Running with JCT, Part Deux

Did fuel surcharge go up Monday I never got the message...

 

Still at 31 com. Can't remember DOE national average. Message came late around 1900 central.

 

National average 3.133

 

Plan for delays this weekend if traveling the 10 through the area.

Beaumont Police

 

Really wish I didn't have a conscience...lol

The valve on the auto air system of this trailer cracked. I think a rock hit it while I was driving so it started dumping air but if I turn off the auto air system.. No more air leak...

I'm supposed to be dropping this trailer the drop yard in California. Now I'm going to have to babysit the #######....

 

Better than the last clown we swapped with! Solo driver that couldn't make otd because he overslept. Met with him yesterday at truckstop, mud flap barely hanging on and 740 lbs heavy on drives, tandems in farthest front hole. This swap was in Albuquerque and going to WCC. I changed the mud flap myself and was confident I wouldn't be weighed and with assurances from dispatch, all would be covered, we finished the trip. My point is that the solo was an IDIOT! I even made the point of replacing mud flap in front of him. The idea was to show him how easy it was,(15 minutes), or at the least, emasculate him. I realize not everyone can change a mud flap on their own, but anyone can go to a T/A.

Or you could just pass it on to the next driver to fix!

 

Last two swaps were bad news. Both were for a particular dm who likes to call me directly. Needless to say, I won't answer when she calls next time.

 

Well I tried to get it fixed, but late afternoon on a Friday, no joy.

So the system is disabled per breakdown, and marked for repair Monday after the local delivers it.

 

I swear, I've driven on better roads in Iraq than this staging are for Kroger in Keller (Fort Worth).

 

So breakdown just called me to verify something that I'd never heard of. Asking me questions that made no sense.

To make a long confusing story short.. some towing company in Portland ME just tried to scam JCT out of a $700.00. Called breakdown, gave them my truck number and said they were me stuck in the mud needing a tow. Apparently it almost worked...
They only called me to make sure I sent in a macro 30.

I was like what are you talking about! Lol
