Climate Express

Jesus man, when they get behind its a big mess there. It was about 3½ hrs there. I don't think it would have been so long if the 1st trailer had a working reefer. Coolant temp was high in 3823 and it kept shutting off. I hooked to 2505, and they were going to send someone to get 3823....then I had to sweep snow out of the trailer. That don't even make sense lol.

 

I had a feeling they would be backed up like Wright City was. That's probably why you got such a late appt. I was scheduled to drop at 1500 yesterday in Denver but I said dam that, I woke up at 6 am and got that load off. I'm headed back to Moberly with some bird seed now. I got about 3 more hrs of driving to get there.

 

Dang man, I didn't even know they had such a policy. 6 hrs before appt time is pretty still lenient though. In my perfect world, every place would have rope like that.

 

Man I'll tell you what......yesterday was a day. I got the bird seed in Akron, CO. I made back into MO Monday night. Got up yesterday, got moving. Got on US 36 and that first scale stopped me and gave an inspection. He puts me out of service because one of my drive tires was low on air, and I had just aired every last one of them all the way up on Sunday. Waited all day for someone to come out there. They tell me the valve stem was broke, which there was no evidence of on my pretrip. I bet that's why the tire wasn't right. Anyway, the put a new drive tire on because they didn't have any used. Now I'm in East STL seeing about potentially another tire, except this is on the trailer I picked up from Orschelns. My next load is Hershey going to Ft. Worth for tomorrow night. It was ready last night. Professor, I can agree on one thing, it certainly is some unique dispatching going on. Had I not had all those issues, I would have almost 3 full days on the Ft. Worth load. It don't deliver til 9 pm tomorrow night.
