Where are you

I'm home! Trucks broke, so now the real work begins!
And when I didn't think my day could get any worse, someone who I won't name *cough* Redd*cough* sends me a picture text.... Trust me, you all don't want to know what was on it!...

 

Cleveland..........Ohio!

Chillin' and Grillin'!

 

I'm 65 miles south of cleveland, your willing to get dirty aren't you?...

 

ConAgra in Troy, OH waiting for whatever it is to come off the line at about 1 pallet per 15 minutes.

 

Odessa, TX.......If your into wind, dust, heat, flies, and crappy food this is where you wanna be.

 

Lexington, Ne

 

Manning, SC

But it was an adventure getting here! Was on a run with 4 extra stops that ended in Flint, MI. "Beep" "after you get the two Louisville loads go meet xxxxx at Pendleton, KY. Swap loads, go back to two places I visited yesterday and end up at Charleston, SC.

But before I get there I get my first DOT 1 inspection. No ticket but I missed a light on the back of my tractor, had one axle nearly over the limit of stroke and had a trailer inspection that died in April. DOT Cop either did not notice trailer ins or since it passed all his tests he didn't mention it.

Was at Manning last night. Today had to run (with brakes still not right) to Columbus for the parts and run them back here so the T/A mech could put on the parts.

Got the trailer DOT'd too.

Was 4:53PM CST and I typed "it would not hurt my feelings if the Qualcomm does not sound off before 0600". This driver manager COMMUNICATES! He says so you want your PTA in the AM and I say yes please. He finally says "anytime".

DOT cop was about as nice a guy as I could have gotten for my first.

My logbook barely got looked at it's so good!

 

OH!.....Gee, Golly, Gosh!

Would you look at the time....I gotta go to bed now so's I can get up all bright and shiney to go truckin' tomorrow morning!

Man"O"Man, I was lookin' forward to comin' on over and gettin' under that truck with you too so's I could lend a hand and give you the benefit of my vast mechanical knowledge!

 

Hey, Les, I believe BW9 is absolutely heartbroken he couldn't make it.

 

Dangit! Now I have to find another sucker, oh I mean really smart mechanic guy to strap to the enderside and listen for the whinning while I go down the road.

WHeres Redd again??
