Furniture Row Express

Got my Tyson load going to Chicago.
Low Engine Coolant and apparently needs a Svc.
Sitting at TK now.
The thing isI could technically do the Coolant thing myself. Problem is, its kinda high up there.

 

im in greeley waiting on load that picks up tomorrow at midnite and delivers in wis. on friday.another slow week it looks like.don said the election has a lot to do with slow freight.he said werner drivers were averaging 1200 mls a week.he said it happens every election year before the election.he said eventory for most companies are at 15%...i caught a rock on my way to jbs rite in the middle of drvers window and it started to run rite away.guess ill have something to do tomorow.wander if i can get break down pay...LOL

 

Sitting in Boise City,ok at loves waiting for my load in cactus, tx to be ready. There is a beef jerky store across the street, 11 bucks for a big bag and its good stuff. Yesterday i had to go to CT power, i had a trailer w 2 bad tires. This was picked up as bad and not safe. (Cats away mice play) It has been noted. I also dont think new Albany is not thoroughly checking trailers like their suppose to. There is no one there to look over them. Maybe john could work something for certain drivers to check all trailers on property as to double check there work and ensure trailers are up to standards.

 

I'd rather not see a driver doing that.
I'm sure David could use Help anyways.

 

if all the drivers were doing their job there wouldnt be a problem with so many bad trlrs.so to think that they are going to check out trlrs in yards[i hate to think of it]and to put the responsability on certain responsable drivers,leave me off that list.i dont want to cover for these drivers who dont take the time to do their jobs.besides when u do write up a trlr they dont seem to get fixed any way.fre is getting ripped off unless it is taken to TA and the driver is rite there to see the work is done...i think we need a differant place to take our trlrs because the people who are suposed to be doing the work dont seem to be doing the work

 

i heard from another driver today that we have a new customer(ashley furniture).we are hauling their freight to denver.also heard that everyone was getting a raise to .40 a mile...so take it for what its worth.[from another driver]

 

I can see the Ashley Furniture being a posibility since I hauled a load of it to Denver the other day but that could have been a onetime thing who knows. And, as far as a raise that amount wouldn't really alter my paycheck much at all and I really can't see them giving a raise completely across the board.

Daniel, I'm sorry you've had such a bad week. I've gotten trailers out of Greeley before that had blown air bags or flat tires. Makes me wonder who is checking them. But I was at least able to get them repaired quickly while still in Greeley so as not to effect my load.

Trailer maintainence has to be my biggest pet peeve here.

Hope your week gets better.
