Calex Express....My New Home!

see that scratch in the drivers side of the bumper cover???? i own that,,, scraped a wall out neer pittsburgh in murrysville.... if you ever run cardinal glass out to murrysville you will see why and how it got scratched....

 

Lol..so this used to be your truck?....honestly I don't see much on the driver side of the bumper. But on the passenger side there's a little bend/paint scrape at the very bottom. Nothing too bad. Made sure I showed them that and any other previous flaws just incase.

 

I'm sitting here at Lion Brewery since 1230 which was my appt time they just started loading me. Got a load goin back to brooklyn ny so ill prolly stop by the house for the night. Last week was pretty brutal for me did 4 NYC borough runs in a row and then a Canada friday night into saturday. I guess they weren't kidding when I was put on the local. I don't mind NY since I'm from there and can handle it, but 4 NYs in a row I wasn't expecting. Guess I'd better get used to it. I was hoping to do some more mileage type runs and get away from NY a bit so we'll'l have to see.

 

no used it as a loaner while mine was in the shop...the scrape was on the side cover not really on the bumper itself..... the nyc runs arent too bad but he will keep you running there ....you can make some good money doing them especially the 2 stoppers and the driver assist loads....

 

Sitting here at the Petro in Avoca. I got empty at noon today in Mountain Top. I had an uneventful week until last night while I was sleeping at the Wilco in Raphine on 81. Mother nature sure showed her tough side. I got rocked out of bed around 1am and waited until in quieted down then left and drove to the T/A north of Harrisburg. After waking up I left and drove to my delivery. I always enjoyed the view of this big red barn in a pasture just before the 81/78 split, it looked almost like a post card. Now it was splattered all over 81 after a tornado touched down and plastered it all over the highway.

I load tomorrow for a load going to Las Vegas. Then I have to dead head to Salinas and load produce coming back. Gary is here also and he's got a 2 stopper, Phoenix and LA then he too is loading in Salinas. That's all for now, be safe out there everyone.

 

Well, today is my last day at my "old" job. Taking the next four days off to relax and spend some time with my wife. Then it's off to Pittston for orientation and my new adventure.

Be safe John and Gary on your trip out west.

 

Back at the terminal getting my truck serviced then picking up my load for Vegas at 3.

 

Im in a loaner myself now with mine in the shop. Up for an inspection and a few other small things. The loaner actually rides alot smoother than mine and gets better MPG. As for the NYC stops, i did 3 more this week having mon/tues off and getting a late start for the week. With the mon/tues off and the 3 NY runs i was home every night this week so that was pretty cooli thought.

I guess better to be parked than not driving through that when it hit. I believe i drove thru some of that storm that night heading up to the yard. I was on 80 west just before 476 and suddenly at the top of the hill it was pounding rain like i've never seen before. Wind wasnt that bad but the rain was so heavy you could not make out any road or lanes whatsoever. The wipers on full blast seemed really slow. Glad it only lasted 10 miles or so and it cleared up.

Congrats on the new job.

 

Well I'm back home already and this trip I don't want to even talk about it I had to give a driver a riide back n let's say it wasn't a fun 2 days he screwed my peoplesnet I can't sign into I had to use paper to get home and to vegas probably if I can't login the driver was so falsefing it wasn't funny I caught him doing things I had to yell at him not to do all he said was #### u n shut up then complained on how I ate and cause my truck wasn't ##### n span guess he didn't know abt the storms I went thru I hope come Monday he looses his job but since he's been there awhile ill doubt it

 

Sucks to hear man. Give him a ride to where?...and why is he possibly gonna lose his job?..for breaking the peoplenet box?
