J&R Schugel New Ulm, MN

Well Meijer or whatever took 9 hours to unload me. Got some detention pay for it, but it made me late for my pick up down here in Columbia City. Got here for this kraft load. Come to find out they're out of product and are waiting for trucks to arrive with it. Two trucks ahead of me with 7 and 9 am appointments were still waiting. Worse case scenario is I'll be loaded by 3am. Kind of a bummer because I was planning to run this out right and drop it some point tomorrow. Which, is deffiantly still possible, I'll just be really low on hours and kraft doesn't allow over night parking so well see what happens.

 

Nice, let's see here. So0000000 I got loaded by 00:30 on the kraft load. Delivered it, helped a woman driver out because she couldn't find the handle for the tandems. It was an older trailer and she was looking for the pull button like on our utility's. Made it down the road to that trucks stop right before the drop yard, with 3 minutes of drive time left. Picked up the load this morning. Talked to a guy that's dedicated out of jersey, home every weekend, he was happy. In Fort Wayne now, 180 miles away. Up for 6-8am make delivery, and I'm pre planned out of where I'm dropping this trailer of Mars chocolate to Keenesaw, GA on another drop and hook. APU blowing only cold air been chilly last few nights, small coolant leak, 352,000 time for a new truck.....I wish lol!

 

Better run that out there's a storm coming that way! Be safe. Also my dispatcher Travis took a IT position at schugel. My new dispatcher is broc schugel.

 

#### I'm so glad I don't have a freightliner. I picked a guy up in Nashville at the freightliner dealership. His DEF malfunctioned. Needed to recover a truck at a pilot outside of Atlanta so I have him a ride.....what happened next once we got there was bad. When we got to the truck is was tore up. Half the bumper was missing. The inside looked like a tornado hit it im with food and everything you could imagine everywhere. I felt bad. The tires were messed up like he dragged them some how on the pavement. The guy a dropped off was going to go back to Nashville and pick up his load and use the truck until his was done. Brand new cascadia. Couldn't get the miles because it was dead in sure the guy left all the lights on to get jump and cause more money to our company. I deffiantly wouldn't want to see what schugel does to his DAC because he deserves every bit of what's coming to him.


anyways, loaded heading to jersey 805 miles.
