Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

I went to driving school in MI. That was one of the first things they told us. I’ve never been a fan of grabbing dropped trailers in the cold.

 

Moved from Kansas to the UP a little over 4 years ago. Told family that the snow can't be that bad...4 months later in January and it was 20 below outside and i was shoveling 3 feet of snow off my car.

 

Culture shock?

 

Not really since i grew up in a town of 45k in a mainly rural setting. Though experiencing living in both the UP and southern Michigan, there is a major difference in feel and culture. I never really felt at home in southern Michigan, but the UP did feel like home and it was a great place to live.

 

We've had our 2023 trailers for awhile now but because I'm a big brain and couldn't figure out how to post photos until recently, i wasn't able to share them until now.

They revised the logo to be larger and added magnumlog.com near the back. They also got rid of the little inspection door on the back for some reason.

 

A well designed trailer that should last a long time. I seen them parked in Fargo until I left in October.

 

Heading to Tuttle to the Braum's farm to get these french fries delivered this morning. Open delivery window on a Sunday on a federal holiday. I remember seeing something that said Braum's was by appointment only on Sunday. Called overnight dispatch and she assured me it was an open delivery window today...we'll see. I have stuff to do at home and I'll be ###### if I waste today and half of tomorrow because a customer specialist put down the wrong thing..again.

 

Just as i thought. Rolled up and the facility was closed. Dispatch said to just take it home since I was supposed to be home on Friday. A whole day wasted because our customer specialists don't know their ### from their elbow. I hope Braum's doesn't need their fries this week.

 

They’ll need them when you get there..oh well…

 

Was annoyed in my last post if y'all couldn't tell. Overnights told me they will try to find a driver or something to take this load since I'm technically on hometime. Will call my DM in the morning to confirm that and see if I can't get some pay for my troubles. Trailer is sitting where I park my truck in the meantime. I'll swing by and check the reefer fuel periodically but it's at 3/4 and with the temperature it should last a few days before it would need to be filled again. I can take the trailer to a nearby truckstop if they find a driver to take it. I just have a lot of stuff planned and won't be able to do much driving until the end of the week at least. I shouldn't be worrying about a load while taking hometime.
