2021 summer fires

[ranger danger]

I'm retired now. Drove truck for 38 years. For 7 years as an owner/opperator I had a contract run from Sacramento CA to Indianapolis IN. I left Sac around 3am Monday. Got 4-5 hours sleep in Cheyenne WY. Spent the next night in Indianapolis. Swapped trailers and went back. Was home on friday by noon. Averaged around 1100 miles a day solo.
