PRIME drivers...What's your 20?

I don't mean to preach, but if one is leasing and they need to grab cash from a trip that won't be in a settlement for a week - you're running way too close to the financial line. IMO, you have to separate your personal and business finances, and you just have to create a cash cushion to smooth out the money flow and be successful in the long run. Freight is good right now, but the yearly cycle is about to kick in after July 4th - it slows down a lot until summer produce starts. Company guys should take heed of this too - you're not insulated from the freight cycle by employment.

Back on topic... bad mojo floating around the PEElot in Milford CT this AM. Local driver with two cops at the stop light, and a 4-wheeler with the front end severely molested. And to top that off, one of our guys dragged a trailer across the right front of a Knight tractor... tow truck in attendance to get it off. Oi Vey! A DOT-reportable in the truckstop parking lot!

Rocky Hill CT at my 90.

 

Just saw a bobtail sittin in the Red Lobster in Pueblo, Co. Must be waitin on a load from Trane.

 

Sitting at walcott, ia at iowa 80 114 miles away from 90

 

Well, made it to xt 40 on I-70 in Utah, did a walk around as always while fueling, found a puddle under the radaitor . Popped the hood, hmm nothing leaking I could see, crawled under, yep, drips coming off, down about a gallon since pre-trip 60 miles ago. So here I sit, waiting to get repowered so I can limp up to SLC to go in the shop. Wave as u go by folks. Be safe

 

petro ok city

 

Keep the BAD MOJO there!
Finally got my truck...not the condo I was hopin' for, but nonetheless, after MUCH adieu...time to roll out of SPRIMO to...well the northeast I am Hoping

 

We want pictures!

 

Exit 18 I70 Illinios at the Pilot. Not happy. Droppe this afternoon got another load... 2425 miles, 4 drops, ending in Cali... Second straight trip over 2000 miles. And thats not including the deadhead miles. Doubt I can pull this off, but well see. Not goin to have a full clock at least most of the days.

 

I know you can do it. Just keep driving till the last 5 minutes.

Mojave Desert on I40. Fred is driving, doing a great job at night driving and not too shabby at backing. Should get to the drop lot in Stockton around 5 AM. We will see if he knows the procedures to drop a loaded trailer.....

 

O ya. And I need more work done to my truck. Vorad still freaks out, I need to swing by Springfield to get a few things, and my windshield leaks. Goin to be another long trip across all time zones... Will be in the yard tomorrow to handle some business. Then onward. I really hope this gets repowered.
