    Just got off the phone with a fellow Shaffer bizarre situation he's in Oklahoma on 35 being held hostage at a dot weight station...he's legal being told we're not letting any crete drivers pass until your fines are paid off...he's told some other driver was over 1k on his trailer paid with a personal check or credit card that bounced so they tell my guy you need to pay us 250 and your truck can't go anywhere until that's paid off...he gets an efs check as is released idk this is harassment to me... what's one driver have to do with another drivers problem, they know who he is got his tractor trailer #s they shouldn't be doing that to other legal drivers it's bs... crazy though

    Think you're being told a fishin story. You pay the judge, not the scale in OK.

    I saw a Crete truck late this afternoon parked at the SB Davis scale on 35 in Oklahoma. Driver didn't look too happy. I wonder if that was related.

    When I picked up this load in Jax yesterday, the shipper handles dry and reefer freight, on regular trailers and on containers. So, the guard has to identify what type of trailer and if it's a reefer, where the unit is mounted and what type of ducts it has. A grown adult said my trailer had roof shoots(not chutes...shoots). She was a very nice, friendly person with a good sense of humor....but shoots? Did we not play Chutes and Ladders as a kid?

    I didn't believe it either and there was another Shaffer driver on three way questioning the entire situation but I heard thr dot police in the background when he gave them the efs check and said the person with the gun is usually in control... I told him to report it to wilmer (where he was headed) tm as harassment because that's bs inmo

    From one load temp extreme to the other. Load out of Jax was a dry load, no temp required. Next load, -15/20 ice cream load to Henderson..(not complaining, just sayin)

    Ran into a trailer on fire on i8 late at night. Was in a section where the nearest city was over 30 miles away and it was already completely engulfed in flames. By the time any firetruck would arrive it will be just a pile of ash.

    Driver was safely disconnected and a ways away from trailer so my guess is something happened with his trailer tandems.
