Winter Blast on its way

Ayup
Did the honey do list a couple times, watched a program on the Bering Sea, made some fresh pasta with garlic- didn’t go outside once. The Good Life!



tomorrow once it let’s up I’ll take a shovel to the yard and fight a heart attack, then plug one of the new ones in for ####s and giggles. I will point out, them new trucks kick over cold same as if it was warm. Still gonna chuck the plug on the one I might use this week.

 

####...

####... I see what you mean, but nah, I'm not the type of person to argue with people, I'm that type of person to go to a restaurant and there's a fly in my food, I won't tell the waiter or the manager, I'll just leave and never come back lol. Like there's this one dispatcher that's kinda rude, like when you're asking him some questions about the load, it's like you're annoying and stuff but I never call him out on it, I struggle with that a lot but I'll definitely keep my head on the swivel from now on though.

 

Make sure you can get out of your parking spot before you need to be moving. If you've got a small shovel then you can remove the snow and ice around your tires and create a little runway starting at your steers and going out a few feet..If you can get a hold of some kittie litter that'll help with gaining traction.. mainly you'll want to focus on packing the litter around your drive tires and pack it close enough that once you're drive tires are spinning it'll catch the litter.. if you can't get a hold of litter then you can use wood or anything that'll allow you to gain traction. When you park in this kind of weather try to be as level as possible as you don't want to park on a incline (looks like you chose a good spot)..also try to get all the ice off your truck as you don't want it falling off in the road and hitting another vehicle.. you can't really do much about what's on top of your trailer.. but they do make drivers responsible for it in certain cases..like if it caused a bad accident..



Have a good week and stay safe..

 

Thanks! I did do a walk around the truck and man... I really hope I don't get stuck lol, these are all ice, all on the truck, around the tires, it's crazy lol.

 

Do u guys run into that alot in the local trucking world? Its a common occurance on construction and jobsites when ur picking up equipment or any material. Actually i never left a jobsite with paperwork before. Always just carry some blanks and fill it out myself, so im legal.

 

I've been at the house since Friday night just before all this mess came into middle Tennessee and tomorrow morning starts my week. It's been raining all day with temps in the low 30's but now they're in the middle teens and staying there until Wednesday according to the forecast. I was planning on calling out early tomorrow morning using PTO to cover but got a call from the company earlier tonight, "wait and see until later in the morning", they might actually be telling us to not even come in to work tomorrow. Either way I'm not going in but fingers crossed that I don't have to burn a day of PTO on it.

 

Yeah im supposed to leave out tomorrow but my whole neighborhood is a sheet of ice here in GA. Gonna be worse tomorrow.

 

Not worth it.

 

Wait, it hit Georgia as well? ####, that was a big storm...

 

Went to north carolina as well and up to the northeast.
