FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

My check engine light is on, how fun. The truck is still driving just fine though.

 

When my day is over today, I'll have 4,088 paid miles for the pay period, last Wed through this Tues. Pretty productive week I guess, considering how F'd up it was with a breakdown and everything else going on

 

Dropped my load at Four Oaks NC. Pickup in Henderson NC going to the KC dropyard. Lately, its all I have been doing, but the miles have ticked upward so not complaining at all.

 

No clue, this is all that shows. Truck still runs just fine. Not sure what's going on.



Meanwhile, pulled into a Kwik Star on the west side of Davenport, and will deliver in the morning. Next load is mulch from BFN, Iowa between here and Des Moines to some plant place in Omaha.

Also realized that I'm smack in the middle of the highest risk for severe storms. The Kansan is me is excited to grab a lawn chair and beverages to sit outside and watch it unfold. If that sounds weird to everyone else, that's just how we do things in Kansas. In my town, if a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning is issued, you'll literally see people standing on their porch or in the street and watch the storm, me included.

 

We're like that in FL too...I love a good severe thunderstorm.

 

Same in Oklahoma, turn on the local news and watch how excited our favorite weather man gets, grab the beer and lawn chairs

 

I saw the path yesterday where one crossed I-65 south of indy the other day. Took out a newer looking warehouse, all the distribution centers with drop trailers next to it on each side were completely untouched, always amazed how they do that

 

I will quote a resident during the Greenburg, KS tornado in '07.

"It's the little things you remember. It's the straw driven into trees, a house completely destroyed, and things sitting on the kitchen table that haven't been touched. There's just..no sense to it."

Tornadoes do leave bizarre trails of damage.

 

Was in the 80's most of the way up, just got to Aurora and it's 34 with the wind chill
