An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

That's what I was suspecting as well, but then they started working again. Maybe the truck is like it's driver and was just throwing a temper tantrum, then it got over whatever was pissing it off and went back to doing it's job like it should. ------->

 

The Sam-crappa, on the other hand, is still a glitchy POS. When I stopped in Hawthorne and went to log a post trip then off duty, it had issues finding my location. Then it found itself, and showed Hawthorne, NV for my duty changes. Then yesterday after a mid day reboot, it changed all the Hawthorne entries to 65 miles NNW of Mammoth Lake, CA...it had Hawthorne in it's location database one day, then it didn't have it the next day.

 

Unloading went about as fast as the loading. I had a System driver lend a hand pulling and folding tarps(and I returned the favor when it was his turn to pull tarps). The unload went so quick, I didn't finish rolling my straps and putting my bungies away before I was empty.(Imagine how much faster it would have been if I wouldn't have had to tarp it). Sent a load before I could scan my paperwork in. Hurried up to Redmond, WA to pick up my favorite(and I mean that, no sarcasm to it), a Genie load. 2 boom lifts and 3 scissor lifts going to Meridian, Hattiesburg and Biloxi for next week. Managed to get loaded and back to Ellensburg for the night(and there was still a few parking spots.). Overall a decent day.

Talk about how weather can change in a week. Last week, I was seeing triple digits, this morning in Pendleton it was 38°, and it only managed the mid-70's this afternoon in Redmond.

 

And this is how many miles my Nag-a-gator said I drove in May

 

He was surprised to see me pop around the corner of his trailer because I pulled out before I put all my gear away so he could get to the unloading spot. The forklift guys were caught off guard too. They thought I had forgotten something until they saw me heading for this guy's truck.

We used to do that at the glass hauling company. At the bigger glaziers, we usually had multiple trucks delivering there daily, so I helped the guy in front of me, and the next guy in line behind me helped me. It made an impression on most of the unloaders too because it meant they got done quicker and could get out of their hot leather safety gear. Once Wylie took us over, most of the Wylie guys would just sit in their trucks and watch...so we returned the favor.
