Systems Transport

Did 702 in 10:58 and ran 699 in 10:52 the other day.

Where in WY?

 

No idea on the trivia. I delivered in Toronto last Friday then took a 34 in port Huron Mi. Monday I deadheaded to Gary to get a preloaded trailer to Calgary. I delivered that one this morning then bounced to Galloway BC to get a load of poles back to the Spokane yard where I'm picking up an oversize load going to Chicago. Should just be over length, dispatch was saying something about 60' building material of some sort.

 

I wound up doing a favor for them today and preloading another od load of steel for a guy getting in around midnight, then got my load. Turns out it's 2 70 ft I-beams. They've always compensated me pretty fair on these things. For preloading the other trailer I got $35 hourly, $20 stop, and $25 oversize. Not bad for 6 miles of driving and 45 minutes loading and strapping down

 

Well, been a lot going on for me. I had a lot fall into place the last few weeks for me. I turned in my notice today that next Friday will be my last day at System. I have nothing against the company and really am quite happy running poles, I make good money, good hometime, all that good stuff. I ended up buying my own truck and will be going out on my own authority pulling cows and step deck when the livestock slows down. It has been my goal since I've started driving to run my own show. So ramblingman, if you want a pole fleet spot there's going to be an empty truck. Hope everyone is having a good 4th of July. I'm in Fargo Nd. Tonight headed for Edmonton after which bounce down to Calgary to grab some 70' poles to Spokane.

 

Well thank you! And don't worry ill get some pictures up around the 15 th or so, the truck is in the shop having my name put on it and a few finishing details then me and the gf are going to Utah to visit family before I start running cows. I'm looking forward to it for sure, kinda nervous but I feel like it's the right thing for me right now
