Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

No way, no how would I do all that moving trying to find a truck that will run. Rental car or plane ticket, even on my own dime, and I'll call after the 1st to check if mine is ready. To be treated like that is unprofessional in my mind.

 

But Tim said they have the best mechanics....and it must be true....because it was in the company propaganda video

 

Coming through Chattanooga is always a cluster. I made it relatively unscathed through Nashville and a 30 min backup in Knoxville. Southbound 81 in TN had a dead stopped backup for probably 10 miles. Thought I’d check out the raphine petro tonight. This is going to be a good hike for a shower..

 

I’ve got far bigger issues than any supposed karma. Any potential truck problems I *may* face are out of my control.

 

I decided to get a 34 in at this TA before running my load. Can still make deadline but would have to run a minimum of 600 miles a day to do it.

Also the load still counted as a pre-load as far as the warehouse was concerned. Dropped my empty and told that I can just connect to the trailer that was in the dock getting loaded.

Got there at 620am and was told it should be ready before 9am...we'll it wasn't ready till around 130pm.

Have a HUGE stack of bills that's over 30 pages long with po numbers. One of the msg's for this shipper says for cosco loads we have to scan every page. Thankfully this is just dropping at the shippers other facility in Kansas so won't have to scan all that.

 

I stuffed a small towel inside of mine. Inserted through the bottom. Yes that cover rattle will drive you batty.

My F150 did the same thing. I took the cover off and put a small piece of dishwasher sponge inside and put it back together, no more rattle.
