Ready, Set,,,,Here I go.....

I called Celtic this morning to no avail so, spent 3 hours looking for loads to cover me all week. I found a good one, lumber load no doubt...hmmm, that is paying me 3.67pm for 210 miles, dh was 88, plus the 110 miles I dh'ed to pick up at Red River Army Depot but, that didn't work out. Anyway, got another load after I drop this lumber that picks up 50 miles away and delivers to Wilson, NC,,,which works out for me because I have to stop in Bristol to pickup new tires. All I have to do now is find a load from NC to west of Chattanooga to pick up my pickup and camper and than, find a partial to MI. That all sounds to good for me so, it won't happen but,,,,that being said, I have already located two loads that will get me where I want to go, in TN. Will call on them tomorrow. BTW, I took a chance,,,which I should never do,,,and didn't tarp this lumber. Well lo and behold, it rained off and on too much for me so, I parked and through the tarps on. 45miles to deliver just to take them back off...lol just my luck. The pipe I will be picking up tomorrow needs tarped as well,,,,go figure. It pays like $1.55 pm...crappy but, it was ALL I could find to get me to NC.

Also, on my way to pick up today's load, I get a call from my CEO. He tells me that Celtic agreed with what he had to say about the contract and amended it..go figure.

 

I forgot to mention,,, The other day, I picked up a load of "crane pads" and the shipping location was a mess. I ended up getting thick mud all over my clean truck, cracked a few plastic parts getting out and breaking off my mud flap hanger. So, I bought two new hangers and light bars to go under each hanger, to make me feel better, lol

 

The main reason I got them is because when I BT,,,4 wheelers act as though they can't see my tail lights that are 6" apart. Wider Indicators and brake lights make for safer roads...lol

 

Made it to Bristol, VA in time to get my new drive tires but, I am not happy and, I bent the bumper on my step a little bit while parking....erggggg!

 

Today I drove the last 250 miiles to Wilson, NC and parked at the Petro in Kenly. I found a light pole that was cemented good enough, to hook a strap to and the other end to my trailer bumper. It took a while but, I got it bent back almost perfect. Good enough for me anyway... I also removed old mudflap hangers and installed new ones, I will hook up my new lights tomorrow. Had a good day over all...
