Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I'll find out later today when I deliver to Pube-lix in Lakeland...but I never expected to be that nose heavy with 35k. Heck, on my 1st visit with Crete, they said only scale if over 32k...but that was a dry van not a reefer.

 

Another day, another new level of hate I have for Freightliner. Left home as this push of rain started...and my intermittent wipers decided that they no longer wanted to wipe intermittently. Both intermittent settings went full auto, high speed, no matter how I cycled the switch to alter the delay. Then, they decided to work, kinda. They would wipe 2 times, stop, wipe 3 or 4 times, stop...and they would keep the number of wipes random for a minute or two...then go on high speed, even when it was only sprinkling. Then, when trying to back into my spot at home, the thing couldn't make up it's mind if it wanted to launch out of creep mode like a drag race leaving the line, or stop, one time I had to slam on the brakes to keep it from backing me into my fence because it threw off my timing...I tried 3 times and it can't make up it's mind...so, I ended up flooring the throttle, and managed my speed with the brake, and I smelled clutch real bad... I am to the point where I don't care if the clutch doesn't last another 20,000 miles...I am sick of fighting this POS Freightliner, it will function like it should or it will be in the shop in pieces. I detest these retarded pieces of junk, and the engineers that program them, that I swear they must ride the short bus shuttle to work from their special school.

 

This is my feelings on all this new driver assistance devices on modern semi's

 

The load was double stacked about 1/3 of the way back, then single stacked to about 3/4. And the last pallet was a short one, with a partial on top of it. The partial was some sort of yogurt with granola, and not one piece of shrinkwrap on it. Most of the partial was still on the pallet, but there were 5 or 6 boxes that vibrated off the stack, but no damage.

 

Pre-planned on my next load. Pick up in Albany, GA by 14:00 tomorrow going back to Mechanicsburg for Thursday. That part of Creaffer is working a lot better.
