Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

On my way to Sumner. Then tacoma. Then back to the boise area. Then Cali. $2000 is gonna feel good.

 

Actually took the time to read your current signature Joe. I remember watching the HBO special when he performed that material, ROFLMAO ... RIP George, you are missed my friend.

 

Headed to sunny warm Los Angeles, CA for tomorrow night. Tired of seeing snow and being cold. 70
Degrees FTW!

 

Saw 1 of your rigs ( CASCADIA / REEFER ) on the 6 PM news from Buffalo NY he was pulling out of a snow bank under his own power

 

Really? I'd love to see that! I was afraid we had trucks up there....

 

That much snow in a short period of time will put the cabash on any vehicle and driver, no matter how well equipped or experienced.

 

I had 3 stuck on the Canadian side ( FORT ERIE Ontario ) and no snow but could not cross the Bridge to the USA , rerouted them back to the 1000 ISLAND crossing 2 still have deliveries in Buffalo for whenever dropped here in the yard , truck traffic crossing at DETROIT doubled in a short period of time as well by a lot being rerouted

 

The weather looks like last year again. I just came back from Alaska on mostly bare roads. It was cold in Northern BC on the way up and I saw -18 degrees around Fort Nelson. I ran with my coworker together both ways. I guess there is safety in numbers. Specially when you got to take a flat trailer tire off in 10 degrees in Whitehorse, YT in the middle of the night. It took us about 40min and we were back on our way. I now have 100' of 1/2" hose and a 3/4' impact gun. It may not break the lug nuts loose but will spin them off and on a lot faster.

 

Sitting in Los Angeles waiting to get unloaded, then up to Arvin, CA loading for Woodburn, OR. This week was 4585 miles, making me $1927.77. Good times. In the door now and will be rolling up to Arvin tonight. See Ya when I See Ya.

 

Hi Volvo 244t, would be very interested in the advise your TM gave you in how to talk to dispatch to increase your miles. Would you be willing to share?
