Running with JCT, Part Deux

hey you do get your driver appreciation gift bag with stale cookies and crackers and everything else way after the fact

 

You can get any time you get through. Even after it's all over.

 

Mmmmmmm crackers

 

I should add it's while supplies last.

 

Sometimes I wonder if they'll ever realize that the one thing drivers all appreciate....

Money.

 

I don't think they ever run out though because they were still giving those things out a couple of months ago. Especially with how anal they are signing your name off a list when you pick it up.

When you don't follow the directions the local driver gave you into an area (as in I gave the other driver two maps; 1 showing the route in and the other a sat view) and make a turn down a road that you shouldn't be on.

This what a power pole support cable does to a trailer. The pole didn't come down luckily. But it cut and bent 4 support beams in a row compromising the structural integrity for being able to be unloaded. Also lucky that the entire load is forward of that the compromised area.


Update: Waiting on a trailer tech from Lufkin to get here to evaluate the damage and determine for sure weather or not it's safe fir a forklift to unload this trailer. If so, load is going to have to be rescheduled as it was suppose to deliver 20 mins ago.

Update 1445: Taking crippled trailer to Lufkin shop for transload with trailer tech as escort.

 

New trailer new problems. Loud ### blown airbag along with non-existent brakes on one axle end.

 

What is it with people tearing up the new trailers? Including the one i just dealt with and yours; that's 4 new trailers that I know of that have badly damaged. I'm beginning to think the trailers are cursed.

But really it's mire like this why we can't have nice things.
