Blah, that time again, my DBL scheduled my DOT physical for Friday afternoon Can't believe it is about to expire already. At least I know I will be home early on Friday!
I hope no one from here or SNI got caught up in the road closure of I-75 at I -280 this morning. What I heard on the CB was a loaded truck/trailer ran up onto or into an MT car hauler. I was diverted onto 280 at 0500. When I was coming back SB at 1000ish they were just then driving away with the burned out cab(only thing left was the frame and the sleeper ) and partially burned up trailer( front third burned but still intact). Could see two separate spots where a fire occurred on the roadway approx. 50 yds apart. I sincerely hope the driver of the burned truck got out safely.
I went by at about 0930 this morning. It was only backed up about 3 miles....only the far left lane was open. I had my cb off so didn't know about it, by the time I saw the back up and turned on my cb, I was past the US24 exit to get around it......didn't set me back to far.
aka: you screw up.....your done. Anyways, at home again, really don't mind this new gig with weekends off. I see everyone getting into these new T680's and the newer guys too! How do I know, cause their backing sucks! Sorry, no offense. If your going to put a driver in a nicer truck that would represent the company better, put a decent driver in it please.
and yesterday, I'm running US 68 sb in Ky , right at Ky 167 , get stopped by a car wreck. two vehicles. Life flight helo set down in front of the truck!!! I was only delayed about a half hour total. While I was waiting, a different ambulance pulled up with a patient in the back!! They let them go through before the helo started the engines again. Really hope that car driver made it ok.
Got bumped out of my old truck cause intermodal wanted it back so that was a bummer right there. I like my new 2010 Century but there is no way to keep the cab cool without idling, and being stuck here in Edwardsville, IL at 85+ with 44% humidity, yeah, I'm idling. There goes the bonus though.
