Running with JCT, Part Deux

I've seen some messed up wrecks, including a Prime truck upside down but 100% intact and the other day a guy put it driver seat deep in the back of another trailer. But poop that's messed up. Glad they're ok.

My suggestion to get that out of your head is old Looney Toons, especially the banned politically incorrect ones. My go to ones are WW2 era or the one with rabbit season, duck season.

 

I just gave my best friend/second seat a reality check.

We were burning some extra time on a trip in Cleveland, Ohio and he found a chick that was DTF. I told him we need to start rolling by 8pm (which gave him plenty of time to do his thing).

8pm comes and goes, no sign of Mike. At 8:20, I text him. He texts back saying he'll be back at 10pm, some of her friends showed up. I responded that if he's not back by 9pm, I'm leaving with or without him.

9pm rolls around, still no Mike. I text him one last time and roll up to the girl's house & blast the horn... wait 5 minutes, then continue on to the consignee.

At 10pm, he called asking where I was. I told him, and advised him to get a bus ticket to Milwaukee if he wanted to continue driving, because I'm taking some time off to get the truck fixed after making this delivery.

i hope he enjoyed himself, because riding that gray dog is gonna be a real hassle. When it's time to go, it's time to go. I hope he's learned that lesson.

 

Went from Dallas,Tx down to Tyson in Center,Tx yesterday. Load wasn't ready (not surprising). Talked to a couple other JCT drivers there. I go to bed and 0100 the guard knocks on my door and says my load is ready. I tell her that I will pick it up at 0500 when my 10 hour is done. Stopping for restroom break and taking this load to Wal-Mart in Corinne, Ut. This load is about 1600 miles total for me. I am sitting at around 1960miles right now and hoping for another 1000+ to really be able to take advantage of the no truck payment week.

 

I have to ask............DTF?

 

gotcha. figured as much but was trying to figure why it needed three letters.

 

D'oh...I always forget Kilo...

 

was wondering where the Kenya came from..............when all else fails make something up and grin. LOL

Macho - glad you are getting some miles because I am sure not. Sat 25 hrs between runs yesterday and picked up 830 mile run to Jacksonville, FL that delivers Sunday at 4 am. Sent in macro 41 hoping to swap since would be on Florida at 1 PM saturday. Never got a response.

I hope I get load on Sunday because I am tired of sitting!!

 

Of course!! Looney Tunes, much like bacon and sleep, fixes EVERYTHING! Seriously, I'm just happy that they are ok.

How on earth could a Prime truck, or any other truck for that matter, end up intact on it's fiberglass roof? Their Cascadia was crushed in like a soda can, and there was fiberglass all over the place from where they apparently drove right through the other trailer.
