Melton, Whatcher 20

Five open scales today, four in Florida, and 2 agriculture stations. Why don't I have prepass again?
Parked for the night in Ft Pierce.

 

Dropped the load from Hell this morning in Marietta, GA after getting it reworked yesterday. Spent the night at the consignee, so had a full complement of hours. Now have a light load going to La Crosse, WI.

 

Triletter I see some shingles or Alcoa in your future Monday. I don't know if we do Menards loads but their dc isn't to far away from La Crosse either.

I spent a year on Active Duty at Fort McCoy Wi and we partied in La Crosse every week. Nice little college town and I think they make Old Style beer there still.

 

Lots of good beer in WI. Craft beer, that is. Supposed to deliver on Fri so not sure about the weekend. Alcoa sounds interesting, but shingles are easy. Did dry van for Menards in Eau Clair so familiar with them. All good. Just keep me moving.

 

Unloaded at the airport in Ft Lauderdale waiting on new load.

 

Headed to Virginia for Monday. Think I'm going to do a drive by of the job site tomorrow and see if I can get unloaded. Either way I'm going to sit around Sunday.

 

Kicked the load off this morning and got a pre-plan about 30 min later for a no tarp load. Deadhead from La Crosse to Wausau area. Picked up 2 A/C units and a pallet with 5 smallish boxes on it. Total weight - 4250. Had to tarp it due them being painted white. Huh? They are going to sit out side for their entire life. What ever. Supposed to drop them off in Salt Lake City Monday morning. I think my fuel mileage ought to be pretty good for this trip given the weight and being tarped.

 

Nice load. This east coast is for the birds.

i had to tarp my plastic covered insulation that sits out in the rain in Florida. Easy load to tarp but while adjusting my tarp I cut it 6 inches on a sharp edge.

 

Still at home sitting on the couch sipping jack and coke with the wife. Life is good for a few more days.

 

Drove by the consignee for Monday delivery. It's a frozen warehouse being expanded. No place to park over there tomorrow night to say 14 on Monday.
