Going back trucking with PTL

Home time was very restful. Came back out on Monday morning got a load of tile from Florence, AL to Laredo, TX.

When I inspected the trailer, someone stole one of the rear turn-signals. Had no where to get it fixed on the way to my pickup. Ended up passing 4 scales. 3 were closed and one gave me the by-pass signal thank you pre-pass. Finally got it repair at the TA in W Memphis, AR.

Everyone have a safe day

 

You're welcome. Sometimes I think I am just talking to myself...

 

Finished the load going to Laredo, TX. I should have went directly there I could have taken my 10 there. Waited about an hour for my next PP picking up in the yard and going to Birmingham, AL for an 0800 delivery on 2/28.


Sitting in the TA in Tuscaloosa, AL. The place I am going to does not have ON parking.

 

Got unloaded this AM in Birmingham, AL. Was waiting on my next PP so I went over to the Flying J to wait. They send it. It's picking up at the same place and going back to Laredo, TX. I'm really liking these runs.

In a door now waiting to get loaded and then down the road....

 

Well didn't get far down the road..I am now sitting at the Petro at ex100 I20/59. My service air line to the trailer has a hole in it from rubbing on the mud flap. PTL in it's infinite wisdom is changing from pigtails to straight hoses. I don't understand why.

I am getting both hoses replaced with pigtails. As soon as I can get in the shop.

 

Well the shop took forever well 4 hours. When they were done I had to take my 10 here. This Petro is hiddden from the highway. There were still parking places at 2100.

Got up at 0300 and whent as far as Baytown, TX. I am at the Love's to get fuel a shower and take a break.

Later people...

 

Thanks will do...

Dropped my load at Excel in Laredo 10 hrs early. Went over to our drop lot then decided to come up to the TA. Sent a message in asking about my next PP (it is Sunday so I don't know what I might get). The response was "RoadMaint has you OOS for a broken blue hose". WTF. This hose was fixed 2 days ago. Called RM up and they said they would fix it. Sent another request in to Dispatch their response "Planner is looking".
So here I sit baking in the 85 degree heat, good thing my APU A/C is working.
