Well, I have been doing a lot of gripping lately so I thought I'd do a slight change today. Currently (Thursday 7/17) I am sitting at the Flying J in Lodi, Ca waiting to run to Milpitas then to Rohnert Park both here in California wont get into details about this run it would only be another pity me saga. I have discovered that some of the best entertainment is just sitting in your truck and watch other drivers do some interesting things. For example I just watched a driver spend 10 minutes going back and forth between two parking slots both of which where easy backs he had plenty of room to set up one spot right across from me was even a little wider. After the 10 minutes he finely decided to go to a third spot which another truck had just moved from and next to it was an empty spot so he had 2 spots to work with and he still almost hit another truck? Now before any of you think it was another Swift, England or any other training company it was an independent driver the truck he almost hit was a Swift though. Also while I was sitting here enjoying the entertainment watching another driver attempt to back into a slot when I heard this big Bang and the truck next to me moved. Another driver from behind slammed into the back of the other truck another independent (no damage to either trailer). With all this there was a couple of drivers who got out of their trucks to help guide other drivers into slots (after all their trucks where next to the spaces) In fact the other day I was having a difficult time backing into a dock and another driver got out and helped guide me in which I was thankful.

I also need to give a little reminder while driving in California watch your speed remember the not so bright folks in Sacramento (our elected leaders) believe that trucks should only go 55 mph, which being a resident of the far left state you'd think I'd remember that but at last I did not and got clocked doing 67 on the freeway. I now have a ticket to show for it not looking forward to the notice on what I owe. Of course not sure about other states but here in California you can not go to "driving school" to wipe the ticket off your record.

Keep it Safe, I might be next to you. If not me some young family will be.
