    Got up at 0100 to get moving to get down to my BH delivery and around the shop at the Sadieville, Ky Loves I was at a white volvo with a container was parked in the middle of the lot in an L-shape with both his container chassis axles at weird angles as they were broke and loose and he couldn't move. He was blocking a few drivers in their spots and they were biotching at him to get out of the way. Driver looked dazed and confused as to why his axles were like that.

    Home until next Thursday. In case anyone wants to know, Volvo J’ville moved our doors to number 1-12. The other end of the building and doubled the amount of doors to drop in.

    Oh, whoever picked up trailer 7141 at Byhalia and dropped it at J’ville with both mud flaps and brackets missing, rest assured, I got it taken care of on my way home last night. The only thing I can think of in light of your sheer laziness and no driving skills, I hope the next time you take the shortcut and leave something like this for another driver, you get a DOT inspection and get put out of service while you’re looking at the ticket the man just wrote you. There is absolutely no mistake, Abilene in doing exactly what Knight/Swift Holding Corporation wants done, hire strictly mirror foggers at a reduced compensation rate. You get what you pay for.

    Just count the days, what do you have left 260 and a wake up? The end is in sight.

    I’ve actually started working on a fall back plan for when these speed limiters are mandated, I will sell my truck and go in a different direction.
     
    Lonesome, jarhead0311 and JohnBoy Thank this.

    Lithia Springs BH got me unloaded fast which was great and got up to the Smithfield pork plant two hrs early in Cumming and loaded early there back to New Castle then an unrequested reset then off to the really tight Scottsdale, Az BH place. Hopefully the next trailer I get isn't muffed up, waited 8 hrs yesterday to get the turn signal marker replaced on this trailer I got now.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.
