I’m in Salt Lake City. Pulled triples today. Guess that answers my question earlier. In hotel now. Hey bobcat what are your trucks governed at?
Really surprised they are having you do triples so soon.
Our trucks are 65, unless the run it is assigned to is more than 600 miles than it is 68. We also have some at 70 my terminal has 1 I'm not sure what the mileage requirements are for that.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Me to but I’m not complaining that’s more money lol oh ok. Ours are mostly 63 but some 65. Truck I have now is 65 so that’s nice

I got passed by a Holland truck out here he was doing 68 which is highly unusual. Almost all the YRC/ Holland trucks are 63 l, which makes them fun to pass at 65 since they never want to cut me some slack.
Oh he must know someone to have it bumped up. My trainer told me there was this woman who knew how to hack into the computer to bump it up. They had to get on her case lol. Dk if they ended up firing her or not. Ya if I see a truck passing me I slow down a little and let them pass

How's it been going? Getting any faster hooking?
You a grumpy union driver yet? Lol
It’s great I’ve been busy running a lot. Mostly Cali runs during week and nearing weekend I usually get a longer run. I’m in susanville Cali now 88 miles west of Reno. I do triples up to Reno then doubles here. Tomo I will do the reverse back to Vegas. I am union driver but grumpy not yet lol

Doubles:
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
How’s it going out there Rhino?
Good good. This week they made some updates to their system and are getting ready for the yellow merge. So this week been a lil crazy but not bad. Once they work out the kinks should get better. I’m enjoying myself tho
