    sitting at a rest area 20 miles from pickup.

    drove 200 mmiles through the mountains with no civilization. good thing the roads were dry. got through just in time for the S H I T to start flying around at the eisenhower tunner. fidnally in an area with no winter weather warning on the phone. with any luck. i'll mss the storm before i hit salt lake and that the brunt of the storm blows over so i can truck to boise at full speed with no chains.

    CROSSING FINGERS.

    9 hours, OUCH. I was mad at Safeway yesterday for taking 3 hours to offload pallets. Got to some patience. Not. Just don't appreciate me humping my butt off to make appointments on time, pushing my 70, fighting the elements, etc. and then the customer not appreciating the fact that my time is valuable. Then 148 bucks for lumpers, and they can't even leave a clean trailer.....AAAAARRRRRRRGGH:biggrin_2555:

    We weren't real happy we sent messages to Dispatch they called bolt house Farms and bolt said waiting on product its a Carrot place for gods sake!

    app was at 10:00am and finally got out at 22:49:biggrin_25516: Thats how we got this load from Hell, delivered at Safeway in Tracy CA and then got this crap and it looks like the Bolt place will be a regular thing for the guys who get Tracy loads to safeway...God give me patience just two more months and we are done with the company BS!

    u said 2 more months 12 months ago jess. :biggrin_2559:

    having breakfast in grand junction. then off to climb spanish fork canyon before nightfall. hope to get into the valley before hitting the storm head on that still lurks over salt lake. looks like it's taking a break right now. but still going strong from the idaho state line to boise. :biggrin_25513:

    hope to be back in salt lake saturday morning so i can get the cruise fixed. and possibly the ecm. and new air filters. my gas mileage has gone to ##### since i put 40 gallons in at the J IN CALDWELL

    I have picked up at Bolthouse before and got in and out quickly, so maybe next time won't be so bad.

    Well it might be the case some peopel checked in then a few minutes later got into a door. Then some like us had to wait for as long as 12 hours like us to get loaded. Evidently they were behind in production and have been all week.

    Least this locksmith only charged me $35 to get into my truck. Stinking key, just broke off, as I was inserting it in the lock. I didn't even turn the d a m n thing!!! Shop has a complete set on order for me now and will install it tomorrow. Have never been able to open the passenger door with this key.
