Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

i quit Facebook over a year ago. Ain't going back. I can do without the constant drama. I'm also better off without knowing what everyone is thinking all the time, what they are eating, where they go on vacation,etc... lol
Guess I'll stay in the dark if that's how Tony is communicating with drivers now....

Got to Gaylord at 5 pm and my trailer was in the door. Some lazy driver dropped a trailer with 3 alarm codes on the reefer instead of dealing with it. So I had to drive back to Coon rapids so they could fix the broken wires. The shop had it fixed in 10 minutes. I HATE other drivers that stick the next driver with their problems. Selfish ########.... at the best, they didn't pretrip it before they picked it up in Coon Rapids to drag down there. Just plain lazy...

Heading out in the AM to Garland Texas for a Monday AM delivery. Then reload Monday afternoon in Dallas headed to Concord NC. Then I'm taking a week off. I will have been out 4 weeks...

 

You know I feel your pain as far as trailer is concerned! Had the trailer I'm presently hooked to in the shop twice this week for the same alarm. Not good when you need it to cool a frozen load and you're in Georgia or Oklahoma. Anyway, as soon as I can get this POS to one of the yards that is where it will stay.....

 

So avoid Fargo the second week of Sept...sorry just couldn't resist

 

I solved the problem by not uszing their scales, most times I'm doing a drop and hook anyway so I just use the gage or scale elsewhere unless I'm running south on 29...

 

On my way to Vineland, NJ for a 0800 delivery on Monday.
Got a reload from Vineland Monday morning going to Sturtevant, WI that is scheduled to deliver @0300 Tuesday morning. Over 800 miles.
Apparently my truck is a Ferrari.
Who in the world scheduled this?
This smells like a CH Robinson broker load.
I reckon I can get it sorted Monday.

 

I avoid both yards like the plague.
Out of sight, out of mind.

 

Well I delivered my last load for Magnum yesterday. 2 yrs 3 months to the day from orientation.

Just wanted to once again thank all of you guys that are active on this thread for all of the help and tips since before I even joined up. I highly suggest the other noobs read back and follow this
thread.

Magnum has been awesome for me but, I just can't stay away from the wife and little ones for so much time any longer.

Hired on with Waste Management doing roll-off based just 3 miles from the house so...

Driving truck and your help saved my life for real. God bless, and keep the shiny side up!!

 

Great for you, be safe and I hope all works out well for you guys!

 

Good Luck Bro!!

 

did you try to scale your load with their broke ### scale? they need to block that off.. i was in the trainers truck when we tried it and he told me "do not stop and hammer it" lol I was super wigged out going through the mud to get out of that place..
