Running with JCT, Part Deux

Be careful dude. I think that might be a skunk.

 

A grill and some bbq sauce and you have dinner

 

Man that was close, but some awesome footage! Appreciate the slow-mo, too. You should send that to the weather channel - or Pecos Hank for his YouTube channel - I'm sure it would get airtime.

 

That's no cat, that's a Mexican chicken.

 

Don't make any plans to stoo at this Flying J for a long time:

Ugh, its so annoying when they close parking when they are working on a building. Like when they close rest area parking. Leave the parking open, especially in California.

 

Gotta love it when you get in line at Blue Beacon and the 4 trucks ahead of you are reefers and all of them get a washout only.

Then you pull up and say you want tractor, trailer, and washout. Oh the look of in their eyes for ending their easy streak.

 

1700 miles total paid between these two trips 700 of that has been empty. 400 of loadedwas 20000 lb.

Not complaining at all

 

By the way here's the importance of documenting everything.

I had to pick up at JBS in Greeley. Load window was 10 a. M. To 1400.

I get there about noon load is not ready. I call at 1500 since no one called me load is not ready. Send a freeform to dispatch to let them know.

I proceeded to call every couple of hours while sending the messages to dispatch. I then get a message from dispatch about 1 a. M. Saying the load is ready.

The bills have a big 1700 written on them. And the printer timestamp says 16 30.

So I happen to be at the terminal whenever detention sends me a message asking me about the load. So I go talk to her and apparently JBS is saying load been ready since 1630. but I have both a call log and Qualcomm messaging saying I called all the way up until 2230 and was told the load was not ready.

So because I had all of that documentation I got full detention for it without a fight.

 

That's their way to try get out of paying detention. Most drivers don't document like you did and they get away with it.
