Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Well, I knew it was gonna be tight getting to my delivery with the hours I had available...and delays over the last 3 days forced me to reschedule. Thanks to traffic, construction, and lots of US routes, I was gonna come up about 1.75 hrs short of making my delivery Tuesday morning. But, that's another nice thing about hauling glass, most places aren't JIT deliveries like grocery warehouses, they just bumped it out 24 hours, and...I am now the rack return truck, so, I get an extra $35 for strapping down a load of glass racks, which don't weigh all that much, so the return trip should be a breeze...which is what this area needs...a nice cool breeze...because here in Lake Havasu it is

 

Ughhh, I don't think I could ever live in a climate like this. I'll take my snakes, gators and hurricanes.

The truckstop is warning people when they give out showers that they don't have cold water...and people are misunderstanding their statement (including me). What people are thinking is that they only have hot water from the water heater...what they are meaning is, their water supply doesn't come out of an underground source, it comes directly from the pumping station in above ground piping, and when it is 100°+, the water is naturally heated by mother nature, and they have no way to cool it. So, they should say "we only have warm or hot water"...the folks behind the counter say, in the summer, they turn off their water heater because they simply don't need it. I guess, every little bit they save heating water helps cover the cost of a/c usage.

 

I decided to take the scenic route back to KS. I managed to make it from Barstow to Grand Junction, CO today...675 miles, with 7 drive minutes to spare. Would have had more, but Vegas was doing construction and had I-15 down to 1 lane, and then there was some foul weather rolling thru the hills of UT, even had some pea size hail...and I have less than 6000 lbs, so I took it easy. It makes me drive extra cautious when I see that white froth on the roads. I forgot how beautiful that stretch of road is...well, this time of year at least

 

Nope, forward facing only. And those are for incident protection for the most part.

 

Once they start that, I retire. I read recently that the Ontario Canada courts ruled that driver facing cameras were an invasion of privacy in regards to a Sysco driver's lawsuit....maybe our justice system will take a hint.
