Good night from...

Eaton, OH at the TA.

Got a call from Swift just after I delivered my last load asking if I could help out on a P&G account.
His normal driver is running out of hours, so he wants me to make the run tomorrow night.
It'll be 23 hours sitting here because I pick up the load at 2230, here at the TA.
Park my truck here and get in their truck. No drop/hook or loading, just get in and drive.
Around 225 miles to destination, then turn around and bring a load back here.

 

How many hours did he have so far?

 

Dang. Some people just doesn't learn. About te spider gear. As Long as nobody was doing a one wheel peal, or dounts with that axle the spider doesn't get abuse. The spider gears don't do anything going down the road unless you are spinning. Does the truck still have a warranty?

 

He had 100 hours at the time that he came off. He is off the truck. As far as the rear end, found water in the oil. No warranty. I had a bad breather valve and did not catch it soon enough.

 

finishing up my 10 at pilot ex 185 just west of flagstaff. p/u tcall sams club here in mira loma and delivered it to sams club store in prescott valley az. got there at approx. 2200 and was unloaded pretty quick. still had 3 hrs left, so drove over to 5 flagstaff az for the final.got here about 2300 and took about hour to unload. just had enough time to get to pilot before hours were up

 

That sucks about the water

 

You found a parking spot at the Belmont Pilot after 2300???? ... Go buy some lottery tickets, your time as truck driver is soon to be over.

Just outside of Nashville ... on my way to Laredo, drop at the forwarding agent Monday morning, then a pick up a short hop to San Antonio to unload Tuesday AM.

 

it was around 3 am when i got there. should've stopped at little america,but when i looked at it from freeway,looked small.went to weigh this load i picked up at purina and saw how big it was actually.

 

got this load picked up in flagstaff az gpoing to woodland ca. suppose to be there at 1200 sunday. sitting here at the loves next to lake havesu az. dang it hot. should've stayed in flagstaff lol. got about 590 miles to go, so i'll run as much of it tomorrow and see if i can find parking close to final

 

btw...when i weigh this heavy load(79890 total) it was 11800 steers, 34060 drives, and 33900 trailer. had 3/4 tank of fuel. so i figured i burn the fuel before i hit the scales at the border. decided to reweigh again at this loves and now it weighs 11700 steers,34140 drives, and 34060 trailer tandems. what gives? how does it gain weight lol?
