My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

Have a great Christmas.

 

I'm sitting in the B/T lot at the Menards DC in Plano, IL, with lots of other bob tails...and a whole lot of ice. Apparently, my load, which was supposed to be "late," isn't even ready. So it's a 10 for me here.

Everyone please drive safe out there. This is not the time of year for family tragedies, no matter whose family. Have happy holidays!

 

I just wanted to avoid any controversy.....I tend to call it Real Football, which has a habit of causing a little upset here in my adopted country!!!

Looking for Liverpool to move to the top of the league today - at least until Monday!!!

 

Spent the night at the Denver yard....heading back into the MW to get into position for my Christmas home time....dropped my load here and amazingly got an empty (albeit an old old Great Dane) and get this DEAD HEADING TO EDWARDSVILLE,IL!!! That is what I call top stuff.....may possibly get held up in Kansas with the bad weather coming, but we will see....should not hold me up too long hopefully!!! 10341 here.....and currently more black than smurf blue thanks to the weather!!

 

Do you still have the Buski (sp?) trailers with the smaller tires (tyres) in the fleet?

Had to haul one from Colorado to drop in Mira Loma and stressed a little going over I70 because of no chains to fit. Was required carry rime but saw no snow in the forecast.

 

I've made my delivery for this day and am now sitting ##### end into a dock that is steep and snow packed. And of course, I have an International, which hates snow of ANY depth. I've shoveled what I can and the Menards guys tell me they will put some sand down...so we'll see if it works.

Fortunately, I have 9 hours left on my 70! Just in case, you know...

 

Oh. I also got an email from Ms S. Green asking if my "transition plans" still include a January 20 orientation date. I assured her they do!

 

QUESTION for anyone still reading. Does GTI use super single tires on any of their trucks?

 

Not any trucks I have seen

At the Indy yard to get the APU worked on tomorrow. Its been nothing but rain for 2 days now. Thanks god its not snow or we would be buried in it.

 

I am in the middle of a real crap storm here at home... high winds... strong thunderstorms and tornado alerts all around....going to he a fun night...

No super singles
