Really glad you are back - but it is going to take a bit of adjusting from the evergreen trees and scenic mountain roads to these brown scruffy bushes and pretty flat roads. My hat off to you for taking change and new challenges with such an open mind. Thanks for taking us where most of us would never be even close to seeing in person!

Hi Mike, over here in Ohio, they call US 40 "The National Road." As for too many trucks, if they had to pay you for sitting, things would change in a hurry. You drivers need to stick together and push the issue.

We had detention pay in the 70's-80's. It was too expensive for shippers, and they got the Federal government to repeal detention pay. Ain't gonna happen again, you can bet on it.

There's something hypnotic about watching the road, even though the weather looks dreary, and the landscape doesn't look bright and cheery. I don't know if I'll ever make it out to Colorado and Utah again. My last sojourn out that way in 2019, I had no idea how things would change for us. At this time, I don't even have a car I would trust to get us there.

They put water on the gravel to keep the dust done yes, but most importantly it helps the gravel pack easier. 125000 you must have a 550hp Cummins or better. By the sound of your truck you must be driving a 13 or 18 speed Ultrashift as well. If your shifting manual I'm impressed.

Hey, thar mouten man Mike. This past summer I rode my motorcycle US50 across Nevada then I70 across Utah to Mesa Colorado then southwest over the GrandMesa to Delta south US550 the million dollar highway south thru NewMexico to Bernalillo NM I25 to Albuquerque then I40 back to Arizona then home. I can blame all of this travel on you. Back in the late 70s early 80s I hawled fuel for EXON and this is the first time traveling since then. I made one more trip into Denver, then south to Colorado Springs, and I did the ride up Pikes Peak: AWSOME"

Things were screwed up yesterday, then screwed up again today? You only got one load? Better wait before you buy a truck, to see if they do that screw up 300 days a year out of 365, and you have payments to make regardless. Far fewer ulcers happen when you just drive for someone else, and let them worry about that stuff. Fifty more loads a day from that well will just attract even more trucker bees to the honey.
