My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

I wish that were the case for all of us mg. My last 2 weekends have grossed me a total of 1100 miles. I decided if I was going to sit in Victoria all weekend, that I was going to get a hotel room. Might as well be comfortable.

 

Sweet. X2 on the grill. Normally when im down there and sitting, a couple of us that carry them will just set our own up and go to town. Also, thats the reason I keep a towel or two in the truck. Houston and Ft. Worth have towels, I dont understand what the deal is in Laredo. I think they are either not equipped to or just dont want to have to keep them clean.

 

In the shop, again. My muffler was starting to come off the exhaust pipe. Then after this I have to go to Houston to have my APU serviced.

 

You just can't seem to get away from that apu servicing.

I got a preplan already... after I deliver in Decatur tomorrow i'm headed to Milwaukee WI to pick up some hydrolic equipment.. the best I can tell from their website anyways... on Wednesday morning and take it to Houston for a Friday morning delivery. I think i'm getting staged to head home for next wednesday hometime.

After this load from WI i'm at 10,708 miles for the month.

 

If it's the one I'm thinking of in Milwaukee thats a pretty easy load. Just gotta get by Chicago first. lol. Todays. 92K gross.

 

would'nt you need another axle or something?

 

Unless I'm mistaken, permits can go to 40K on a tandem if the truck is equipped with axles rated to 40K or better. Add the 12K on the steer since the truck has LP22.5's and that is all they are rated to. That's 92K. Any heavier and he would've needed another axle.

 

Haha! No joke. Joe Byrd even called me yesterday wanting to know why I'm having my APU serviced within 2 months. I explained to him why and he said, "Do you know what Standby mode is?" I didn't have a clue. I'll use that next time I'm home. Still here at ThermoKing in Houston. Got a load out of Beaumont if they get me out of here soon enough. Otherwise, I'll sit another day.

 

I'm at 39520 fully fueled on the drives, got it on first try by dumb luck

Thermo King in Houston is where I got mine done the first time, they were pretty quick then again that was just a pm.

 

They caught a freon leak in mine so it took a little bit longer than normal. Once I was done there, I loaded in Beaumont and headed to Savannah and unloaded this morning. I was preplanned to go back to Texas, but after the original preplan and another load that wouldn't be ready until Monday, I got my first load not going back to Texas! About time! But, ummm, heading to Dubuque, Iowa for Monday.
