    Been busy all weekend. Had me bobtail 350 miles in the pouring rain from Atlanta to Mobile Al to pick up and empty trailer, then deadhead 560 miles in the same pouring rain to Savannah Ga to do a drop and hook going to West Jefferson. Now reloaded heading back to RVA.

    We have two trucks down now.

    The latest one lost a battle with a yellow pole and destroyed both the hood and the radiator.

    What difference does the logic make if you’re getting paid, I’d drive around in circles, backwards for 3000 miles a week if I was getting paid for it. Maybe just my simple way of thinking.......

    Here’s your sign. Inspected 3/19 so tell me what the means boys and girls? Yes, the inspection ran out 3/20. And what month is it? 10/20. Alrighty then. Oh, but I have to take it, get loaded and then take it to the shop for them to just slap another sticker on it. Because you know that’s just about what they’re going to do.

    Wait RC, I’m quite sure this particular trailer just slipped through the cracks, I’m quite sure all the drivers that have hooked to it the last 7 months have had other pressing issues to deal with than an expired inspection. {sarcasm}

    It gets tiresome doing that and dealing with the BS and double talk. Don’t care who you are. And that is what I do all the time. Drive in circles. Going to the same 4-5 places every day, every week.

    For us that trailer doesn't reach a public highway.
    Mobile service would be inspecting and stickering.
    Can you imagine the lawsuit stemming from a fatal?

    That would be my thinking, but not here. Big boss is the one who said and sent a Qualcomm message...gotta love that too.
