Running with JCT, Part Deux

Made it through it. If all goes well tomorrow I'll be up first for truck picking. Lots of belly aching by the guys today that were picking (they started Friday). Older rigs with high letters on them. We'll see what happens!

 

I have to agree with everyone else. I've haven't won a single one. It has no affect weather or not I work a holiday or not. And, I agree that it would be better to take that money and divide it equally among the drivers that worked that holiday. Especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas when most drivers want to be home anyway.

 

Did you know that 1230 is not the same as 0030?

apparently my not thinking brain didn't realize that when I was setting my alarm....

 

Lol. Been there done that. Hopefully it didn't make you late.

 

I'm still 16 hours ahead on this load... Lol.

 

That's good. I'm 24hrs ahead on mine. Delivers tomorrow morning and I'm at the Echo, UT Rest Area bout to roll the last little bit to SLC.

 

My load is a 3 stopper one drop in Albuquerque already done next drop in Riverside final in Fremont.

Load started it 18,000 lb half the trailer full dropped 8000 pounds in Albuquerque I feel practically empty.

So far all my loads this year have been light 18000 pounds to Washington 23000 pounds from Washington to Terrell and now this 18000 pounds from Broken Bow.

 

Made to the J off of 201 in SLC. Git me a spot with easy out. So yea on that.

Managed to get this cool pic just before I left the rest area.

 

Any last minute advice on truck selection and inspection? I guess they're gonna take me, selecting a truck in a bit.

 

Look at it like you are buying it. Check everything and report anything you find no matter how small.

Don't do like a lot of people and kick the tires and walk around.
