Parked Here for the Night

Get pictures!!

 

I was up at 230am and at sysco in College Park Ga early... 7a...had a 9a appointment. Got a door right away.... then waited and waited...finally at 11a they are done...which was my appojntmemt time 45 minutes away... accross Atlanta... WTF dispatcher????

Got here at 1215 and here I sit.... will run out of hrs before they get me loaded... Im at a door, but not even started to load me yet...

And my inverter stopped working.....

And Im cranky

But I didnt drop my trailer down an icy bank!!! Lol could be worse....and I got till 9a. Friday to get to St Peters, Mo.....

 

Youre nearing my territory... Lol

And yeah, not much worse than dropping your trailer like that.

 

I wish I had. I was on the scale scaling out empty.

It it was getting ugly. He was behind me coming in. Guy had already given the gaurd a bunch of #### coming in. Came in a clearly marked gate onto the scale in the wrong direction and couldn't understand why they wouldn't weigh him and out came the attitude. Just went downhill from there.

I got out of there before things really got out of hand lol 6 miles to my pickup. Thank god it's a preload I've had enough swapping on ice for one week. One more time in Arcadia and then I'm headed back south where I belong

 

Little TS in Altus, Oklahoma , got to the receiver about 1:30 am last night after sitting on the side of 635 in DFW for 6 hours with a blown coolant line. They let me get a door as soon as I got there and woke me up about 5 am to open em up and back in, finished my 10 out in their dropyard, was able to sneak over here without starting my clock. Now Im doing the call the shipper in Elk City dance every couple of hours till my loads ready. This one is headed out to the Wal Mart DC in Sparks, NV....just know this will time out to have me going through Amarillo in time for the roads to get nasty. Maybe just maybe I can get back to something of a sleep schedule on this run.

 

Hey Red, I'm in your old stomping grounds. At the Pilot in Newnan for a bit. Need me a shower and a bite and lay my head down for a power nap then after dark head over to the cons in Griffin and spend the night on their property for a 0900 offload.

 

Back in the RGV....now finally loadin for home...well actually load goin Ta Jersey....but alas I will not be accompaning it the last few hours of its journey.....lol

 

We decided to hunker down at the TA Russell,IL. Fueled and was gonna try to make it to the street outside the customer. But street littered with no parking signs via (streetview). Not like that has stopped me before. Just not enough hours to back track just in case some rent a cop Barnie Fife wannabe wanted me to get to stepping.

Already planned on a load picking up in Hobart, In with a drop in Omaha and one in Cheyenne. Will be interesting if I can pull this off with my hours and their appointment times, but a super trucker will do what it do. Bonjour!!

 

85 and sunny in Ontario, CA. Would like an APU right about now.

Line 5 and heading north after this to my binky of fog. Taking a few days in the rocking chair so I can get paperwork caught up after firing the accountant.....

 

i finally got loaded here outside Atlanta. Had 5 minutes left on my 14 and made it to a Wilco Hess here in Villa Rica... Got a shower and some food... Gonna eat and hit the sack before too long. I guess the fastest way to 75 north is back towards Atlanta and up 285... Wanna get that leg done early....

Atlanta is is becoming my least favorite city to come to... People just drive like clueless idiots.... I'll take Chicago anyday....
