Running with JCT, Part Deux

You can park inside the gate or on the street

 

They might let you drop depending on when you get here. We got couple load on yard that goes out

 

They are letting me drop, eta 1545. Got load going to TN. If reefer is 3/4 full do I need to top it off?

 

3/4 or more is all that is required.

 

Not anymore. To many drivers were trashing the restroom and no longers allows drivers to use it.

The drive on 80 through Wyoming was not an easy one today. Most of 80 is ice with blowing snow. I almost lost it when the drives hit a patch of black ice and put me at a 45° angle. Luckily I managed to get it back and that was at 35mph.

Saw one of our trucks in the median with the trailer over a guardrail about 30miles west of Rawlins. The driver was ok and sitting in her truck and WSP was already there. I don't remember what the truck number was, but look like she hit some ice and jack knifed into the guardrail.

 

Well, made it through the house. Got to US Foods in Tampa and "fun" began. Bad instructions from a rent-a-cop, 5 hour backup to get a door, and getting a door with a short area, and bad attitudes all around. $150 lumper fee and one box OS&D later I get out of there. The box will haunt me later. I head for the T/A got a few hours sleep and $15 rip-off parking I got to the final. Publix Gate 7 Lakeland... Joy.

2100 appointment finished at 0230... Now the 88lb box nails me across the head... JBS sold it to Harvest in Orlando. 120 mile round trip for ONE BOX OF TENDERLOINS!!!!



Now I am on a load to New Jersey for Thurs...

Just shoot me...

 

You'll get paid for those miles plus an extra stop pay

 

Tried to start apu and it wouldn't start. It just showed Eng on the display and had the fault light on. After some research and checking the oil, wires, and general look see on the unit; all I had to due was turn off the engine switch on the unit itself, go under bunk and find and press the reset button, go turn engine switch back on, turn on control panel and presto!! It started. Also downloaded the apu manuel to my phone.

 

At the Fort Worth yard, dropped my trailer for Arlington, Texas delivery and picked up one for Arlington, Tennessee delivery tomorrow at 9 pm. Will leave out around 2 am.

 

I just did the Arlington Tn delivery before going home. Very tight roads up there. Super fast unload though.
