Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Shoot..welcome to my world buddy.. 5400 in my truck alone..all over me blowing smoke like a mofoin freight train.. Guess what.. Its back again.. So bad that I can't see people behind me.. Up hill, down hill, sideways on a hilly straight strech... So gotta take it to a cummins sometime soon.. I'd assume prolly wed when I'm in georga.. Ill tell ya what.. I'm prolly switchin back to my old dm on mid west.. These....... "People" to put it extremely nice.. At west valley are morons.... To say it nicely..

 

Sideways DM??? Sideways will cause smoke!

 

at least he is facing the right direction!

 

Well, misery does love company. Got my Volvo in the TA in Mansville, NY for a balancing valve problem. They had to run to the "City" for the part...Not sure which city, but Central Ok'd. Learned that low coolant in engine can lead to engine shutoff. Very STUPID. Just give me a low level light. Don't kill my power when I am motoring up an on ramp! ARRRRRRGH.

 

Dansville...not Mansville!

 

as in NYC?.... might be down all day

 

STILL sitting here at HDF waiting for this guy to come pick up the trl I dropped off so I can take his empty to anheuser busch. Dispatch told me he was unloaded at about 0730 and now its almost 1230. The shop here seems to be working on only the rail trls instead of the regular ones. I cant take the rail trls to a beer shipper!

Never fails... the minute I complain here they pull a regular trl in to fix.... now if its loaded or unloaded thats a different story.

 

When I had to hunt down a trailer for there when I finally arrived we had close to 20 empties sitting there. I'm just sayin...

An hour south of Atlanta for the night. Was gonna head to Dallas but that load got cancelled. Now got a preset for bama then WVC for the 2nd. I'm beginning to wonder how many days I'll be late for my requested hometime?

I was thinking that DM can see all that smoke behind him because he is drivin sideways. Sideways plays havoc with tirewear as well! But... nobody is gonna pass ya while your going sideways. Ya might also try drivin backwards, that way all the smoke isn't behind ya no more.

 

Ya.. I mean the kw is mean.. Ya might be right.. Its not even my dpf.. Its all that burning 22.5 rubber.. I fixed it tho.. Had to run 3 manual regens.. And its finally not smoking.. But I am loosing miles.. Have a 540 miler with 48+ hours and dm is new.. So he doesn't wanna piss off the planners.. So he told me to sit on it.. I'm about to fire him.. So this makes 4 dms in 3 months.. I think I'm starting to run outta dms to pick from.. Actually I'm about to go back with my old dm.. Atleast on midwest, its "harley" and not "hello 94744"..

 

Got my terminology wrong....Levellor? (aren't those Blinds?) Valve...the stupid critter that makes sure your tractor is in level flight so your drive train doesn't bunch up and die. It is fixed. Coolant added and we are underway. Ran to Erie to pick up some frozen quizine to an undisclosed location near Fogellsville..rush, rush rush. Another 319 miles....WOW.
