Good Night From II

They waste so much money on unneeded fluff like that.

 

jurupa terminal.
had a skin cancer spot removed on wednesday.
pretty big spot on side of left eye and into the top eyelid.
left eye pretty swollen. been using icepacks
off work till next wednesday's doc appt. most likely get stitches removed then.
came here to charge up the truck batterries

 

I had time to swing by the Menasha terminal this morning to meet my new DM. They were just starting to cook for driver appreciation week, so I grabbed a burger on my way out.

I really wish the computer would not set a bogus PTA every time I get a new load.
I have a 0900 live unload tomorrow, and as soon as I got the load assignment my PTA was set for 1000 by the computer.
And within 3 minutes a planner sent me a pplan having me pick up a load at 1100.
We all know that 2 hours should be allowed for a live unload, so why do the people that program these things have it set for only 1 hour?

I countered it with a pickup of 1130, since it was around 20 minutes away. The load was removed and I have not received another pplan all day.

It all just creates confusion and delays and frustration on everyone's part.

 

jurupa terminal.
doctor said i could go back to work now.
so grabbex an empty and dkd a quick pretrip
did a better ome when i got to shipper since sum was out.
at the shipper hit some pretty deep holes that i didnt see. was all same color dirt.
rocked the truck preety good.
when i parked the mt it its spot i noticed the black fairimg thats under the front bumper was missing.
so drove back to where i hit the holrs and it wasnt there or anywhere alomg the path i drove
called my dl to see what i should do . no damage to bottom of bumper and all the screw were in its place.
he said whenni was done to let the shop looknat it.
so on my was to final i called the manager at shop and he said they took it off due tona recall withnit.
he said it was causimg trucks to overheat
big releif for me.

 

It would have been nice if they had told you when they did the work.

Is that the extender piece on the Cascadia front bumper?

 

yeah.. runs along the bottom

 

Mine doesn't have it, and I'm glad. I have seen many ripped off just from normal driving.
A deep driveway entrance or a high speed bump, and smoosh.

And they actually cause overheating? That's some good R&D right there.

 

mine had a few cracks in front middle from i beleive is when i hit potholes or steep driveways.
hit a few railroad crossing that were pretty high

 

Giving the front bumper 3 inches of clearance must have been a no-brainer to those smart college kids.

College kids with lots of smarts but no brains at all?

 

Pretty dead this weekend.
I'm around Indianapolis. I delivered last night and my next load doesn't pick up until anytime tomorrow, delivering near St. Louis Monday morning.
A total of 275 miles for the weekend. WooHoo!
