Stevens Transport aviary

And here I thought only Stevens drivers did that. 12'9". I'm surprised the truck made it through without any damage.

 

Jeez, I thought Walmart drivers were supposed to be some of the best.

 

They showed up about 5:30. I was parked in front of their gate...

 

I was delivering @ Cheyenne Walmart 2 days ago and a Walmart driver jackknifed right in front of the DC, Oh the irony lol. Once I finally made it there and checked in he was being towed into the property.

 

I decided to take a couple days home time and sit the latest storm out. I doubt I'd be moving anyway so I took advantage of the opportunity for some adult beverages. Snowing pretty good here in eastern Iowa. Not sticking to the roads as yet.

 

Parked back in Ontario. Got to 7th stop, two skids, find out one of them is the wrong skid. The skid I have left should have gone to 5th stop. 5th stop got a skid and signed for it. It was delivered yesterday. They claim they got the right one and it has all been processed, bit the skid I have has a PO that matches the one they signed for.

So here I sit waiting for them to sort it all out. I am down to about an hour for the week so nothing is happening today anyway.

Oh, did I mention the 5th stop is 330 miles away?

At least the weather is beautiful.

 

One small (temporary) victory for the trucking industry. http://cdllife.com/2013/top-truckin...-fights-citys-parking-ban-wins-small-victory/

 

I saw that on their facebook feed. Always a plus when politicians actually listen.

 

APU is out again. This makes 5 times in the 7 months I have been on this truck. 543k miles... are they going to sell this thing eventually?

 

Arrived flying j in Avoca, IA. Another 7 days of gradfleet done. High winds, icy patches...the brochure for trucking sure looked a lot different.

Five hours to go till 34 reset, but after the Werner rig jacked in front of me, I'm done for tonight. Driver ok, just pulled in behind me, towed, but pixxed off.

Lately, I've been reset twice. Both loads dispatched to me 24 to 36 hrs late. I run as hard as I can, max out hours while doing Stevens safety rules, but still can't complete runs. DM says managing time wrong, need to pick up pace.

We'll see......
