Choice program on the West Coast - from company driver to IC

Another easy 440 mile day today, sitting at the Peelot on I-85, exit 35, just south of Greenville, SC. 15 miles to my D/H at 8 am tmrw.

Drove through Talladega today on race day!! Have been by there many times but never on a race day. Was cool to see all the people, RV's, and such in the fields and people in the stands of the racetrack. You can see this from I-20. Luckily traffic was just starting to back up from the exit when I rolled by.

Tmrw I finally get rid of this load! And then it's a trip up to Charlotte OC to pick up a relay going to Bridgewater VA. Will be my first trip into DFO's home base..... Will be nice to get this extra load onto this week's check.

Nice and warm here, APU keeping me cool.

That's all folks....

 

What time you going to be at the Charlotte

 

Ah you must be delivering in Greer.

 

Be in Charlotte around 10:30am or so.

 

OK I'll already b gone just got my pre going west.

 

Great day......

Delivered my load in Greenville. Bobtailing to pick up my relay in Charlotte and the truck started throwing codes, check engine light, and running rough. Got hold of Paccar and brought it to freightliner in Charlotte. They diagnosed either a bad injector or harness, they won't know until they tear the engine apart on Wednesday, possibly Tuesday. So I checked into a hotel and pulled all my loads off of me...

And now I wait.....

 

Ughhhh!! geeezze... sorry to hear that man! Hope they figure it out quick.

 

Godddddddddd I am sooooooooo bored in this hotel room. Gonna head to the mall for the afternoon and catch some movies. My truck hasn't been worked on yet....... Sigh

 

Most emissions repairs cost 3-5 days and 2 grand and up depending . Any warrantee left on the emissions stuff ?

 

Not that I am aware of. I plan on asking. But I doubt it.....
