Good morning all, happy Thirsty Thursday! Like there's any room now, Lee....LOL. Had to come in early and relieve the guys that ran all night. Just love these 5 am days...Ug. Raining to beat the band at the moment, we really need the moisture.

Good morning, everyone! I've been out trucking for a few days this week. For as slow as March was for me, it was nice to at least end it on a high note. Hopefully April picks up more. Had 1.20" in the gauge this morning and I think there's more to come today...or at least, the sky looks like it. Haven't watched the weather report yet.
I'm super jealous of that lift, Pat! That's a bucket list thing for me, for sure!

Good morning everyone! Had just a half a day of trucking yesterday to finish the job we were on and now I'm on the hunt for work again. It was really nice to have the last day of work so the truck had an opportunity to break, though. The bottom of the muffler stack rusted out and now it's basically straight piped right to just under the cab. Sure makes my basic looking Cascadia sound mean but I'm not listening to that day in and day out. Got other things to fix on it anyway. At least this is my chance to make the stack short enough to fit in Dad's shop now!
If I don't get the chance, Happy Easter to each of you and your families!

Good afternoon all! Two weeks of afternoon shift starting today. Got the brakes done on the Fusion Saturday. Had the right front caliper lock up on me after I was done breaking in the pads about two blocks from the house. Smoked the rotor, had to replace it and the damn caliper. Shop reeked of burnt brakes.

Good morning everyone! Long day of trucking yesterday. Gonna try to get some things done around the house and get some parts found for the semi. The muffler finally rotted out last week and it's basically straight piped. It doesn't really hurt the truck to run like that if you need to but it gets old listening to that Detroit beller all day long.
