Parked Here for the Night

Back at home for a long weekend, unless someone calls with a tall stack of money to entice me back to the truck before Tuesday.

This week seemed a little longer due to a snafu on my load appointment in Dallas early Tuesday, that turned into Wednesday. So Rocks, I'll take a 6 hour live load over that any day LOL. A total contrast on Walmart DCs this trip. Terrell, TX was awesome. Although it was just one skid dropped there, they were nice in the shipping office and did me a favor as well - rearranged two back rows of pallets remaining on the truck. Knuckle-draggers at the freezer had left a tall single in the back, so no hard left turns on the first segment LOL. Pulled away and they had moved stuff around to where I really didn't even need a load lock. Top notch, and probably the best moment of the whole trip. Being in and out of there in an hour was a nice bonus and helped my remaining trip plan tremendously.

Monroe, GA was not so nice. I don't know if the ladies behind the glass left their souls at home and were trying to steal everyone else's or what. I kinda already knew what I was in for there, so just soldiered thru it and got my bills back 4 hours later.

Seems the work I had done in Dallas Monday afternoon cured the drive tire hop. So there is that, too. However I could now detect a little tire hop on the trailer since my truck is settled down. Since that one doesn't even start until about 72 mph and I can barely feel it, I probably won't waste any time tracking it down. I'll watch the tires and do something if they start wearing funny.

Another upside was scheduling my run back with a ten hour break in Ruston, LA to visit with some biker friends I haven't seen in a few years. I let them drag me off kicking and screaming for a second Whataburger fix for the week and some catching up.

 

Pulled the brakes at home for the night last night. Got my ol girl out in the shop now getting her ready till the next rain. This time its 2 tires, one st of brakes and an air leak.

It was just a Mcdonalds burger , but since they just opened probably a week or so ago they are actually friendly. Lol
