Calex Express....My New Home!

I'm starting to think I'm a bad luck magnet as this trip did not get started on a good note. I get to the terminal at about 2:30 this morning and fire the truck up. At least she started considering she wasn't plugged in and it was 5 degrees out. Anyway, I turn on the lights and of course the left headlight is burned out. No one at the shop at that ungodly hour so I head down the road and stop at the Pilot in Conyngham. They don't have the right bulb so it's back in the truck and off to the Buckhorn T/A. They have them so I change the bulb and off I go.

I get to McElhattan, get my paperwork and find my trailer. I hook up, pull it out of the slot and do a pre-trip. All is well, but I want to check the hubs for oil, and since they are so cruddy I try to take the cap off to look inside. Well, since it's so blasted cold out, the plastic sight breaks and I'm sitting there with the cap and part of the plastic in my hand. Not good. A few phone calls and two hours later I'm finally rolling.

The rest of the day went fairly well, and I made it to my stop for the night, but I did end up using 13 hours and 58 minutes of my 14 to get it done. I made it to my planned stop, but that WAS cutting it a BIT closer than I'd have liked. Whew! I hope tomorrow is a better day.

 

Doex Calex have rider/pet policies? Do they hire out of Texas?
