Lonestar Transportation drivers.. Check in!

Yeah I've seen a lot of nasty photos of pipes getting loose in an accident or something so I wanted to be sure haha

 

Well plans changed. I'm headed to meet a driver in Dothan, AL to swap trailers then ill deadhead home. This was a great surprise this morning

 

Well the morning was going great and got to the repower point, swapped trailers only to find on one of my drive tires a huge chunk of rubber is missing. I suspect it's from a rest area in Mississippi that had some potholes in it. Probably hit a piece of rebar or something. Gotta head to Panama City to get it fixed in the morning then deadhead home. I shoulda asked maintenance about tire shops in Jacksonville. Closer to my home.

Here's the super single

 

Back in the US with a load going to Dallas that doesn't deliver till Monday and its 1600 miles. Just as well, got to get the apu serviced yet again on the way.

 

Had a load going to Canada that I would pickup after delivering in Arkansas City, KS tomorrow, but was taken off of it because my truck needs to be serviced. Man I was looking forward to my first Canada trip.

 

good luck bro, don't blame ya these new regs are ridiculous, let me know how the local thing works out for you.

 

Good luck with the new gig man. Can't blame you either. I'm just waiting for my chance to do the same. These regulations aren't for me.

 

Just food for thought


Amendment to Reverse HOS Bill On The Table


Well, the good news is that someone in the Congress finally heard that many drivers and companies are unhappy with the new HOS rules. An amendment to a transportation bill was proposed that could have reversed the HOS rules immediately and let truckers get back to their old schedules. The bad news is that there will be no time to talk about the amendment before the August vacation. The other bad news is that once they return from their August vacation, members of Congress will only be working for nine days in September... Read the full story here.
