Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Our transit sets used to blow tires all the time. You guys must use better tires then us.

 

Usually the LTL trucks when they come to our GFS warehouses usually get in and out with out to much delay.

 

I lucked out and made it 2 years before blowing one at Dayton. That's incredible considering the miles I run. They are pretty serious about tires.

And by the way, no hotel. I managed to make it back legally.

 

Ha!

 

Went to mcds (at a Pilot) and on the way back...a flatbedder turning left hit the front end of a Budweiser truck. Nothing more than a scrap, but this intersection is small, in front of a business thats has trucks in and out. Now that one road he was turning onto was blocked. Didnt see the flatbed company though

 

It's a good feeling when you make it back just under the wire and get to go home to your own bed. I can't sleep well unless I'm at home with the dogs. Our Newfie always climbs into bed with me after the wife leaves for work, and it's like having a 140 lb teddy bear. Wife has no idea, but she always wonders why I scratch behind her ears when I wake up on weekends.

 

nothing much to rant about this week. (I know, I"m a little worried myself, I might die with nothing to ##### about ). Easy run this week, Denver to Raton, meet up, drop and hook and return. means i only have to make and break one set, there's little traffic and I"m done in 8 hours and change. Doesn't pay awesome, but it's easy and efficient. Heck last night the meet guy brought a 53, (with like 4000lbs in it, almost empty), didn't even have to break a set.

 

Did two solid days of riding this week. Which I guess was fine haven't had a break like that in a while.

Tomorrow I'm out at our small drop yard in the LC. We have yards scattered all over the place there's big master yards and then smaller little yards with just a shed and nothing more. This one is a shed and nothing more.
