The adventures of 'Team Klingon'

Monthly update.. LOL!

we are still alive and rolling. Almost done with our direct customer. His season is coming to an end (bare root trees). Boy do they make a MESS in the trailer! Also CA has been dead heading north, so there has been a couple times (like now) that we have had to D/H 500 miles just to make sure we are up there for him. OUCH!

We are (besides the lack of loads) liking the 'lane' we've been running... North and south... Past the house... We get to squeeze the kids a bit more than before, and that's a good thing!

We we are trying to find a couple of brokers that deal with our area, and have loads in this area. Not easy... Well, off to relax until my turn to drive... We are splitting this long 500 mile trip... LOL! Bye for now

 

I'll try to update soon, when I'm not so distrac..... SQUIRREL!!

 

Update... Well it has certainly been a while! We are still out here, and rolling. It's not as easy as being a company driver, or lease driver... At times I almost wish we were still doing that. Someone else finding us loads... But then I get over it and get to work 😄

I see on some FB pages the rates others are getting and think, oh we should head over there... But then I'm torn, because we have some commitments on the west coast. It's not only the rates though... Most loads are built for solo drivers, we're a team. It gets frustrating... Not that I mind having time to kick back and watch a movie, but I rather have made enough out on the road to take that time at home to watch a movie...

So so as I'm typing this, we are waiting to deliver in 4 hrs., 8 miles away, after being at the Truckstop since 5pm yesterday. Looking at load boards, trying to find a load to central CA area to cover a 'customer'. Rates heading that way SUCK! Knowing that we don't have enough $$ reserved right now to take any real time off. Knowing we have 'work' we need to do at the office/home.

We we will keep on keeping on though... And take it from there...

 

Congrats on the plunge!! <doing happy dance for you>

yeah we we are looking at DH'ing out of here... There have been a few loads of 800 miles for $1000... Where yeah, it would pay for fuel, but that's about it... SO tired of black holes!!

What lanes are you running? Maybe we will cross paths and be able to share a cup &#128516;

 

We would need to get permitted, or IFTA'ed or what ever you call it to be able to go to AK... Might look into that, but not sure when.. Right now we could pick up the produce and bring it to the border &#128077; &#128521; until we get permits.
