Where is everyone?

Back at the Motel 6 in Eloy. Got loaded, stopped at the TA to check the scales, cause I knew I am really, really close on the drives. Freaking coolant running out like the Mississippi! Got a hole in the middle of my radiator. They pulled it and will send it to the local radiator shop, in the morning. Met up with Bayou Hotshot. He's a big ol' boy! Makes me look short (which I ain't all that tall). So much for my Friday drop in San Antonio.

 

#### that bites. At least you were at the trkstp. and not in the middle of no where..
Hope they get you up and running in good time.
How old is the rad?

 

Dang if I know! It was in there when we bought the truck in June of '99.

 

Ok, so it has had a long life then...

 

Not long enough! Heck the truck is only 29 years old.

 

Sounds like a buddy of mine who wont buy anything not mechanical.

 

im sorry that place is a hell hole to get fuel at

 

sitting in niota tn with my 2 stopper load of brass goin to littleton nh and some plastic stuff called para-web not sure what its for but i got 5 pallets of them going to NJ and they suck!!!!! each roll is about 2 inches wide and a foot in diameter and they are stacked about 6 ft high wrapped in seran (sp) wrap 4 pallets on the bottom deck in the back and 1 on the top deck for weight reasons each pallet is about 2500lbs about 6 stacks to a pallet

i got 2 straps over the one pallet on the top deck crossed on the top to hold the corner stacks in place and a 2 inch wrapped around the whole thing and then tarped....

well all day today i had to keep stopping to check the freaking things in the rain because the straps kept loosening up on me and so far everything was good. well i get here and for a quick snack and i look at the front pallet and the whole thing is leaning hard toward the back so i untarp and to my disgust both straps came loose and the whole friggen pallet is leaning ready to fall over the only way to fix it that i can see is completly tear down the pallet and restack it (if i can find another pallet i'll stack it shorter) but thats a job for tommorow and a job i gonna make sure i get paid for it. every flatbedder that walked by couldent belive they put this load on a SD/flat in the first place that it should of went on a dry van

i'll put pics up in the am when theres some day light i'm wore the hell out

 

Hope you're able to get it corrected without to much more hassles.
Oh and no rain..

 

i hope so to but knowing my luck an arc will float by with everyone and everything on it float by laughing
