Peter and Chad's Last Day On the Truck




Our team powered up on Friday morning with a top notch trucker's breakfast.


Def nozzle is blue just like the Def tank and lid.  Diesel nozzle will not fit in the Def tank.  Diesel is always green.


Our team stopped at I-40 travel plaze and scaled the truck fuel of fuel with no trailer, driver or passenger.  The weight was 20,400 lbs heavy.

 The end of a successful journey!  Pete and Chad shake hands after a successful week.
Chad had this to say about Pete and the week:


 It was a pleasure riding alongside Pete.  He is a professional.  Pete is a proud representative of the company.  He bleeds yellow and black!  It is clear to me that to be a successful employee on the road you have to be a defensive driver, constantly be thinking 2-6 hours ahead, be a master of the in-cab technology, and conserve every single minute of time possible.

Truck driving isn't for the weak.  The days are long and you have to hustle in order to utilize all your drive time.  I believe everyone in our division would benefit from doing a ride along.  It should be a policy.
