Lonestar Transportation drivers.. Check in!

Ran one of our new carrier accounts to pooler, ga then longs, sc. Not too bad of a load over all... just anal when it cokes to securing them... now im under skidsteers heading for Irving, FT Worth and Waco.

 

Fun Fun...
35 from FT worth to south of San Antonio gotta be the worst stretch of road in the US next to 65 from Indy to Chicago... good luck

 

copper load got interrupted, was just past 35W on I-20 in Dallas headed east when I got a message to call in, bring load to yard someone else is gonna repower, got his load of skid steers and taking them to Austin and Waco then headed to Gainesville for Friday morning. More blade training I guess.

 

Heading down to the Pharr yard this afternoon to get my load going to Aurora and I see about 6 LST trucks all with blades sitting just south of Rivera on 77. That project looks to be slow moving.

 

The blades are not going to work out it looks like, long story behind that but after considering it its probably for best anyway. Repowered a load of transformers in Fort Worth and taking those to Tucson after one stop off in San Angelo today, will be home a day earlier than I asked to be so thats cool.

 

Well made it through orientation and to Houston. Now just a wait til monday morning

 

Its not too bad once you get past Waco. But 35W through FT Worth is horrible... unless its the middle of the night. Most times your better off just taking 820 around.

Well, got those skidsteers off, then was put on a small oversize going right back up to Douglas, WY... but that got pulled from me, so now im under backhoes going to meridian, ID

 

Hey guys...Lookin into LST. How hard do you think it is to get home if i live in western NY (I86 and I390), Not a big home-time Nazi or anything, i'm usually out 2-3 months at a time. Just wondering how they are about east coast peeps

 

If you truly stay out 2-3 months, they're going to love you here. They'll work with you to get you home by either deadheading you a fairly good distance to get home or repowering a load with another driver. I've deadheaded some 400 miles before to get home.

 

yup we got lots of stuff going to PA as well, deadhead from there no problem.
