Return to ACT (American Central Transport)

I loaded in Defiance OH. . At John Manville..

I FINALLY got to drag a "newer" trailer. . I've been pulling 13 series trailers (ugh)..I thought, yes!.. I've loaded at Manville in Defiance several times and its always a quick live load. .

When I wrote the information down the address didn't sound familiar. . Sure enough I looked at my history and its a different address. . So I called just to verify it..

Yep, Your load is here and the trailer is loaded. .huh? Yes, it's a drop/hook..ugh!

I got there and gave trailer #2181 up and took 2001..

Ok not that old. . But not new.

I'm in Memphis at the Loves..I had the truck washed while enroute and had no more than set my brakes when a lady approached the truck. . She was walking a dog. . I thought, No freakin way is she going to solicit me with a dog. Lmao, she was looking for work for her husband polishing wheels.

First I said no ($30).. he said they were hungry and really needed work. . Would do them all for $20..ok, do it. They were nice people (Not the regular riff raff that's usually here)..I paid him $40.. He was a little shocked. Things have been good lately and its nice to have the ability to help people in need. Karma

 

I read what you wrote and "thought" You meant on TTR..

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to pull a reefer.. I've done it. . It's where I started. .

Middle of the night deliveries. . Dealing with grocery warehouses. . Paying lumpers thoroughly P me off! And always loaded to the gills.

I've heard the argument. . People will always need to eat. . Granted. . But I've never had a problem feeding my family and others. . Pulling a dry van.

 

I delivered in University Park IL and got a load picking up in Mt Sterling and delivering in Ardmore OK..230 empty miles and 646 loaded.

I stopped by the yard for my 30 min break and to run the truck thru the wash. .stupid bugs! (And a bird) I noticed the empty trucks starting to line the fence again. .I also noticed a lot of brand new 680's being inspected in the shop. I guess the 8000 series lease is popular.

Anybody else think the qual com is very annoying lately? Can't read them going down the road forces ya to find a safe place to pull over. . Then is some bs msg about phones etc.. get rolling And it CHIRPS again! A message correcting the previous message! UGH! And you have to check it. . If it's a load offering and you wait to long. . They take it away. (Well Mark always calls but I've had other drivers say they've lost loads)

Ok..I can breathe again. .

Be safe. . Already seeing a lot of boats and rv's out for the long weekend.
