Good night from...

4 hrs of sitting at shipper and finally hit a dock. have 5 hrs left on 14, so lets see how long it takes to get loaded. wont say the place i'm at till i get it off loaded weds

 

Wow. Sounds like they are saying they found the problem quickly and it was obvious. If so then if you had the truck in Swift shops they should have found it as well? If any back revenue should be granted then I hope some of that is coming your way.

Perhaps you've already said it, but what were the symptoms all this time?

 

Wolfy ... good luck ... that fleet is perfect for you.

 

love t/s in yuma az. got here with 2 minutes to spare. parking is pretty slim here bweing so late. i also follwed another driver in and saw i was going wrong way. looked like a one way, so went foward and did a uturn and another driver came over the radio and asked if i wanted his spot. said heck yeah lol

 

well I sat and talked with the DM who runs the target fleet for over a hour, he told me to think about it overnight and talk with the wife then let him know by noon tomorrow if I want it or not so he knows if he needs to keep searching for someone so its mine if I want it. He also said I can begin as early as tomorrow or I can take a couple days then start and also said im replacing a driver so I wont be an "add on" I will get home weekly for 34's and he said sometimes I can stop for the night at home if I take loads to Palmdale or Lancaster on the way back and if I move back to Bakersfield then I can be home every single night which will be a plan later but for now I will have a sleeper. Will call in the morning and tell him I want it but wont be able to start until the next day because it looks like im stuck in Mira Loma for a Bservice, guy told me they wont even get to my truck until late tomorrow since there is a backup of trucks, this next check is going to be small since I took the 4 days off and then had to come here so lost another half day worth of miles and then tomorrow if I cant get anything hauled at all. I wish I could do a bservice at a TA

Tonight there was a traffic jam in Santa Clarita and during the stop and go my check engine light came on and then I lost all power, I could not gain speed and go above 1200 RPM, I was in the passing lane so I had to fight the jam to get over and then I got onto the shoulder shut the truck off and put my triangles out. called onroad and they told me to try and do a regen since all they can do is tow me, turn the key on and the check engine light was gone, onroad told me to try and drive again. I left the truck off for a few more minutes and then packed up my triangles and hit the road with no further issues, anyone ever have this happen? If so what was the cause?

 

Just a suggestion...might not want to admit to falsifying logs on a public forum.....

 

Getting unloaded in beautiful Tampa. A gorgeous 75 and sunny here. Popped open the doors to find all the product sitting on the floor, not on pallets. Never seen that before but nobody seems phased so I guess it's not totally unheard of. Tried switching my home terminal to Ocala and was told they are full and have more drivers per DM than any other terminal on the East Coast. So, no go there but to check again after the first of the year.

 

Constant Check Engine lite and constantly doing regens. It was starting a regen but not actually completely finishing. It was in PHX last week to have a Cummins specialist look at it and I guess that it did not happen. It has been mostly at Kenworth/Volvo cummins repair facility. This is the first time that I took it to a Cummins repair facility. It is also something called a valve seal/stem that is letting the oil leak into the DEF/DPF. I have also heard that the DEF lines might need replacing. I will ask about that when I get back, also something about a possible recall on the thermostat.

 

Can't say I'm not staying busy. Back to back preplans that includes a 350 mile deadhead out of Florida. Must be slow down here.

 

LOL...Ocala REALLY doesn't want you!
