Our 2015 Volvos were ordered with the "fridge prep" package which has the empty space and 12 volt connector for the Volvo fridge but no fridge.

Congrats @Hudson_MacBeth ! Hear good things about that company. Here is an interesting fact....USX used to own them. Abilene trucks can still park at all our terminals. The Chicago terminal in Markham is huge. So maybe I'll see you sometime.

Lake park at the J

Headed up to Macon for what most likely is a live load then out to new Albany to the malwart. Probably home from there that'll give me 3+ for the week.

Didn't make any friends with the guys in Jax today. They just don't know it yet. Bunch of jack ##### running out of that drop lot so I don't really care.

Get there and first empty has a soaking wet note in the connector that says out of service. Doesn't say why.

They like to back the trailers into the trees so we can't tell whether they're loaded or empty. They'll also put seals on the good empties to 'save' them for themselves. When it rains it makes a lake around the tandems that makes the problem worse. I hooked, pulled out, checked, backed in and dropped 3 before I found an empty. Then realize it has no left side mudflap and the hanger is bent all the way in to the tires.

Rinse and repeat for a total of 5 before I found a good empty. Called maintenance just to report the problems to make sure they knew and would get them fixed since this is a remote drop lot. They didn't know. Nobody reported them.

Then they transferred me to safety who made a BIG deal out of it, especially the missing mudflap and bent hanger. She wanted pics so I sent them in and added one more of all the trailers shoved up in the trees and ended with 'as long as we're addressing issues in Jacksonville....." She was not pleased. make my life difficult will ya? I've had a bad enough week. I know 5 phones that are gonna be ringing. I have no sympathy for them at all.

That's a fairly new drop lot and new drivers to the company. They haven't learned that we work together here and don't screw the other guy. They're gonna learn quickly.

You are "miracle worker" as one of my old customers used to say... After all you went thru, with your arm hurt and all and still doing more work than you would normally do and fixing other people's mistakes... You are one of a kind man...
Hope you are taking it easy this week.... and feeling better from your arm...

Oh I'm one of a kind alright lol or so I've been told......although I don't think they meant it in such complimentary terms.

I just have no tolerance for stupidity. Especially when it affects me directly.

We've got a few customers like that. Disp gives us a 9am appt time, show up 15 early, and BAM! no appointments, first come, first served. And there's 3 trucks ahead of you.

I always call customer no matter what DSP or broker says... and generally most my loads (pick up and deliveries) are within a window of time with no appt. So I try to be the first one as much as I can... and keep on rolling.... then folks pick on me cause I say I "rush"...

Parked at my first stop, I wished I had stopped just before I got here. I was teasing the store employees when I was here last that I'd bring coffee with me on my next visit.

I have only been to this store one other time, and didn't realize it was the same store until I got onto the last stretch.

Oh well, I love this drive.

Nighttime, windows down, clean air, crisp and a touch of cool. The last 60 minutes are nothing but a two lane road, and at 3am it's completely deserted except for a few stray logging trucks. ...and the occasional handful of deer that stare at me as I go past them.

I'll take this, over an interstate, any day.

I LOVE those runs too... except for the animals wondering on the road at night... well... maybe not as bad as the freaking motoring public during the day...
