Note to self, don't lay down without setting an alarm. Parked at a truck stop to do a 30 min that ended up turning into a 10 hour break.

I am going blind. I drove around the Utility trailer lot 3 times looking at every Shaffer trailer (and looked past mine). After almost 30 min of driving around, I finally saw mine. There were 40 of our trailers there including mine spread out over a dozen or more acres...and I drove past mine several times. All the new trailers have black side skirts up there now. Not sure if that's all they have left with all the parts shortages, or if Lincoln ordered them that way...but I managed to get there, pick up my trailer, get back to Morse road and get my load picked up, and get to the Columbus yard...so now I have a whopping 15 hrs on my 70 thru Tuesday. Been running like I want 10-11+ hours a day.
Oh, and I had to rub my eyes and look twice when I went to drop the empty at Morse road...the 1st row has all the holes filled in with asphalt...I thought I was seeing things.Speed_Drums, intrepidor, dwells40 and 2 others Thank this. -
After dropping that load in Riverside, I was task with picking up a van load out the Walmart DC just 3.5 miles away from the drop yard. Find it funny that the drop yard is also the same place the load was meant to be live loaded.
Load goes all the way up to Oregon. Wonder if I'll be forced to run vans a bit or after swapping at the Walmart DC in Oregon, get sent somewhere to change trailers.
Also first time moving a Walmart load that bills have no info on what's inside. Just a single sheet of paper that says I have 31,000 lbs of non-hazmat units, but no description on what "units" I have.dwells40, Lonesome and Speed_Drums Thank this. -

So far, the only minor complaint I have with this manual truck is the magnetic latches on the flop down battery door, and the fridge doesn't latch shut. I am using some mini bungie cords to hold the fridge shut, but am working on trying to figure out some sort of rigged up latch for the battery door...other than that, (karma be ######), I am much happier in this truck than any of the others...even if I can't 'bypass' the dang on-guard like I could with the '19.
