Unloaded Sumner and reloaded Seattle today. Currently in Post Falls, ID
To unload Jersey City, NJ Monday morning. Won't be much grass grow under my feet next four days
Lots of smoke/ash in the air all across Washington, and generally all up and down I-5. Especially bad in Ellensburg area from fires up near the Canadian border. Can't keep the inside of my truck clean last 3 days dealing with this crap everywhere to one extent or another since northern California ...
About 4-5 mile visibility due to smoke near Ellensburg
Where's Everyone @?

Got my Denver drop kicked off but not without much difficulty. Apparently the broker told the consignee I had a medical emergency and I needed to be unloaded ASAP. As this was obviously not true, Strike 1. Also it was in the system as supposed to deliver yesterday. Strike 2. And if I wanted it unloaded today it'd be 305$ plus lumper fees, and they'd "work me in". Strike 3 I'm outta here. Dispatch said there's no frickin way we're paying that. Alrighty. Go in and tell consignee, now they're all pissy pants because the broker obviously fabricated some sort of story for who knows what reason AND they still not getting their product. Few hours pass and I was told to hit a door, albeit not very kindly. So long story short, no friends were made in Denver today. Now I'm like .06 miles down the street loading... drum roll...ba ba ta da.. MORE WATER!!
For a product that quite literally falls out of the sky it sure needs to be shipped around a lot. I drop and swap at a Walmart DC towards Omaha and then camp at our yard tonight.... is the plan anyway.
The Kraut, Vic Firth, Farmerbob1 and 2 others Thank this. -

After one week I finally got the call on Friday morning that my truck is fixed and good to go.
Dispatch managed a load for me to Cali, another driver dropped the trailer in Denver. I picked up the rental car Friday afternoon and left home early Saturday morning.
Plan was two drops in NorCal and one in SoCal. When I picked up the trailer all three drops were NorCal.
Called dispatch on Saturday but nobody knew what was going on. Dropped my first two today and have to wait for my last till tomorrow morning. The plant had changed the trip, but there was no appointment for me available today for the last delivery. Usually the receiver is very good, delivered there a few times early but today they were very busy, no chance to get rid of 3 pallets today
Enjoyed the week off at home, better than sitting in a hotel in Denver for one week
Panhandle flash, Shock Therapy, Suspect Zero and 1 other person Thank this. -

Made the first 1300 miles without problems
