Van Wyk Inc.

Saw one of our trucks with a damaged trailer today but didn't catch the number. He had a police escort limping along westbound towards Iowa 80 exit in Walcott. Enormous Hole drivers side rear corner of trailer was gone and there was still freight inside. Looks like someone hit him and since he was driving I'm assuming he was okay.

In in South Bend, IN for the night.

 

I am at the hotel in Sheldon.......gonna catch some sleep then off to storm lake for a load to jefferson WI....was hoping for a 34 so I can get some stuff done....but I did manage to accomplish getting and address in sheldon and an Iowa Driver licence.......... will look online for a more permanent place to live...then it will be some time off to go to florida and get my stuff....

Maybe if I am lucky I will be able to see little people in a couple days....

maybe I ran in to ya kev...I was in the black sprint shirt waiting on Mike....

 

Yes you did, I was here on the computer playing some game I'm sure. I am hoping they get my truck finished soon so I can get out of here...then again I may need to take a nap myself before driving. Not sure where they are going to send me yet. Probably back east, which would be right up my alley. I think I had so much stuff wrote up on my truck that they are just done with me here LOL. But apparently the check engine light has something to do with the exhaust system, so the guy is still working on that, and has been working on that since he brought it into the shop. As long as everything else gets fixed before I leave I will be a happy camper.

 

Yeah the guy here said that he was pulled over on the shoulder to check his tire, and apparently another truck side swiped him taking part of the trailer off. Just crazy, and he apparently has a load of milk on his truck, so that's no good especially since you don't want milk getting warm, unless you heat it up yourself. Good thing is the Driver is fine, just the trailer is apparently jacked up.

 

Apparently I'm the one everyone here is saying looks like a kid! I guess I don't look my age, which is a great thing. Maybe that's why I get strange looks when I pull into places or when I'm inside the truck stops. could be other reasons too, but who the hell knows, and quite frankly who the hell cares LOL

 

OH NOES!!!! and Holy ####!!!!
if it is what kev says it is he needs a new pair of pants ASAP!!! I know I would have stained my shorts!!! there are quite a few crazy ### drivers both in 4 and 18 wheel configs that run down 80.....and the road is getting more and more crowded....but hey free milk LOL

 

That dont sound good, its gettin crazy out here, i've seen more and more people out here (4 wheelers, big trucks and those crotch rockets, i witnessed one idiot last week flying along i 70 outside of st. Louie in the hammer lane, front wheel in the air, big truck on his tail, wtf??), no wonder people think i'm nuts for going to get the m/c license, my state requires for that new spyder anyways. Funny thing is, whenever i do mention buying one of those, the first thing i hear is, "man you gotta get a harley, everyone else has one!!", well, i've been on atv's since i was a kid, and i dreams of owning a street legal version of one of those machine for a loooong time,, so here's my chance. Besides, i'm into that kind of riding for me, i really dont believe in going for a certain over-hyped brand just because everyone else is.

 

in jefferson Wi getting to go home to see the kids after I am unloaded.....I am hooked to one of the brand new---and I mean NEW trailers...it was registered 9/26 and doesnt have a plate yet...... but the doors are all shiny and mirror like..... and the rims are sooooo pretty!!!


In other news...I still have yet to be able to spend a full night at the hotel so I can enjoy the free breakfest.....well that is since Notez and I started anyway.....LOL

 

That was me you said 'hi' to on your way out of Jefferson this morning, Mic. After we passed each other I spaced out and went straight to Purina, just down the street. I did have the good sense not to check in at Purina, just got to take a little scenic uturn.

Up to peshtigo after this to get home, then on to Oklahoma for Monday.

If you're out Sheldon way, or in the region today, there's a cold front coming through. It's pretty windy out there and not looking to let up until tomorrow at the earliest. Just a heads up!

 

Ps... peshtigo gets me loaded to go home. That's not where I live.
