Superior Carriers 2011

Well, after a very slow week last week I got some decent miles in this week.

It worked out last week anyway. My pickup truck decided to have a major meltdown. It blew a head gasket. So while I had the head at the machine shop I did several things. New clutch, complete exhaust system, head gasket(of course), water pump, plugs, wires, belt, and a few other things.

I left for Quebec last Sunday and got back yesterday(Thursday). 2200 miles round trip. Out and back load. Went pretty well..just gotta brush up on my French! Is that scale open or closed?

 

you guys must be busy........no postings.

 

I am sitting at the Markham Terminal right now. I unloaded in St. Louis this morning then headed over here. I have to go load at Burnham IL in the morning going to Mckees Rock PA for Thursday.

So far so good I guess.

Showed up at the yard to pick up my truck and roll and noticed the "E-Log Equipped" sticker on the side. Yep, I now have the new QC. Not hooked up on e-logs yet but it won't be long now. They could have at least warned me! It took me thirty minutes to figure out how to send a pickup trailer message

 

Nice, glad to hear it's a good week. I got a load out of Markham that picked up at a Penreco over in Burnham IL. It went to Mckees Rocks over near Pittsburgh. I then spent the night at Neville Island at the tank wash before Karns City told me to get the tank washed there. 5 1/2 hours later I left the tank wash. During that time I got put on a load going to Woodbury GA, which was nice b/c it would get me through the house and give me a chance to go see a doctor about this nasty cold I seem to have come down with but...

The load fell through so I am now sitting at Karns City. I load tomorrow at Penreco heading for St. Louis for Sunday morning at 7:30.

 

I did relieve them of a couple hot dogs but then I relieved myself of them

It's funny, they sent me a load coming out of Ranbar but then it cancelled and they sent me to Karns..it's all good though.

I loaded out of Penreco in Karns this morning heading to St. Louis. It originally delivered on Monday at 7:30 but they decided they wanted it Sunday..no problemo here.

I had to do a little calling around, but I got a load out of Valparaiso IN heading down to Abingdon Va for Tuesday which puts me back to the house Tuesday afternoon.

That drive out of Karns can get a little hairy if you aren't paying attention. This winter ought to be real intersting.

 

I didn,t mind once I got to Karns. It was nice and cool and everyone was pretty nice. I got to do some laundry and the loading at Penreco was simple. I came back down 268_68_422_79_70 to head for St Louis. I just eased out of there.
