    Schneider got my appointment time for this load wrong. Said to be here at 6am, so got here at 5am since this is Long Island New York and anything can happen but customer tells me I am scheduled for 10am. This load was suppose to be here 4 days ago as well so no wonder Schneider was big on me getting here.

    Still if it was recorded correctly i could of stayed put a few more hours and save my 14 hour clock, now this will take up my whole day.

    Did foresee something happening since I had nothing but issues this week so set my NAT for next day so not to be assigned a load to pu.

    7 days till home time and I can't wait! Hopefully when I come back refreshed there won't be any issues.

    My truck derated on me, and my dash lit up like the fourth. Stuck at the Atlanta OC until we figure out a course of action. Sadface.

    I had that happen during training, close to 300k on the dash? Probably some port needs to be changed. Sucks. You hit the road already? Im stuck here coraopolis pa. Quala wash frozen and like trucks including mine, keep sliding the hill where trailers are at. Cant reach it for my trailer move lol. Thats all i got for today. Ran my 1500 miles im 2days and 4 hours, then drove to keasbey and sat there the day. Spent yesterday running and unloading that 3 compartment heated trailer. Total sh**show lol and now here i am.

    Drive safe man and be careful. Also check your bleeder valves that they work out here in the cold. You may or may not need to loosen 1 dog ear at a time and let air slip out that way if nothing comes out the valve lol best of luck in the cold

    Watched a Schneider guy get stuck at the TA on exit 4 i80 New Jersey. He had a tig Adel truck so no rear drive power bland was just spinning in his spot. He finely got lose after breaking up the ice around his tires to let him move.

    I hate this cold mostly due to loads and internal valves being frozen. So far only did 2 loads where I had to unload. That glue one stilill gives me nightmares from being out 9 hours waiting for it to unload. That gunk frozen my hoses and pump when I went to get them clean. Still think there is product in the pump since I can see bits in the back when I flash a light in there.
