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

Today couldn't suck any worse if it tried......

 

Oh I don't know.... I am at the Safeway DC in Tracy CA and there is a Con Way truck stuck in the mud pit they call a trailer yard....he is over the rear hubs and sinking fast....

 

Trust me. Later when I have the opportunity to give a good long post I'll fill you in. Just know that stupidly reigned supreme today.

 

The lumper service told me there was actually five trucks in the mud. Just couldn't see them because it is so dark. I dropped my trailer in the door and bobtailed to Lathrop.

 

And my neighbors insist on mowing the dormant grass in their yards just because the sun is shining and its 45 degrees outside.

 

Did you make your swap joe

 

Let's start with I delivered in Riverside, and Walmart took 4 hours to unload. No biggie. I went to Vernon to load, appt wasn't till 15:00 and they weren't taking me any earlier. I am to meet a new driver to swap trailers with, but he doesn't know how to work his Qualcomm and his "phone went out". All day it was a mystery on where he was or when he was going to get there. Back to loading, finally got loaded at 5:30 and enter LA traffic. One hour later I make it to Pacioma and they say I have to go back because they forgot to put 4 pallets on. They took another 1.5 hours and off to meet this driver. Got him to meet me in Coso Junction on 395 and learned he doesn't know how to run a reefer, an elog or a Qualcomm. Get to walnut one hour late. lol. And now in Santa Ana to go to Woodburn, OR for Monday. No rest for the wicked.

 

so exactly how does the other driver get down the road
not utilizing Qualcomm
I suppose if he knew what he was doing there wouldn't have been a swap
dumb question

 

Sorry about your day, Joe. I hope you don't have too many of them.

 

Oh, I'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the 101. Love it......
