Millis OTR journal

Yeah I guess I am, not as much as I would if I was driving. But an extra hit is paying for trainees food because he has only worked one day in the past month.

 

Why don’t they try to get you in another truck on temporary basis to keep you moving until yours is done??

 

They are doing that now, but KW dealer has been saying tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, for past several days. They finally admitted it’s going to be awhile. So tomorrow someone is taking us to terminal to pick up temp truck. I’ve got nothing good to say about Palmer KW in in Indy. The only highlight and this is how sad it’s been is seeing 2 of these in their storage lot.

 

I saw a couple of Celadon trailers recently, they still had the lettering on them.

 

Well got my original truck back this afternoon. Mechanic picked us up drove us to Trenton. We picked up temporary truck drove it back to Indy to pick up trailer. KW said truck was done. Left temporary truck at KW for the Millis guy we passed on the side of 70 to use when he gets his truck towed in.

 

Never fails…if you hadn’t Gone to get the loaner truck you’re truck still wouldn’t be done..lol

 

You are right!!! Also did a good deed the other driver coming in won’t have to suffer the same fate.

 

Bring an umbrella and it won't rain.

 

Made my delivery in St Elmo last night 7 pm, made my pick up in Edwardsville ill 430am now shut down at pontoon beach. My dad used to tell me I’m good for nothing. Glad I’m proving him right. Also used to tell me I could ruin a free lunch. Don’t think I’ve experienced that one yet.

 

It took Worldwide Equipment in Princeton, WV a full week to get me rolling after my fuel pump went out a couple of years ago. The week's worth of breakdown pay I got was pretty much on par with what I would've made that week. I was surprised.
