Van Wyk Inc.

Yeah I was there...but You know as well as I that stuff is easy to forget... and it looked like she had a lot going on all at once....hell mike even called and asked about a load up there for ya...

 

Uggg I have been idling a lot this month so far....its stupid hot out.....and I love all these anti idle states.....cause all you here is the idling of trucks at the rest areas and truck stops....its just too #### hot and since I have been driving at night a lot I am sleepimdng during the hot part of the day.......

On another note my installed Sirius radio started working in this truck.....I had my XM reciever hooked up cause I couldn't switch to a Sirius account...but the Sirius started working...so no complaints

 

I just got off the phone with her and she didn't remember the conversation but its all good. She said its not that big of deal as long as I get my miles for the month of August. Since my average is 14K a month right now, don't think that'll be a problem either...LOL!

 

Yeah this running back and forth betWeen the Midwest and east coast really ticks up the miles....I love it.....

Right now I am getting loaded on the freezer side of the warehouse I just delivered too....how cool is that...deliver to the reefer side then pick up 3 doors down at the frozen side....

What I am really enjoying about this company is the fact that I don't feel like my time gets wasted sitting and waiting for a load...or an answer to a question..., or better yet running stupid errands....cause they seem to understand time is money...

 

I'm starting to wish i never left the house, went into dayton, va for a ld delivering tomorrow morning, but as soon as i get on I 64 west in va and get up on the first big hill, i lose power and the check engine light, and with the shipper not finishing loading till last nite, i had just enough time when i came off my sleeper split. Sitting here in charleston waiting to get the engine code read. Got a hold of sheldon and waynesboro, waynesboro was helpful, but as usual its hard to get a straight answer about whats going to happen with this mess.

 

[h=6]Got my preplan to relaunch tomorrow. The good news is I don't need to leave the house till 1100. The better news is the load heads be back through the Mother Ship to get my truck back. The bad news I have to be in N. Sioux Falls, SD at 0700 Friday morning. So another overnight driving...ugh![/h]

 

I have been getting engine lights lately......but only when I let off climbing a hill...I looked it up for mine...its a lack of boost pressure on one...and the other exhaust temp sensor reading too cool....not worried about either since they clear when I cycle the ignition...I will have the shop look at it when I run through the mothership...

 

Chilling at the Pilot in Sioux City...My appt isn't until 1900 tonight....

 

Read all 100+ pages on Van Wyck. Appreciate it guys. Going down to Sheldon tomorrow (from Sioux FAlls) to tal to Tim. Seems like a nice straightr up guy. Suggested part time ( 65 year old retired homebuilder) wish they had more lanes pulling the west mountains 'cuz I enjoy it. Donner et.al. Think I have finally found the best company for a relative newbie and right in my backyard. If you like will keep you posted. Gregor

 

got a message after I am unloaded to call craig and head to sheldon so I can spend the night in the Hotel...YAY......cause my Idle percentage is in the 60s right now....cause its so flipping hot out....in the triple digits in Sioux City...
