JCT

You got it.That would be great ...Facebook is not my thing.Would also like to hear about the loads and miles also.

 

Yes, you better keep a CLOSE eye on that guy!!! Watch you cell phone minutes as well! (can you say Long Winded!) Just Kidding, he's okay for a lefty!

Dabs, I am certain I passed you guys yesterday between Flagstaff and Kingman. Yellow truck looked pretty good with you guys!

 

Thanks herkyboy! Honk next time if you see the Big Yeller Bird! I did see at least 3 JCT's in that area so I must have seen you, but didn't know which one would be you.

 

"Shall I include things like the guy who was asking for money tonight as he "drove" by the parked trucks instead of walking... stopping at each one with a driver???"

HA HA!! thats amazing, probably in a nicer car than we drive. I did have a guy approach me for gas money at a Loves in OK, I kept watching and he climbed in to a late model BMW, 2006-2008ish, payments must be a #####!

Called my Honey and asked her to check Weather Channel and help me decide whether to work my way south from SLC to I-40, or run like the dickens across I-80. Found a hole in the weather and had clear sailing from Idaho, thru Utah and Wyoming. Stayed with the "weather hole" and did not stop till I got into Nebraska. Git "er done !!

Made delivery. JCT paid $50.00 lumper fee via EFS check, got my receipt to turn in.

No freight at this time.
Would I like to do some "local work"
Let"s see, sit around and twiddle my thumbs or... Crapola, ok

Picked up a trailer and took it to a shop. Picked up another trailer from a different shop and took it to a customer. BT out. Mileage plus $50.00, hmmm, that wasn"t so bad.

Pretty uneventful days, just like I like them. Nice driving weather, a little rain, not much.

11-23
Most of the day was enjoyable. Truck is running great, getting control of my fuel mileage in this 379. Got it up to 5.3 mpg at 60 mph. I can live with that. Will continue trying to improve.

PrePass flashed red. Got pulled into Banning Scales for Level 1 Inspection. Found something wrong with truck, was not enuff to put me OOS and they let me continue on. Contacted JCT shop, was told if I wanted to come to Sapulpa, JCT would repair truck no charge to me since I have only had this truck for 3 weeks. Guess where I am going? Yep, to Sapulpa for repairs, You betcha!!

Delivered San Bernardino load 1 day early. JCT paid $60.00 lumper fee via EFS check and I got my receipt.

No time left to get another run today.
Camped out in Mira Loma at Farmer Bros Restaurant overnight.

Deadhead to Yuma AZ for 11-25 pickup. 223 MT miles.

This load will do two things, 1, get me to Sapulpa for free truck repairs, and 2, gets me thru my house to see my Honey.

Arrived in Sapulpa for FREE truck repair that JCT paid for and got PM and free truck and trailer wash while I was there. Nice job on the wash too!

**NOTE**
I did send flowers to her on and she rcvd them on the 24th via JCT and Qualcomm. Did it over the Qualcomm and they take the money out of my settlement.

Continued on to and arrived at Shelbyville, IN. Checked in with guard, let me deliver early.
