Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

probably just easier to find a more reputable company to work for.

 

KC is icing over right now. They're saying that it'll be 3 pm before the temps get back above freezing. I came down I-35 rather than across I-70 because the forecast for Kingdom City and St. Louis was for possible heavy ice accumulation. I had clear roads until Kearny, then the precip hit and instantly froze to my windshield. All the way to 435 on the east side it was starting to ice and 435 all the way down to the I-70 ramps the road was starting to get greasy, but after that all the way down to Spring Hill, the roads were just wet. Our yard was a different story...the lot is gravel, but it's iced over to the point that it's the ice follies. The roads aren't too bad, but they're calling for a fair amount of precip before it changes to all rain. Then get into the mid 30's overnite, and then into the low/mid 20's by noon tomorrow...

This weather forecast brought to you by Pilot's coffee...the best coffee on the interstate

Empty in Houston this afternoon (9:30 am appt, but was 2nd in line. Ended up being 12:30 before I was empty). Sent up to a new account Wylie has been awarded in Corsicana. Dispatch said live load, when I got here, it'll be a drop/hook preloaded, that wasn't preloaded yet. Just like everything else that Wylie is doing, they are still in the ' Chinese fire drill' stages of getting things rolling here. They brought in 1 loader from each of 3 plants to train a new loading crew (Church Hill, Spring Hill and Laurinburg), but they can't keep trainees. Once I am loaded, I will be going to Secaucus NJ. It'll be my 1st experience pulling a Wylie single drop (their conestogas open and latch way different than Moore's do) I waited for a while once they put my trailer in a door to see how to unlatch it, but I got tired of waiting and decided to just go take my break and figure it out for myself later.
