Leaving for Orientation 10-13-12 in Tulsa,Ok

Thanks AZ. I just started using it. And it does smoke a lot at start up. I have only had this truck for 3 months. I think I will have to get it checked out. In Denver expecting snow tonight.

 

Quit being sissies and leave the #### thing off. Just get yourself a warmer comforter for the winter time. And crack your vent when you go to sleep.




Was I right about going to Merritt?

 

Yep you were right about Merritt. WE didn't have my trailer ready til after midnight. Said they were backed up bc of the non stop rain. Taking some return material from Merritt back to WE. So probably get another load out of there and probably not be so lucky this time.

 

Yeah sometimes they do get backed up. sucks but at least you can stay on site there. maybe this time you'll get the south dakota-iowa run. Those are always super easy to secure/tarp.


Or the 15 stopper through NM-AZ-CA

 

Noggin why were you terminated from Melton? I am curious seeing as you drive for PAM and you show desperation to be back on board with Melton

 

Ok...and you are? You join and the same day assume things incorrectly about me.....

 

Hey Noggin, Hope you are healing up so you can rejoin us out here. Going to Laredo with a load that is to go south of the border. What tips can you offer on Laredo in the areas of do/don't? I have a couple of minor maint issues that I would like to get fixed if possible. I will get there on Sunday with sked time of 0800 Monday. I have read the blue manual we got at orientation, but could use some real world guidance.

Azcannon, feel free to put your $0.02 in since it IS your thread!

 

well i got this a little late...lol how did you like laredo? basically, do not take your truck anywhere. if you HAVE to go to walmart in your truck, go to the one down loop 20. there are two, one 16 miles down, and one just a couple. go to the first one. they are both good, i'd prefer the second one, but with elogs is hard to get there and back in 30. always try to get there early, dont wait to get to the term so you can sign in. there can be a long line especially when freight is slow. other than that, like cannon said, you just gotta figure it out for yourself lol..


oh, and I am not coming back to Melton. I got a job at FedEx, I go for my road test in the AM at 10. I will still come here, just as I still go to PAM and answer any questions I can, and you guys still have my number. I'm available if you have any questions or need help on how to secure something or what. Or, if you ever get to Houston, hit me up. I'll buy you a beer.

Oh..and I have equipment for the first guy to make it to houston. (straps, bungees, my 4' tarps--but those are not free lol--, etc) I don't know what I'll get rid of since I do plan on buying my own truck still, down the road, but we'll see what happens.
