    First Richmond
    Second Memphis
    Third Richmond
    Fourth Volvo, Columbus

    Fourth time was something new and not from prior three times.

    But my Aux Port on AM/FM is still plugged.
    And CB still doesn’t have any Power.
    But I’ll address those issues in 2019.

    This truck is right on the cusp of being ready to run hard... it took a few tries but we are making headway... it will be an awesome truck once we deal with these last few issues.

    Think I beat my all time Monday morning record,4 1/2 hrs waiting on a load.
    Sent a broker load,and when I get here they say about 3 1/2 hrs to load,been a waisted day,Friday can't get here soon enough.

    Took 5 1/2 hrs,Kellogg's in Kansas City stinks.

    Going on 17 hours sitting at a Dealership in Columbus... a wonderful day was had by all.

    Highlight: Rottweiler named Mia

    A new Light Switch and two NOX sensors.
    THIS made returning to OTR worth it.

    /sarcasm (except for Mia)

    Had sort of the same thing yesterday. A quick trip to a Ford plant for an emergency delivery wrecked my afternoon. The power cord to the trailer broke on the way there. It took nearly two hours to get someone out to replace it. By then it was 15:15 and I had to fight traffic back to the yard.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and Silverdriver Thank this.

    "Mia" in Spanish that means "mine" Why didn't you get close to it; and look at it straight into her eyes and said "You are mine"!
