet' every time I get in and out of the truck and I always look at the ground to make sure Im not going to step in or on anything, hmm Im not sure why I didn't this time? All is good though, yea my ankle/foot hurt still but hey it'll heal up...dang rock in Connecticut!
On another note were in Ohio...SO HOT! got another load under us headed to Napoleon,OH and it looks like the planners are headed us back west, which Big Daddy is happy with, cause he really doesn't like it on the east coast, me on the other hand, I like it! Id rather be on the west coast but Im happy anywhere we go. Im not the driver so I think I enjoy it more over here ;-) Being able to see beautiful places that most people never get to, I feel so blessed to be out here with him. I know Ive said it before but seriously I cant imagine being out here with anyone else, hes great at what he does n Im so proud of him.
I trust Big Daddy with my life, that's why I don't worry bout the traffic, weather and messed up roads, he can get through it all no problem. Speaking of the messed up roads, there's so many tolls over here that are there to pay for the roads to get fixed, so question is why are the roads still messed up?
seriously its like a roller coaster or riding a mechanical bull. I don't get it, if the tolls are really there to pay for the roads to get fixed it should be smooth sailing not messed up.
!!GET THE ROADS FIXED!!!
until then I guess we'll all just enjoy the bumpy ride whenever were on the road.
