From Company driver to L/P

Yhea it sucks for sure. Traffic threw town is X4 since we moved here. Lots of folks move here from in state and out of state. The one building the chapel is local relator who's wife left office to do weddings now. They are old family here and it's their land. But those of us right below this hill less than 1000 feet will not sleep well. I am not putting livestock threw that noise factor either.
So we move but it's all good as I said we have multiple reasons this is just one.

 

Well, hubby working threw new year. His first pick up was a no go for dock was closed till the second. This load was to get him from KY back to MI. So was a broker load and it seems by a lasy broker as they never called hubby back after they said they were going to confirm. LOL what needed confirming hubby was there talking to security guard.

Anyway, he is now on a load to TX and with guess who CHROBISION. But it's all good as he is moving and will probably reset down there. At least he is out of the weather up North.

Looks like we will have a full moon over New Year's. So everyone be safe. Happy New Year.

 

It's 94 cents loaded and truck payment, and maintenance and fuel comes out of that. So basically if he get 2500 miles or more he meets what he made at OD. He is dispatched and runs company freight out and on way back runs broker freight. Unless like now which there running him out of holiday.

This is Warehouse side Freight side runs regional and does not use alot of broker freight. But they run very heavy all the time mostly.

 

Happy New Year all. Wish everyone a healthy and prosperous one.

 

So far this week hubby has run into two over picky companies about the trailer floor. We're talking small minor cracks in wood that you can't see threw. Stuff was on skids too.

Anyway, hubby now loosing up to a gal in oil from engine during ideling. Probably a gasket as he says these engines are known for that issue. But here's the issue trying to get it fixed by company shop will be very hard in short time. Why 3 trucks in for major engine work. One guy down south been waiting since mid December for his truck to be finished. He is a lease option too. They only have One engine repair mechanic and he has to fix 3 engine overhauls by himself? Wow no wonder there taking so long on it. I don't think hubby will see his done unless it's on the road again. I hope engine does not seize up and then have to be totally replaced. That would cost so much more than just doing it now.

Hubby is upset because he is all about preventive maintenance and doing a correct fix right away. Instead of letting it go till it blows and takes more with it. Not Jerry rigged to make it last a bit longer. Either way he will be down as the spare truck is now gone.

This is a very sucky start to New Year. Hope things turn around fast.
