Parked Here for the Night

I already knows me an you is rootn fer the same side Pete

 

LOL, don't really care who wins. Learned a loooong time and lots of $$$ ago, ya always bet with ur wallet, not ur heart !!!

 

Yeah... problem is, I told doctor that he would have to scan those forms in order to send via email... or fax them... He chose the fax... And my co. asked for the originals for "legal purpose"... whatever that means....

 

That looks AWFUL.... Worse than here in Rhode Island... Not sure how it's going to be here tomorrow though... they are expecting another big snow storm tomorrow...

 

what is in NE today is heading towards you
10-16 inches in Chicago

 

No, no, no... That's not what I said... If our APUs quit, we idle as needed... And co. makes fixing that a priority... ASAP... But if the temp hits zero, we can idle even if APU is working...

I had problem with APU once in this co. and they told me I could idle if I needed but to get it fixed right away....
Never got cold in this truck.... I like HEAT.... you know.... it's almost 80F in here right now...

 

So... I delivered my load at this place today...




Dead end street in a residential area in Providence, RI...
Piles and piles of snow everywhere.... Receiver said they would have someone to stop traffic so I could make left turn to their narrow street...
Yeah.... right... There were some guys waiting for me at the corner but didn't do a darn thing...
I had to stop traffic with truck... Piles of snow in the median, freaking poles in the way... car parked on the right curb... Had to run over big pile of snow with trailer and rubbed front right bumper on another big pile of snow entering the street and missed the pole on the driver's side by a few inches...

And this was the entrance to their yard...



But the dock was at the end of an alley to the left of the yard...
Tried to go around that freaking blue barrel in the middle of the yard (see red circle)... but there was not enough room because of the cars parked there and the piles of snow...
Tried to make the loop inside the yard and position the back of the trailer facing the alley but with all the piles of snow and the barrel... not possible...
Pulled up to the gate and tried to do a blind side to the alley but would always get too close to the f barrel... there was a lot more snow around that barrel than it shows in the picture...
So, I asked the gentleman to get some guys with shovels and remove some to that snow... And he stood there looking at me...
I got mad.... so I grabbed my shovel and started shoveling the snow... Then, he called the guys and they started shoveling the snow too...
After almost one hr going back and forth with the truck, trying not to get stuck or not hit the vehicles or the barrel, I was able to back thru the ice covered alley to the dock in the back of the building...
DEFINITELY I am not good figuring out how to maneuver in difficult places...

Was very happy to leave that place... This was the exit...



No picture of the intersection ahead... that was a challenge to get in and to get out without hitting the poles in the medians...

If one day I leave this co., one of the main reasons will be the places we go...

Now I am comfortably parked back at TA in RI... a different parking spot though...



Waiting for my dsp tomorrow... and the snow storm that is coming...
