melton 2014 update

Up to and including turn your head and cough.

 

The standard stuff plus lifting tarps. At sunnyvale, we had to lift 3 tarps. Light tarp up on to sholder, medium tarp up to chest and heavy tarp up onto counter. About 60,80 and 100 lb tarps.

 

At Masury we had to stand on one foot for like 30 sec. and then the other. It's a balance thing. Have heard that a couple of people have had issues. It is simple, but a bit of practice won't hurt if you need it. lol

 

Ok on my way to Alabama for my training. I think all things will go well and I'll be back on the road soon. Maybe this time after training I don't have to fly to recover a truck. That was not a good start.

 

You might have to. Just depends on what they got at the Birmingham terminal which is usually slim.

 

Wow. ... Ok it is what it is. The last recovery was an angry driver. The inside of that truck OMG.

 

So. I picked up a load in Laredo. I told Joe I didn't think it was the right product. They assured me it was. I got to Amarillo today and got a qc to stop. So I guess they mixed loads up and the one I was suppose to have got delivered to Houston. So now I am on my way to Houston to deliver this and pick up what I was suppose to have then head to Portland Oregon. 3600 miles for the week when I deliver

 

That's a case of "you're just a driver, you don't know what you're talking about."

 

I wish I could get those kinds of miles here.

 

So now I get to Houston for the unload/reload and they don't have the equipment to do it til tomorrow morning. This has turned out to be a pain.
