Where is everyone?

I rolled into Asheboro, North Carolina this afternoon. At the hotel till friday morning when they unload me. Guy at the jobsite said "You are a day and a half early". I said "Would you rather have me a day and a half late?"

 

Sitting in Eloy, AZ waiting for the shop to finish replacing my cracked brake drum.... Not very happy.

 

Bedding down at the TA in oklahoma city at the 140 yard stick. Loading up a load goin to the east coast and delivering on monday. gonna stop by the house on the way for a day or so, prolly grab some blood pressure meds, cause going out to the east coast, i'm gonna need them.lol.....

 

Back on the Indian reservation between Vegas and Mesquite. Good news is it's only 103

 

Owner operators, bringing money in the front door with a teaspoon and throwing it out the back door with a snow shovel.

 

JD Dubuque & Davenport just came off 2 week shutdown. When volumes are low the bulk of the freight goes to those with he lowest rate. If you didn't get any loads, at least you can take solace in the fact that your company isn't the cheapest.

 

Smithway had a fleet of trucks that pulled RGNs for years. They hauled Challengers and sprayers for Agco out of Jackson, MN. I would assume that this fleet survived the takeover by Western.

 

Well, $1,200 later and the trucks back on the road. 1 cracke brake drum, and the other was paper thin. So I had them do both drums an pads plus wheel seals. Glad I did because one of the axle nuts was only hand tight.

 

That drum looks like it got really hot

 

Better watch that reefer when it comes drug test time
