Wow its been a week

Well Its been a week since I posted on my blog. Well we picked up a load in Grand Falls, Montana. close to 40,000 pounds of flour headed towards California. The first thing we had to do was scale it to make sure we were legal weight. This all had to be done before we were able to add fuel to the truck. Wow the scale reading was very close by the time we added fuel to the truck 120 gallons we were at 79880 pounds total weight . and the limit is 80000 pounds oh my! I felt the weight the first time we went up a hill wow did I get to do allot of shifting all the way to Nevada. We ended up spending the night at Mills City, Nevada. I got my first call back at a scale house "chicken coup" lol. I was coming into the scale I thought a little fast and popped the clutch on the scale. That pissed off the scale master and he red lighted me and said back up and do it all over one axle at a time. My trainer was pissed at me but I was like shit I thought I was going to fast. What I learned out of this was take your damn foot off the clutch completely and let it go on its own. That will never happen to me again! at the truck stop in mills city around 10:30 that night I felt a pain hit me in my right side and groin area that was getting very painful. The first thing I thought was food poison. I was starting to hurt more and more and said oh my this is something more. to make a long story short I ended up calling a ambulance and ended up in the hospital with a kidney stone OUCH! I told my trainer to take the load to California without me. I am officially of the truck right now until I get a clearance from my doctor. I am so pissed. So today I'm home relaxing and waiting for this stone to pass. So I can get back to work.
