JJ's Place

well, hopefully it won't be to bad during this learning curve.

did some equipment shopping yesterday. soon as the rian blows over. have to rearrage the truck again. and figure out how i'm going to mount my lights on the trailer for them wide loads. harbor fright had em for $20. little smaller then pilot but since they were on sale at pilot i bought 2. MAGNETIC. but apparently the trailer isn't made of actual metal.

best to buy as much as i can afford as there's no sales tax and we get for company cost. which is 66% cheaper then out on the road. picked me up 6 more straps for $11 each.

on another note. the truck still has ALL it's manuals. including the furnace which is now working. BOO YAHHHHH. although it has 2 codes which i cleared out and hope don't come back.

hoping comdata hurries up with my checking account. $.50 cents a transaction. did some walmart shopping and cash out.
i even got whacked for declined transaction. wrong pin.

 

so this lady from crete comes rolling. not bad looking. and with a BIG dog.

she parked her truck, went in to shower. and left. but when she came back out.


HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA. with her country bumpkin hat and makeup.

i don't see the reason for just a shower stop though. considering the 14 can't be stopped. at least stay awhile and let's chat. SHEESH.

 

top ramen.

it's what's for dinner.

 

hey hey hey. we got the installed kenworth gps working. powered by lowrance.

not that anyone is listening anyways. since i'm the ONLY ONE TYPING AROUND HERE.

 

around here


(couldn't resist )

 

I always read just don't always have time to reply!

In MI looking for something back in my area lol.

 

guess i can't pick up that load i had booked anyways. my offtrack is too high. so i can't even get a trip permit for that backroad.

so back to the looking board

 

2 1/2 hours to strap. Soon as the wind stops. I can tarp the thing.

 

got lucky and didn't have to tarp. but i did have to roll the one up. PITA with the wind. but hey. it's still brand spanking new and the other is still in it's wrapping.

in bozeman montana now.

and i think i saw a rugerfan heading westbound with a heavy haul trailer.

 

I was in Flint this morning and made it to my last two drops in North Canton OH. I finished off my 23 drop run. This is a record for me in stops. At least I only have to swing two doors and no tarps and straps involved. I will have to do a 34hr reset before I can pick up the next load. I have a load from Canton to WI and than a beer load back home.
