Running with JCT, Part Deux

Man...8 hours to unload a single item straight pull...Associated grocers in Pearl River LA.

Also...would you look at that, a truck stop that's not a Flying J/pilot...

 

Try waiting 33 hours for the truck to come Mexico to transfer the load. Yep, happened to me here in Laredo. Got to Continental Forwarding on FM1472/Mines Rd yesterday morning at 0600. Mexico truck didn't get there til 3pm today. Had a full restart by the time everything was done.

They do allow overnight parking. And there is a little restaurant next door open during the day.

Then the APU quit working. Won't stay started. Now the QC is acting up. And I just came off home time.

 

My qc been acting funny today also.

 

Overheating? There's been a recall on the temp switches for the comfort pros.

 

I wish. It will start, then when the screen says engine run check, something sparks (I watched the start process) from the generator area and it shuts off. Can't see anything obvious that would cause it.

 

Screw that. Go back home. LOL

 

Since I live near San Antonio I would have. Would have told them call me when he gets here. Lol

 

Well, the elog part of QC is toast. I'm on paper til I get back to the yard to have it fixed along with the APU and have the 300k services done on the truck.

 

I had that happendix in laredo on a Friday but the load got cancelled after waiting. I would have been stuck in laredo all weeked if they hadn't dead headed me to a swap.

 

The load I got sent yesterday picks up here Laredo this afternoon taking empty wine bottles to Cali. I've been to this shipper before and know they are really picking about the trailers being completely dry. So, got the trailer washed out yesterday so it can dry all night and this morning.
