From Day one with Carbon Express

Well to say that I suck at this forum thing would be a gross understatement. I have been on the job a little over 9 months, I'm averaging 2500-3000 + miles a week. They keep telling us it slow this time of year, but I've been running my tail off. I haul mostly motor oil and mineral oil from transformer sites for various power companies. Some anti-freeze as well. I like the work, though load planning is more to be desired in that it seems things change constantly with these folks, and it makes it hard to put together a good route plan and still make the appointment on time.

Pay is good and I'm to get a new, truck soon. Well I reckon that's about it for now, I'll try to do better at keeping current on here.

Also hoping ya'll had a good Thanksgiving.

 

Yes, that's one I'd like to find, my dad has a G, 70, and a 720 diesel.

 

So, I'm in Charlotte NC. I turned my trailer in for a wash and dry last night, so I can make a 0800 load appointment .5 miles away from the wash yard only to find out they didn't wash the trailer. Now not only will I be late, but it's going to make getting home today really tight.

 

So, I picked up my new office this past Monday, so far I like it, not quite as roomy as ole#120 but a much better built and riding truck.

 

Was up in Vermont Monday after swapping out trucks. Thought this was a pretty cool pic Tuesday morning.
