Good Night From II

I already have a load out, and it's not Walmart.
And like you said, I would never get caught up with them.

 

The last shop said they rebuilt it, but it is still the same.
Any errors are only flashed for about 1 second. Not even enough time to focus my eyes on it when I do catch it.

But this is typical whenever I have had a ProStar/LT.
There are always things wrong that are outside the reach of our mechanics, or even the dealers.

My next truck should be my million mile Cascadia.
Can't wait for that day.

 

People have wondered how bad my mental health has been this year, so let me try to put it into perspective. In a normal year I usually drive about 100k miles. This year I will not break 25,000 miles.

The old T660 got to be too expensive to repair and by the time we found out it had been blowing all of its exhaust and after treatment fumes into the sleeper I had been physically ill for months.

Then in September I had a vertebrae slip out of place leaving me barely able to walk for three weeks. That was when Swift showed their true colors and told me to get back on the road, period.
I will hit ten years on 23 May 2023 if I can take it for that long and I've already told management that I'm out after that.

 

When I got to the consignee this morning they were closed.
I called my DM and she then noticed that it had been rescheduled for the 28th, so we t-called it in Edwardsville.

I am also on hold until I get my physical, so I'll be stuck here until at least Sunday. Most likely Monday, though, since the clinic was closed today as well.

 

ontario ca at petro.
merry Xmas everyone. hope you are stayi.g safe
didn't make the final trip due to no loads and didn't want going to go empty with the high winds.
so ended up delivering that load to San Diego this morning and bobtailing back due to no loads down there.
load had till tomorrow nite to deliver but I like 2 days off in a row.
here at petro for my Xmas dinner.

 

Truck stop food, or your own cooking?

Petro sometimes has a good feast laid out, if things are not too dried out or soggy.

 

they having all you can eat Xmas dinner.
no more buffet. they bring you another plate when you done with the first.
I am not a good cook. I will survive it but not great lol

 

The clinic was open today, Sunday 12/26, and I was able to get my physical.
That went pretty good. BP at 128/80 and eyesight at 20/15 for both eyes.

Now I just have to wait for Swift to get things updated so I can get a load out of here.

 

Chilly.
7 degrees now and supposed to get to minus 3 tonight.

Northfield, MN at the J.

I was given a load going to Minneapolis that was supposed to deliver yesterday at 0400.
Already late when I got the pplan.
I said in the mac 22 that I would get it there tomorrow morning at 0800, and they rescheduled it for tomorrow morning at 0400.
?
What part about my ETA do you NOT understand?
It will be 0800 tomorrow morning like I said.
Let's see what happens when I get there at 0800.

On the bright side, I can idle tonight to stay warm. That is always a plus.

 

At 0345 this morning I am woken up by Swift asking if I will make the 0400 appointment.
I was not happy.
I told him no, I would be there at 0800 like I said in both mac 22's that I sent.

Being unloaded now.
