    Yep we are on the same page. I even take pictures of the seal and lock. When I drop a trailer, I take pictures of the temperature, seal, fuel level, etc.

    If I screw up, I’ll take a fall for it. But I as sure as hell won’t for something I didn’t do. I’ve never had any issues but am not wanting it to happen like it did to snackbar.

    Welp stuck in Oregon right now. As I entered Ontario all the billboards were saying i84 was closed to all traffic and to exit.

    There's a pilot and a loves here and I managed to just squeeze in on the dirt lot next to the loves. Hopefully it doesn't rain anytime soon or all of us parked here will be stuck.

    From the weather app it seems a snow storm further west is on going. Hopefully roads clear later so that I can make this delivery.

    Welcome to the club! 84 has been closed or had chain laws over cabbage off and on since Sunday. I managed to get to Portland, but sitting waiting on os&d. Winter storm warnings all the way to Idaho until 1700 tonight. Goodluck and safe travels.

    I'm heading up to Seattle area. Decided to disobey orders and moved slightly further to nab a parking spot at the TA further down but weight station pulling all trucks off at this exit.

    Doesn't help that my bunk heater also decided to go out at this exact time. Had this error msg before. Either the blower motor went out or what happened last time happened again where some debris got sucked into the motor and it's now in safe mode till its cleaned out.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Dropped my load at the customer yesterday, their empties are both inside their gate and in an outer lot just outside their gate. Hooked to the only air-ride trailer they had that was empty, and outside the gate (an 8401##, so it wasn't a brand new one). Sent in my empty call. Received a 'trailer unavailable' message(we don't haul back out of there). Sent in a confirmation message, and even sent in the canned message where you put in the plate number to verify the correct location and trailer number. Butthead2.0 replies that the computer says trailer number is invalid, no such number....I even check inside the trailer to verify that the inside number matches the outside. Finally said the hell with it and went back in the gate and picked another trailer, one that was kinda clean, but not clean enough that a blow out would do. Told BH2.0 that I was heading back down to the washout, and that I was down to just over an hour on my 70, so I'll be ready in the morning. It's now almost 11 am the next morning and still no load. All I get when inquiring about when I'll be moving is ''working on it". The bottom must have fallen out of freight in this area, or else they're trying to put together a couple of loads to get me home by Friday. 1st time this has happened since I came back.

    Someone most love me cause I received a 2700 mile preplan. Picks up just 20 miles from my delivery and has 7 days to live unload at a place in Georgia.

    Let's see if this snow storm closer causes that load to fall off...

    First time have 2 long runs back to back. Current run was 2600 and now a 2700.

    A ghost from the past...and it's still on the road. Wonder if it qualifies for antique plates
