Good Night From II

Good way to lose a lock ... I've had more than one cut off a trailer, to get me an mt.

 

Yeah, I saw locks (both kingpin and door locks) getting cut off at Jurupa Valley. I won't risk my lock. I'll carry seals in my pocket when I go walk a terminal yard looking for an empty and slap a seal on to hold a trailer long enough to come back and hook to it. Other than that I won't risk having to pay $40 for another door lock.

 

Management doesn't play at Jurupa Valley...I learned that quickly coming out of class.

Little America in Wyoming near Ft Bridger. Biggest freakin 75 cent ice cream cone I've ever had.

 

That's EXACTLY how I feel too. I won't put a foot in a terminal shower!!

 

I'm aware of that and if it would've taken a while I would just use a seal. In this instance they would have had maybe 6 minutes to make their move.

 

I Tcalled at the Decatur terminal last month. That place is a cluster. Loaded and very few empties scattered throughout their yard. After I drove through their loaded section, and what seemed like miles of red tags I found a new trailer in with all their intermodal trailers. I hooked to it, so no-one could take it, t-called, and sent a message to attach as soon as I walked back.

I hate that place so much.

 

jv terminal...not much new to report. still doing one trip a day for ross acct. after that, i call the trailer guy in pheonix and have him give me a trip to move these 99 series trrailers that ups rents from swift and move it to dropyard in adelanto. gives me at least 10 hrs for the day. my dl said we will be finished with ross end of march. still havent heard anything about this other dedicated acct yet.
