Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

There is also the portal that you can use...forget how to use it now.

 

On Guard Issue
I forgot to tell this last week.....I was cruising up fancy gap doing about 30 to 35 mph.
There are two heavy hauls doing about 15 so I move to the center lane and start to pass them. As I get about a quarter way up along side of the first one, my on guard gives several real fast beeps and then slams on the brakes...I come to almost a stop in the center lane and try to get going again. The transmission will not stop jumping on me weather I am in manual or auto. So I stop the truck completely and it then starts out. I quickly move to the right hand lane and fortunately no one was right on my tail or it could have been bad.
So I catch up to them again and make the pass with no incidents. It happened so quick I did not have time to panic or get scared....Just dealt with it and moved on.
I hate that thing and would never put one on a truck if I owned it!

 

My week started with me sitting at the truck Monday morning since I was sent home mt.
I got a load to pick up at Protec in Leipsic Ohio. 94 mile dh with 535 loaded. I knew I had been there before, but did not remember it until I saw it...usual...lol
Got a real heavy coil of 19,320 going to Steel Tech in Decatur Al. Again, I knew I had been there, but could not remember until I crossed the river and saw the boats.

From there I got to go to Southland tube to pick up a pre loaded trailer...oh the joy.
This one was missing a front mud flap...no big deal and had one of the marker lights out.
So I got as far as I could in the light and shut down and called in a breakdown call.
They asked if I could make it to a shop or a TA and I said no...I need to run early in the morning and I need it fixed tonight. So The guy came out and fixed it.
This load was going to Namasco in Charlotte NC. I just knew there would be another preloaded trailer for me...
Next load pick up at Charlotte Pipe in Monroe going to Leesburg Va.
When I pull around to the trailer, the guy is already working on it.
It needed new brake pads on one of the wheels, had a massive air leak on the one air bag and three lights out. Then I find about 20 vertical blocking pieces of wood along with an assortment of other wood.
I finally got out of there and made it up the road and stopped with about 10 minutes at Brentles in Mt Airy.
Made my delivery the next day and got a pick up at Gaf in Myerstown Pa going to Louisville Ky.
I will make my delivery on Monday and head on down there on Sunday.
Have a great weekend!
