Running with JCT, Part Deux

Yeah but you can usually request the 40 pay route. I do it all the time. Keeps the load in "swap territory" as they tell me. That and I like the 40, less flipping trailers in high winds.

 

Hey, I had XD2 on my PRO star. Loved them. Got 385k on them when I traded to my new 14 and they still had over 50% tread on them

 

Well today I started my annual project that I hate....painting tires. So time consuming, but I guess when i pick up a trailer at a customer and go 30 miles down the to the shop to get 4 tires replaced AND a friggin light fixed, I have time to start on them. Thank you, you crappy, sh1thead driver that is apparently blind.

 

Ha ha, I flatbedded for 5 and a half years and that's what I was always told been reefering for 12 now

 

Well the tire I had patched this AM, this PM during postrip I see a huge chunk of missing tread so the entire tire will have to be replaced. This will be Tire #2 replaced in 6 weeks that I have been leased on.

 

What kind of drive tire? Two of my drives lost huge chunks of tread too, brand new under 20k miles...

 

I wouldn't swap this load anyway. And there are lots of our trucks on 80 anyway. I was also in no hurry to drive through 100+ degree heat anyway. Plus my son as never seen Nevada, so, now he gets to add that to his map of states he's been to.

 

So I get a pre-plan to load in Belvidere Illinois at Atlas Cold Storage. My drop off from my previous load was 10 a.m. in Chicago, this pickup I was at 11 a.m. . Before I accepted the pre-plan I told them that it's going to be impossible. They told me just get there as soon as you can. I get unloaded plot my route put a truck wash in the middle of it for the trailer and tell them I'll be there 3 hours after drop. They say that's fine that'll work. Just showed up at Atlas and they said that they're leaving in 10 minutes and I'll have to come back Monday.

 

Surrrrvey says!

I would be like so how much are you going to give me in layover pay?
