Going Over the Road with Knight

It is a 504 series. Today it kept shutting off on me. It is on continuous for now.

 

Sitting in Atlanta to have this trailer looked at Monday. Have a dry load right now so they can work on it.
At my pickup a guy was being rude with the shipping staff. He was complaining to them about not getting load then proceeded to loudly tell me his story. I said hopefully I will have better luck than you have and he stormed out. I was in and out of that place in 3 hours and he was still in the staging area when I left. Never p iss off the shipping or receiving staff.

 

On my way to California. Weather has been good to me so far. Supposed to snow in Amarillo tonight where I happened to shutdown.
This week's check was 934.00 gross. Mine range from 800 to just over 1000 depending on how many miles I can get. So far so good. I will be getting a good bonus check too as the miles on this load will get me other performance bonus along with the other two bonus categories. Should be 800 or more when it pays out. Knight has been good to me so far. This is with minimal drop and hook too. I can count on one hand the number of drop and hook I have done since about the third week of December. Lots of trailer trucking.

 

And Atlanta replaced the starter on the reefer and it is running fine. Looks like hell but it runs.

 

So today CHP did a full inspection on the truck and trailer. He managed to find a small spot of wear the size of my thumbnail on the air lines that hang down from the tandem slide. I talked to the safety director and he said Knight won't count it against me as that as something I am not expected to find. I am sure I will get a CSA point(s) though. From now on I am going over the lines very thoroughly. It wasn't leaking or broken but showed signs of wear. Such bull.

 

Customer rejected all but two pallets so I am on my way to Arkansas for the controlling customer to inspect. This has turned into a 3700 mile trip for me.
