Calex Express....My New Home!

Indeed...

 

I'm home. Got here just before the start of the Giants game. I deliver 6am in Miami. I have a reefer trailer because I am reloading a load of lettuce on Wednesday going to our customer in Dayton NJ for Friday. This is the third winter that I have done this run. This loads 25 miles from the house which is nice because I don't have to leave until noon to load, plus I can drag my wife along so she can see how wonderful produce is.

My load to RI had a scheduling problem so I dropped it at the terminal Friday. While there I got my truck serviced and had new steer tires put on because one was starting to cup pretty bad. That's all for now. I did get a chance to see Chris,Todd, Daniel and John all from the blog while there. It's nice to get to see friends in person for a change. Be safe all, God Bless!

 

We are on the yard, getting ready to head'to Brooklyn ,
What happened to truck 23177 looks chewed up big time,

 

The truck that burned up is 23177 , isn't that a owner operator truck?

 

yeah he was a lease op. wow that sucks

 

doing this rochester run again but this week its not the truck thats ill... cold is kicking my butt....

 

Is he the one that had all the extra chrome on his truck?

 

No, it was one of the older Volvo trucks ,with the different front end on it.

 

The chromed one was 23219 and that was sold a few months ago.

 

Well I'm empty. Left the house at 4am and was done at 9. On my way down to Miami I notice my truck riding like a tank and one helluva rattle coming through the floorboard. When it got light out I noticed what the problem was, my tractor air leveler valve went bad and was over-inflating my suspension. So I got empty and drove to the Volvo dealer near my house. It's being fixed as we speak, along with 2 recall items. It'll be done tomorrow. As for me I'm waiting on my wife to come and get me.
