JJ's Place

Im in Salina Kansas. One more day of this test. Take this truck to Denver tomorrow and then fly home on Wed. Hopefully have a week off before the next call.

 

any time now i be getting my next load. any time now.

next time how about a heads up about my next load so that i can be somewhere else instead of sitting around

 

loaded for ouray, co

load sits in the front way more then the rear. a bunch of RR ties 35 feet long. drives are 2500 under. you wouldn't think the back would weigh 5000 more then the front. so i'm 1500 over gross. thought the load was ok so i never scaled. hit the first oregon scale when i seen i was over.

physics seems to be messed up here. but good thing this truck has permits for everyone but cali. our other truck scaled out 10 miles down the road and i'm guessing went back.

 

Bet its nice and warm in colorado lol its not to bad down in Louisianna.

 

as long as it's not windy. there was a truck blown over coming out of portland yesterday. dude was on a ON RAMP that was pretty straight.

 

On a 2 dropper, Duluth, GA and Plant City, Fl. Ahhhhhhh, Florida..... many loads go in, few come out!!!

 

He was the load of raspberry jam? The on-ramp from 181st ave to 84 west bound is a clover leaf. The eastbound is straight. Winds were not that high. As the radio announcer said, "It was a sticky situation."

 

i watched my empty flatbed track more then the truck. it was pretty bad going in and out. at the time i rolle through. and the part of the ramp he was on was pretty straight. almost on the freeway. the trailer was empty when i drove into portland., 4 hours later they were still working on the wreck.

once you got past the wind it was nice and calm.

 

Had a couple of days at home and will be heading out to Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana with 13 drops to our customers and pickin up some apples in Yakima on the way as well. Than it is a beer load out of Wisconsin back to Portland OR and back home.

 

Im home to warm and sunny San Antonio!!

Actually, it wasnt all that bad in Denver this morning when I left.
