Roehl Driver Check In

At the Loves in Dwight, IL. So I had a relay that was going to take me to Appleton after I delivered this morning but the Driver didn't get the message and drove right on by Oak Creek. Lol! So they had me take another load to a Driver out of Mogadore here. He had a load going to Green Bay. So I will have 8hrs and 50mins to get this to GP and get it dropped then go pick up somewhere in Green Bay and get it relayed to Appleton.

 

I have company! Just back from my walk and have a roehl neighbor! Hes in his sleeper so i will leave him alone. I saw him while out on my walk..no idea how he found me here. If he has a delivery for tomorrow he took a strange route in.

Also, while fueling at gary, a driver wS telling the pump monitor guy that his trailer needed a sticker..just too crazy..

 

Not really that crazy. I had a couple, in the winter they don't stick in the cold and fall off.

 

Ill be here. So far anyways. We've already lost 2 people.

 

That hair follicle test is a killer...dumb a--es

 

I was going to grab a shower in Gary last night, but walking in was greeted by signs tacked up everywhere saying NO HOT WATER. I ran the water from the sink over my hands to see how cold a "brisk" shower would be...OMG it was so cold my hands started hurting. Decided I didn't need a shower THAT badly. At Petro I-65 KY exit 86 tonight, where I had a nice, hot shower.

Man was it windy going down I-65 today, I am hauling a shotgun-loaded coil that is acting like a sail (one of the reasons I prefer to haul coils suicide when possible)...it is a relay load that was tarped with a bunch of the "reused innertube" bungees, and three of those actually broke because the headwind was so strong. Wow.

 

I grabed a shotgun coil relay out of gary today as well. Yep 65 was fun, i cut across on 74 that was better. I had to.fix the tarp job twice should of just redid it my way.

 

So I get up nice and early to grab relay load. Due in Jersey tomorrow 0700, flippin glad hand lock on it. So have to wait til 0500 for maint, it needs tires. I AM NOT GOING TO GET HIT FOR LATE LOAD ON THIS!! Haven't even made loaded call, never do until everything is good to go and I'm am going to take off.

 

That sucks

 

Did you guys have class today? I got here only to find out they are on emergency power. Operations has power but the shop doesn't. Oh well it is what is. At least I am not stuck in Gary. Lol!
