OTR with the Carolina Kid

Well guys got that load to Albany. On my way there I was goin down US 80 thru Selma, Alabama and had a Alabama Trooper pull me to do a level 1 Inspection. I was kinda nervous bout it, i guess because It was my first one. He said everything checked out fine and gave me a paper to mail to the company stating the same. When I got to Albany, got a load picking up at Georgia Pacific out in Cedar Springs. Let me tell you, this place is in the middle of nowwhere literally. You have to check in at this little booth then get back on the main road and turn down a mile long dirt road to get to the drop lot. I thought for sure I was lost. Picked the load up and was out of hours, asked GP if I could sleep there and they said, "No, unless your 100% completely out of hours", so I drove up to that little Gas Station bout a mile up the road and parked it there for the night. Got rolling in the am and dropped that load in Cville and then went to Owens in ATL to pick up my Eden load that gets me home for hometime. Got to Miller bout 1pm yesterday and no lie, they was backed up bout 20 trucks trying to get in. They had the usual check in lanes closed because they were fixing something, so there running everybody across the outbound scales. When I was leaving they was backed up all the way to the Miller Truck Entry sign, no joke! Baritone, preciate your advice on the air line that hooks to the glad hands, am going to pick one up as soon as I head back out. Hope everybody has a good weekend, and everybody be safe.

 

Wats up guys. Came off hometime yesterday and got a load heading up to Westfield, Mass. Been here before so wasn't that bad. Plus they got that roundabout construction bout done with. From there got a load picking up in Mountain Top, PA. It's a 2 stopper that's headin for Wisconsin. Currently at the TA in Bloomsburg. This loads goin to be close on time. Got to be in Wisconsin Thursday mornin at 8am. Time to hammer down!

 

Well got my 2 stopper to Wisconsin delivered and on time. Hit ready for dispatch and was told no loads available. Asked dispatch if I could just head on up to Richfield and he said 10-4. Got to Richfield and noticed my mud flap looked funny on the left side. Checked it out and sure enough the support bar is all but cracked in half and goin to break in two anytime. Since I'm also due for a B service might as well get it all taken care of. Not to mention I think dot can give you a ticket for the mudflap. So hear I sit at the mercy of the shop, lol. Hope everybody is doing good.
