Where Are You....continues........

ty TA for reserved parking
the TA in Roanoke Va is a miserable place
without reserved parking you might as well be in NJ

 

Dave... you are not here.... I am here. Sitting in a corner at the receiver, after delivery... not bothering anybody... waiting for next load assignment.... maybe another broker load. I don't like waiting for load assignments after deliveries, and then, when I get the load assignment, having to call broker to get all the info, directions etc, and then having to rush to customer.... and then having to plan the rest of my day on the go... Just saying.... If this waiting takes one more hr, I think will go to Pilot... it's only one mile from here. But much quieter here...

 

Lovely Laredo--Ain't I lucky? LOL--At a lovely little ####hole--real small no way to turn around w/my hood so just took 3-4 minutes carefully blindsiding into very tight door--nothing new--meanwhile local frt hand(& I use that term very loosely) acting all irritated like I held him up--after he jacks his daycab&45' trl around so tite-#### near blew the tires out--course kinda slowed down a little--gotta b careful yknow--hit the dock went inside--pulled bulkhead loadlocks down--watched em take the 3 plts off--come out--&wouldn't ya know--he's out here working up a sweat cussin at whoever will listen--w/his smashed passenger side mirror hang in off right about where his short ### truck tried to get in between 2 53' wagons--I'm heartsick for him I tell ya---just ####### heartsick!

 

Makes you want to buy Karma a beer, don't it?

 

Loading in Chino. There's been an F6F Hellcat flying over... that kind o' radial engine will get yer juices flowin'!

 

I was delivering in Oshkosh a few years ago, and a flight of four of them went over. Talk about sending chills down the spine! There is no other sound like that!

 

Kansas City, Kansas. Just picked my 1st load and ill be headed to Brighton, CO. Woohoooo!!!

 

That's where I'm at, CS. I'm not picking anything up except my ice pack and trying to take some of the swelling out of my knee.

I was able to hear the cars over at the KS Speedway when I got home. Sounded really cool.

 

My 12:00 CUTOFF was not ready until dispatch got the idiot to send the papers out.
At Air France a TSA person gave me a warning for not watching my truck like a hawk.
Number two was supposed to be a Peiican Case at FMC. But after waiting 45 minutes some things were wrong so I got two cartons instead.
Number three was drag the trailer down to Alvin.Pick up 6 pallets (really only 5) of Hazmat that went up to a place not too far from the office. Dropped and clear at 16:45. No more even a peep from dispatch so took the trailer back to the truckstop and got home 18:50
