Running with JCT, Part Deux

Well the Publix in Orlando sure are slow. I have 1 full pallet and 2 partial pallets that was coming off here. Been on their property for 5 1/2 hrs and still have yet to get my bills back. Sadly I will have just as much pain at 2nd stop good ole McLane.

 

I am here at the yard. Should have me a 2015 Cascadia with a 10spd transmission in the morning. It has 66k miles on it. So, it isn't even broken in yet.

 

You will like it soooooooooooo much better. Fuel economy, ride, mechanical issues, EVERYTHING.

 

Sitting at my 1st stop in Turlock then heading for my final stop in Stockton. Got a load going to Orlando, then I'm done for the year. All is well.

 

Good morning, wow looks like you guys really do keep moving. That's cool. If I may ask one more question. Buddy of mine said that my truck which has the California clean idle sticker on the hood needs a certificate to be valid. Would yall know what that's about. Still looking to make a jump over after the new year and again thank you to all for the helpful information.

 

Pretty sure the certificate would be with the owner's manual, but don't quote me. If you come over to JCT, you don't need to worry about idling cuz all our trucks have APUs.

 

Is that what it's for so you can idle. Oh I have my own truck was going to sign on there. Just wanted to make sure that everything was kosher before jumping over. I didn't want to get there to find out I can't drive through California. Thank you

 

Still here at the yard. Got at least another three hours til the truck is ready. In house Freightlinger is currently working on it. They are installing new S-cams on the truck. Apparently, there were issues with the ones that came installed from the factory.

There was a driver that got let go yesterday. The driver put the truck in the ditch and then drove the truck back to the yard. When asked what happened, they said that the brakes didn't work. But, yet, they managed to drive the truck back to the yard. When I heard that, I made the smart ### remark that putting the truck in the ditch made the brakes work again.

 

Well, how else do you explain the brakes working? Makes sense to me.

 

Got me a new trip going to my last state in the 48 plus Alaska and 3 providences in Canada. Getting to go to Maine. LoL Of all the times for them to send me up there. LoL
