Good Night From II

My Llc leased the truck and my co-driver is now a 50% owner of my company. But according to swift my name is seat 1. This kind of makes it easier to get a 2nd truck in the future because my co-driver can do it in his name "doing business as" H&H remodeling. I know kinda wierd name for a trucking company but I had a remodeling company before and I kept it active because it was very inexpsensive to keep it around and you never know when a Llc can come in handy.

 

At the Greer, SC terminal, waiting in the prequal lane. Came back from hometime this morning to find an oil leak and my a/c has crapped out. Also have a message that I am 1050 miles from a 50,000 mile service being due or I will be put on hold. Guess I will get that done too. Looks like another night at the house tonight.

 

pueblo co. at the loves t/s for the night. p/u load in pueblo tomorrow at 1415 and goes to south jordan ut at 1900 thurs

 

kinda goofed. had a preplan that picked up at same place in pueblo for a 2200 p/u and delivered in prewitt nm for a 2200 weds del. mac 9 saying i p/u at 0900 weds. morning. didnt work. thought it would since it was already loaded. shouldve just accepted it as is and took my ten after picking it up. oh well. had thought of those 2 options and i picked the wrong one.

 

Albuquerky NM.

I was asked to help out locally here, swapping rejected trailers at General Mills.
There were 3 trailers that needed to be swapped, but I only ended up doing 1.
After the first one was completed I was told I would have to contact the guy I was doing it for via QC to get me attached to the next mt trailer.
Well, he never answered my messages until it was too late to do another swap. My 14 ran out.
I could have done all 3 if... if... if only certain people would respond to messages, or if certain others had the authority to simply attach me to a trailer.
Seems I was the victim of an inefficient system.
Still, I'll be paid the $12 per hour I was promised for all the time I put in.

I pick up my next load 3.5 miles from here in the morning, headed to Ft. Worth, TX.

 

finally got a chance to do some work to my cars today, for $57 I was able to change the plugs on both cars, one air filter plus got a new spark plug socket and extension. Check engine light on my wifes car has been on and when I connected to my obd computer it showed misfires in both 3rd and 4th chamber, when I removed those spark plugs I could see why and the plugs on my car didnt look much better. I was worried about coils being damaged since these newer cars have a dang coil pack per cylinder and they are $104 each, one expensive replacement tune up but after taking a long drive its running much better with no hesitation so I think I lucked out. Will probably do the fuel filters and stuff next week and slowly get everything replaced, I know my one car has 212k miles and it hasnt been done yet.

Tomorrow going to drop my daughter off at school then going to go shooting with a buddy since he wants me to try out his AR before I build one myself and his 9mm pistol then might have a nice bbq and a few drinks to relax before heading back to work Thursday.

 

Still at home, I was planning on heading out tomorrow, and this same flu that I have been fighting hit again, and this time, instead of heading back out and pushing it, staying home. So sick of Cranberry juice and Honey and ginseng green tea right now. I have this feeling that there is somthing in my home. Also, I need a VACATION. So burned out. Twice in one week, wake up and not know where I am.

 

heading back to work today, will be going to a local store then Riverbank and shut down in Lathrop to attempt that sim class again tomorrow.
It has been a nice 3 days off, yesterday had a guys day with my friend taking me out to shoot his guns, then went to a gun store to get ideas of what I want to buy/build soon and then had a bbq and drank most of the night. I sure needed that relaxed day, its been a long time since I got to do something like that, he was going fishing this morning but I turned it down since I needed to sleep in and have enough sleep to drive tonight.

 

slc terminal. dropped the target load at the target in south jordan ut. thought it was a live unload. when i called dl, he said it was a drop. so ran in and got the manager to break the seal. then he had me move an emty over to the middle dock, drop my loaded in that spot. then grabbed another mt that was on the other end. came here sincwe truck needed a 90 day bit service. doing laundry and figure out what to eat lol

 

Flying J in Evansdale, IA. Got sent a ppl on the way wanting me to drive 253 empty miles for a 300 mile hazmat load, then another for 91 Dh for 180 loaded. I hope I'm not stuck here now.
