Could Have Gone To Paris

is it me? ive been to houston twice in the last 2 weeks and both times i had to wait for two days for a load. parked at the pilot both times and it looked like the swift terminal. there was swift trucks parked everywhere

 

*yawn*

And how did you get on the freeway?

 

if swift can 'total' the truck, they'll find a way to do it, just to get cut an insurance check for $104k....then not re-lease the driver on a new truck....their way of being 'fired'.

 

Highjacking for a moment-- I had a doo doo doo doo moment in Paris TX recently (think Twilight Zone). My mom and her family had grown up in Bonham TX in the 1940's post depression as sharecroppers. They moved to California after the DustBowl-- anyway, like many loads I have taken to and through cities and areas I never expected to visit in my life, I got to roll through Bonham and had chills run up my spine.

As you were, return to your regularly scheduled programming....

 

was it a 'doo doo doo doo' or "dee dee dee" moment?

 

Think "pucker factor" at the point where seat meets seat!

Dropped my "generator" Monday morning 3 blocks from Central yard Irving...they bob-tailed me down to Houston to get an MT....25 mph to Ennis on I-40 then all dry road down to Houston....came back up today pretty much same scenario in reverse...now loading in Grapevine headed to Phoenix and some warmth!

You guys be careful out there...the hit and miss ice patches are the worst...these 4 wheelers get up to speed in the open areas then get on the brakes under the overpasses and do the "360" game....talk about pucker power!
