Andrew's Trucking Journey Continues

That's awesome

 

Back up in Reno. Just sitting in a door waiting to get loaded.



This week started off with a run to Sparks, with a backhaul out of Reno to Mira Loma.

They had some fierce winds coming out of Reno on 395 South prohibiting Trucks.

So I had to turn around and come back down around onto alt 95, to route 6, and then 395.

Slowed me down for a minute but that was better than waiting for it to clear.

I know trucks were waiting around at the TA for the weather to improve.

I think I80 over Donner was messed up too with snow and slow, plus chaining up.
Keep it safe,
Roll on!

 

Did TTR change something? It's seems to be more difficult to add a profile picture.

Looks like profile needs to be a 200×200 now? Maybe it's just me, but didn't notice that before.

I also wanted to add more video and that's not working out very well either.

Oh well, I will figure something out.

 

Delivered in Mira Loma, took my MT back to the yard, picked up a load to Vegas. Dropped that, now deadheading back to Redlands.

Productive day.. love when that happens

Today we are starting off with just a little bit of the white stuff. lol..

 

Primm Nevada at California State line. Yeah crazy weather. A truck slid off the road going down that first mountain pass in Cali.

Once I got to Baker it was all clear.

 

After my deadhead back, I was dispatched to our Phoenix drop.

While in route, Ka boom! Blow out! In my right side mirror I see debris flying everywhere

You know those brand new tires I was showing you earlier? Yep, they are retreads ..

The tread just flew off, meanwhile the tire itself stayed inflated.

No figure!


Oh well.. definitely delayed my progress. I was running right on time, but unfortunately by the time they got it fixed, I couldn't make it there.

So that ended up delaying the next driver because this was a relay for an LTL/multi stop driver. That sucks. But there's only so much time in a day..

I delivered it first thing in the morning ASAP. Deadhead back, then home for the weekend.

It's good to be back!

Keep on trucking!
