Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Ended up just being a brake chamber, but it was leaking bad enough that it would drain enough air out of the system at idle, the airbags wouldn't inflate. I was down, counting the time spent calling our breakdown peeps, less than 2 hours. So, all in all, not too bad of a breakdown (or should I say brake-down)

 

Nothing going on out of Spring Hill for me after I get there this afternoon (Saturday), so....but I can't really complain. I had 2650 miles, $50 border crossing pay, $35 reload pay (took loaded rolling racks up, bringing empty racks back), at least 1 $150 layover day and a 36 hr restart in case they run me back over the border next week. The only down side is it's suppose to be a rainy weekend in Spring Hill, so I'll have to be a couch potato.

 

Back to Canada I go. Load picks up after 1900 tonite out of Spring Hill, delivers to St. Augustin, on Friday, then probably right back here to Spring Hill. Just under 3000 paid miles plus Canada pay, and hopefully they have empty racks for an extra $35.

 

Headed back to Spring Hill from St. Augustin, QC with 4 empty racks. Decided I didn't want to brave Toronto during 5 o'clock rush hour on a Friday...with rain coming down, so I crossed back over at the 1000 islands/I-81 crossing. Ended up being a wise move, there was just 1 truck ahead of me at the border booth.

Was rather warm up there yesterday. Ahead of this latest storm that dumped on MN and the dakotas, the low was sucking warm air up all the way to Canada. I saw 70+ temps north of the border. But it got real windy, and rainy.

Stopped at the Waterloo, NY Petro last night. This is my neighbor....guess it was real windy,...or, he is practicing to be a tree trimmer when he goes broke (lease driver for Western Express )

 

Those are some old bridges though, kinda like some of the ones that were on the US route between I-55 in Mo and Paducah, KY. Just wide enough for 2 oposing trucks to pass without smacking mirrors. Wish I would have had time to stop and climb the observation tower and sightsee a bit.

 

I don't know which is worse, the fact that there is a show called "Dr. Pimple Popper" or the fact that there is a large enough audience for such a show to attract sponsors.
