Good Night From II

lakewood ca. back to work yesterday. p/u up a load at porterville dc going to bakersfeild. then a backhaul from fed ex going back to porterville. got another load pretty quick that gone to store hewre in lakewood. got here and no empty trailer. took them 4 hrs to unload. so took my ten after i moved both empty trailers from their dock and put mine and another full trailer in the dock. ran out of hours. got another backhaul p/u in southgate that goes back to porterville. i was hoping to be halfway back before i took my ten in order to miss the rain in la traffic. guess not lol

 

Tyco electronics. Why are you picking up a t-call in Lancaster tomorrow?

 

That is correct. Thats my home time load.

 

At home enjoying hometime on my birthday. Headed back out Sunday with a load to SoCal.

FINIALLY got the monitor/keyboard portion of my Qualcom replaced in my truck. It took my DM calling the Qualcom department in Phoenix and getting the head of the Qualcom department to come out into the shop and look at my truck. He found the problem in less than 3 minutes and instructed the shop to replace what needed replacing, which by the way was the same thing I had been trying to get replaced for the past year. BLEEPING wrench turning monkeys!

 

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

 

Happy Bday Steve

 

Some little truck stop in Montrose, CO.

My 'next load assignment' was put on hold so I could repower a load going to Pueblo.
Someone's turbo sprung an oil leak.

We have a big storm coming in over the weekend that is supposed to drop at least a foot of snow in the next day or two between here and there.
It looks like I might be sitting, and so lose that other load as a result.

That won't make the people at Sears very happy. I dropped my trailer there after a live unload to bt here for this trailer.
(With permission from the manager at Sears, but she thinks it will only be for a day. And, it's in the way because it is a very small parking lot.)
I'm not really sure why the Denver planner wanted my to lose my mt so badly, but he did. Probably thinking that I would go back and get it for my last NLA after I delivered the Target load.
Thing is, this place is also on the way for that load. I could have dropped it here just as easily, and the place was nearly empty when I got here.

Oh well. I just follow instructions...

 

Happy Birthday, Steve!!!

 

Morris, IL. Dropped one at Michaels and pick up in the afternoon at Pets Smart, all of 9k, going to McAllen, TX for Tuesday. Watching this weather and hoping that I can get quite west of St Louis my tomorrow evening, then maybe I can miss it. I doubt it from what they are saying, freezing rain to the south and they were talking about Oklahoma

 

As always...

Better safe than sorry.
