An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Let’s see if I remember how to do this type of trucking. First stop is a #### truck wash!

it wasn’t too bad, our yard is right near the entrance to the express lanes.

plenty of skid steers!

 

That would be a welcome change...no tarping!!!



Where do they have you headed?

 

Next load, not a skid steer load. My appointment for this load is 14:30, I pu at the other TMX location by 16:00 going to Austin, Crestview FL, Macon GA, then Jax FL. But, the load instructions say they want Austin and Crestview delivered on Monday (they're 750 miles apart) which ain't gonna happen...and it is another multi-stop tarp load. Going back to refrigerated freight is looking more appealing every day.

 

Noooooo!!!!! Reefer work sucks. You should try tanks. You won’t regret it.

 

I loved hauling a reefer, and it's far less strenuous than tarping(and untarping and retarping etc). The only type of open deck I could see myself doing in the future is equipment hauling. And if I were closer to retirement, then hauling fuel would be an option, but in my area fuel haulers don't make what I do now.

 

Ya know who hauls a lot of equipment… they even have a yard in SC and offer regional down there…

 

You know who, as it our "partner" company? I would rather be castrated with a dull rusty butter knife, without anesthesia, than drive a truck with their logo on it.

 

Careful those 1/2 inch chains get heavy…and lots of sitting waiting on permits etc with the type of machine hauling that pays anything near what you require.

 

There’s far more liquids to haul other than fuel.

 

But that's the only one I would consider hauling.
