Melton, Whatcher 20

probably was. but 3am? ####

im at petro bordentown, nj after unloading called OR about the coolant issue and a tire, so they sent me here. got a preplan for pa to mi but doesnt look like im goin to make it. at least this petro wasnt too busy in the shop, pulled me in soon as i told them the problem

 

made it to shipper in gilbertsville pa. o/n parking and a market place less than half a mile away. dropped trailer and.bought some food. couldnt get my coolant issue fixed, have to go to a dealer (bad egr). got tire replaced. finally got here and was told it was changed to tomorrow pickup and they have no paperwork since they were told i wasnt coming...

not even going to try to make sense of it. guy said he can load me in 10 mins but no paperwork so doesnt know what im picking up.


could i get detention for this? or what do you guys suggest i do

 

Look for 7792 tomorrow, I'll be there around 12 or 1, gonna try and get them to fix truck after all is done. Sitting at the Jay in waco. I hate wind, got a load at Western extrusion and my god that was the worst tarp experience in long time.

 

Be tall stocky guy with beard and shaved head.

 

Y'all too talkative. Got my fuel tanks, leaks, inverter, headache rack and got a new 5th wheel while in Laredo. Finally got my sprinter van load to go to Iowa so a good run. Made it to Carl's corner about 830 I was too tired to go on so here I am til morning.

 

right?

supposed to deliver yesterday. was turned away for this morning.
on a university campus. sitting here with a million miler with an od load. my appt was for 1030, well their crane was late and was told at least 2 hour wait. supposed to be two other melton drivers here but they havent shown up yet.

i was told ill get an extra $210 for the crane being late. well see if i get any detention outta it.
had a preplan before i got here for laredo, but now its cancelled because of the.late crane

 

ended up sitting close to 6 hours before i got unloaded.
and they didnt even use the crane to unload me!

after unloading went back to the t/s i was at yesterday. million miler i unloaded with is also here. hopefully tomorrow i can get that load back to laredo, i wouldnt mind that

what a waste of a week. 750 miles and its friday already

 

My wife says I talk too much and to anything, I'm outside Kansas City heading to forest city Iowa in morning. 5 hour drive but they gave me load late Wednesday so whatever. I think it's called peculiar the town I'm in.

 

Sitting on the side of the road in Louisville. No o/n parking, but I'm here for unload in the morning anyways. Hopefully I don't get a ticket or get told to leave.

I've had a lousy week. Only 1600 miles or so, so far. Load with an extra day on it that had a firm appointment and I spent a day waiting on the shop for absolutely no reason. Hopefully I get a nice weekend load tomorrow. And a walmart.... I'm desperately in need of a walmart

also, rumor going around that we are getting another 2-4 cent raise in the next 1-4 months. According to a driver that was on a round table conference call with Bob. He says the raise is already confirmed but no firm date for it to go into effect yet.
