New start at Superior Carriers

Those sub stations can be interesting.

Had to back in off the road for one then serpentine around a bunch of equipment before blindsiding onto a plastic containment pad they had set up. Had to have a guy with a fork lift move stuff around that was in the way as I went. Had about 3 guys spotting though so that was good. One of them told me "Be careful of those lines next to the pad, they are live and 80,000 volts"

Had another one where as soon as I dropped the trailer I was stuck in loose gravel. They pulled me out with a bulldozer and reworked the gravel for the next day when I had to come get the empty.

 

Company policy is pretty much the same as it has been. Just tell the truth and don't post negative stuff about customers.

I personally haven't been on as much because I run the same out and back loads over and over and its pretty boring to post about. I consider myself "semi-retired" meaning I ask for a lot of weekends off and am perfectly content to run 1 3 day load a week. That's what I will do this week after a 4.5 day Labor Day weekend.

I did run good last week though. 3,000 miles Sunday to Friday sleeping in the truck 4 nights and through the house Tuesday night to take my wife out to dinner for our 31st wedding anniversary. Its football season now and I don't plan on missing any Carolina Panther home games except for the Monday nighter against the Colts.
