Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Picked up Tcalled load at Nashville to deliver 3pm Wendesday Portland TN...was told to get there asap...even though it was now 6pm...ops said they will accept anytime...get to receiver..they said Creaffer had changed appointment to Thursday 3pm...but Lincoln never told me .... so now I sit for 20 hrs.....due to yet another Creaffer muck up...they did give me $150 layover pay....big F ing deal...that makes up for nothing

 

Those interns are sure doing a superb job..

 

The bb tshirt reminded me of ssb

 

Have a nice preload heading over to Oregon from Illinois.

Waiting for a driver to tcall his load at our Juliot drop yard where I'm to take it all the way for a drop at a customer in Portland. 2000 mile run.

Only thing is we have freight also coming out of this customer and all of it goes straight down to either San Francisco or Los Angeles for live unloads at Cosco DCs.

Good chance I'll be doing a swap at final, taking a load to Cali unless they have me tcall this load again in route.

 

Is Creaffer trying out....an apu system? k

 

Would be AWESOME if they are...again. I had one back around 2005ish? Was a TriPac. Had a 2kw inverter. The AC kept that truck at 65° on the hottest days in August. Same with the bunk heater. Never had an issue. They work great...IF they're maintained properly.

After my tractor got traded, they put me in one with the Carrier APU's. That was a price of crap. Always broken. Froze to death in the winter. Always complained and was told they were getting rid of them so they weren't going to maintain them anymore. Cost cutting cut they were too expensive.

 

I thought Mr. Winny O said they would never install any again. Maybe $6-7.00 fuel changed his mind

 

Nearly had a heart attack when I went to start my truck after fueling. I turned the key and the words I remember all to well appeared on the dash - Starter Blocked.

Last time this happened I was in a hotel for 4 days and then sent to get a new truck. Thankfully it didn't come to that since it started after I turned the key off and back on but doesn't look good for the transmission.

 

Road service took longer than a Creaffer shop ... just to replace a blown trailer tire
