Running With Shipex

Congrat's, Bumper!

 

Thanks Bumper! It's really been fun sharing our experiences while you been here at ShipEX. Gonna miss ya! Hopefully I will see ya on down the road someday! Be safe my friend and enjoy your retirement. Congrats!

 

Well the trip to Tennessee is off to a rough start. Day two ended with the RV trailer under belly protection blanket getting snagged on an unk object on the roadway and being torn off. This caused the power lines, water lines and hydraulic lines to fall down onto the highway and got shredded. So now we re unable to open the slide outs and have no running water. We found out about this when we stopped for fuel in Amarillo at the Loves. A very nice much younger truck driver came to my old assess rescue and crawled under the trailer and zip tied the lines up to the trailer frame so that we could continue. As luck would have it we crossed into Oklahoma and the AC quit working in our F350. So we stopped in OKC on Sunday morning and getting them both repaired. Way too hot to be driving without AC. The compressor was shot and has been replaced. Now waiting for the trailer to be finished in the morning.

The joys of moving!!

 

It's always something.....

 

All fixed, back on the road and at our campground in Bristol Tennessee. Looking at houses tomorrow and Saturday.

 

Nice!

 

Hey...just curious...what are the ShipEx trucks governed at ? And, do they have any manuals at all ?

 

70mph. Very few manual trans and only after 5 years at the company.

 

Did you mean you have to be at the company 5 years to request a manual transmission?

 

Yes.
