Roehl Driver Check In

My pickup window was 1000 to 1200 today. Got there a little before 1100 and went right to the scale and the north dock. I have been there maybe 10 times and so far only 2 bad experiences - one was because of a thunderstorm, the other because their computer system was down. Have only had to spend the night once. Just think positively and make the best of whatever hand you're dealt,,,

 

I think I beat you to it. Guy just backed and hit my mirror, hear the clunk while in bunk. Had to get on air horn. Then I walk up and this dude I'd nervous and I can tell right away he is new and not really knowing what he's doing. I help him back in basically like a trainer on a lot, standing on his steps and guiding him in, he should not be out here by himself. Luckily all he did was fold the mirror in and knock the crossbar off. I really feel bad for the guy. I told him, if you're not sure get out and look, don't worry about what other drivers might say. Would you rather feel a little embarrassed or end up paying for something you crunched because of pride.

 

Hm.

Guess ill just be cruising the vistas today.

 

Home, they canceled that Berlin, Jersey load on me as when the assignment came up it was not a relay.

 

I think that's a 1 pointer, times 3

 

So yeah was in and out of logan alluminim. But i managed to trip up the concret steps there. Now my knee is twice its normial size hurts like a mofo.

 

Slice it open with a scalpel, if you don have one a box cutter works just as good. Green liquid will proceed to fall out. Just drain the liquid out, but keep in mind that aliens will be attracted to the liquid so don't leave it in your truck.

After you patch up your knee gash, put a hello kitty bandaid on it.






*Oh and all this will be extremely painful, do not try this outside of a hospital

 

Heck man, I didn't put loads in until a little over a month ago. I wasn't even aware of it. I was always thinking the stuff you put in covered it. I never even looked at the load tab under the HOS menu. Even now most times I don't remember to put it in until one or two days later. Working on it though. Just like the DVIR. Got a call the other day about not doing it, even though I have, just a couple of times now it's been under 2012. I actually got really irritated and told my FM that they can stick the 2 up their ### and fix it. Just a minor thing, and was told well it's a legal document etc... I said yeah, but the the cops out here are not nuts on a number like that, and if it's paper they will ssay just change it from a 2 to a 3. Of course at that time I had just gotten up, and I am not a morning person at all.
