Parked Here for the Night

I may have to give a fellow Muñoz driver a ride home. Dispatch called me and said that we have a broke down truck at the Volvo shop in Odessa and if no other truck rolls through town before I leave, to pick him up and bring him home.

 

push up the flag $1.40 first mile
$.30 every mile there after
i know those prices are out of date for a taxi

 

I'll be shocked if they haven't found him a ride back yetm

 

Hey... I LOVE that WM in Demopolis... It's small and quiet... and nobody bothers...

 

Delivered this morning in south Houston, then pick up another load somewhere nearby and now going to co. terminal in OKC for truck pm and drop this loaded trailer for another driver that will take it to ID...
And... as I suspected, the screw or plug that was stuck in one of the trailer tires caused almost all the air to escape... And as I was putting some air in it, the air pushed the thing out and ALL the air too... Now tire is lose on the rim... Good thing I am here...



About 8 miles from TA in Dallas... and will have this fixed as soon as I finish my 10 hr break..

Only pain is that will arrive at TA at 2 am... and will have to wait till who knows what time to get it fixed... and probably there will be no place to park till they have an empty bay for me...
Need to have this fixed asap cause other driver will need this trailer tomorrow morning... he will have a lot of miles to run...

This Coyote broker... I called them this morning after loaded and gave them all the info they needed... now it's the second Coyote rep that calls me to know if I was loaded... C'mon, I told them, don't you guys have that info in your system already? Next time, I'll not answer...

 

I book my own loads and unfortunately happens sometimes, not only Coyote...

 

Well... let them call... I am not answering any more... Actually, other driver will take this load tomorrow and then HE will answer them...

 

Well, things was goin too smooth apparently. Franklin Ky for the evening. U-joint going bad and taking the yoke with it. Found a shop in Bowling Green that says can fix it in the AM, so now be delivering WV Sunday night. Gotta love it! Check y'all in a bit!

 

Parked at the house right at 2000 miles since Wednesday I have had enough for the week. Gotta get my grain buggy hooked up for next week. It needs a flat fixed and one new tire plus what ever else I can find

 

Loves in Kingman, AZ ..why I picked the loves...don't ask me. Off to drop somewhere of the 210 tomorrow morning..will roll out of here about 4 am. Should be able to make it to Ontario with my 70...then I get to pick up a 4 dropper in Vernon, CA Sunday afternoon...oh joy. Anyone know how parking is around Yuma, AZ on Sunday nights?
