Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

While getting the tire fixed the guy tried his best to get me to buy super singles!! I told him they are the worst idea ever, if one blows you loose time, you pay for road service which is highly expensive!!! I had a blow out on one of trailers and waited 5 hours for road service, they are not worth the money or the loss of time and money!!!!

 

New forum called truckers forum which is a very positive place.

 

Well, I get to my p/u point and immeadiately get assigned a load to Denver. The bad part is that I have to wait for the load to get transferred over to my trailer. Apparently the previous driver destroyed the landing gear on his trailer. How do you do that?

 

I got my brokered beer load today and have the same problem, but opposite end of the trl. 46k load in A REEFER trl What is this, Central Heavy Haul? I rarely get loads < 40k. I ask other drivers and they get 33-36k. i am 12020 / 32420 /34220 with 1/2 tank of fuel and thats with the tandems slid all the way back. I got through a few pre pass sites like this. Parking in truck stops is a pain because of the lack of space so it looks like ill be doing what hte heavy and oversized haulers do and park to the side. Or in rest areas. for the next couple days.

 

Ill be in denver on Tue

 

If I'm still there I'll let ya know.

I'm runnin a 20k load this time. Had to wait 6 hrs to get 22 pallets transferred. The pallet Jack the crew brought out wouldn't fit under the pallets, so we put a flatbed between the 2 trailers and used a forklift. That went slow till the end when they almost dumped the forklift off the flatbed. Even with all that, still looks like I can make the 99 ontime, maybe.

 

Oh man.. Fun fun.. N/w tells me to hurry to my 02 and guess what.. Even tho I was supposed to be here today.. The po my loads under doesn't deliver till 1400 tom.. And somehow my 99 delivers at 7 am tom.. Then my 01 picks up at noon.. I asked to just drop in bolingbrook and then I can wake up in am and get over to 01.. So well see how that goes.

 

# of my 3 drops are in the Chicago area with the last in Bolingbrook itself. Hate having to pay that 10 bucks there to park!!!!

 

Shoot.. I wish I could park at the greater chicago ts.. I'm parked on the side of the street about a 1/2 mile from my 02.. I gotta come over at 0300... Get a number given to me and then go back over to my street and wait till they call my number.. Then come unload.. Well I had a nice 1000 mile preset that unloaded wed morning around 7 am.. Would have given me 3988 mile for the week.. But that's messed over now.. Took it away from me.. And all they can say is.."Well make it right."

 

In Denver now had to have load repowered. Just like I told them before I accepted it. I did not have enough hours. But did they listen???? NNOOOOOOO
ofcourse not I am just a driver. I don't know what I am doing with my hours. lol.
