Van Wyk Inc.

One tire of two replaced after 8.5 hours on side of Ohio Turnpike yesterday. Then second tire replaced at TA in Perrysburg. Auto Inflate system on truck turned off since blowout tore out two lines and broke three fittings. That will have to be fixed in Sheldon.

All of this resulted in running the overnight to make Walmart delivery on time in Johnstown, NY with 45 minutes to spare. Pulled into TA in Fultonville, NY after empty with one minute left on the clock...he he he.

Loading backhaul tomorrow, thankfully no more overnight!

Thanks for the tapatalk suggestion.

dropped the truck off yesterday afternoon and met spyder......the mechanics about tossed me out of the truck cause it was needed for a guy to borrow it..... its a good thing I cleaned it up....I just hope he has enough respect for my stuff that I left in there.....my biggest concern is that he smokes cigars....blechhhhh I quit smoking in april and now I am going to have to wash everything again to get that smell out........
I relized yesterday after mike dropped me off at home that I forgot to toss the "Jug" ooops....I just have soo much going on it completely skipped my mind.......

right now I am in Tampa waiting on my connecting flight to Jacksonville...I should be at work next week...so until then keep the dirty side down....

 

Mic, Barry from New England must be using your truck

 

Lol hawk I met Barry up in mass about a year ago,great guy but I definitely wouldn't want him and his stinky cheap cigars in my truck.

 

gee thanks guys...thanks for making me have even more confidence....ugggg I guess my washer at home is going to get a work out......

 

Got to new london, wi after getting up at midnite to pick up the load at storm lake and go like #### to deliver on time, then as i'm at the dock, i get a call saying they know i'm set up for pick up a load out of monroe to front royal, but maybe we can pick up a load right out of new london instead of dead heading 100 miles, never mind i'm just about hitting my 14 hour clock(which these people seem to conveniently forget that that rule exists), after a bunch of confusion due to 10 people telling me 10 different things, i got to leave the trailer there for them to load, and told to just pick it up in the morning. I decided to get a nice cheap room just down the block from the rathole truckstop since i wanted to get out of the truck for the nite(i was ready to toss the qc out the window anyways) and use the wi-fi and get some bills caught up online. Got back out to the truck...would crank over, but not enough to start it. Called the after hours maintenance line, but says he doesn't know of and emergancy road service places around here. This happened once before and was lucky to be able to use the reefer to jump start the truck, but not this time. Last time it happened, i had the batteries checked at the shop, they just said it tested low but normal.

 

Finally got someone to get out here and get this thing rolling, luckily they haven't set a delivery appointment yet..

 

Got a nice surprise on the delivery appointments both on after noonm then hopefully a load going home, i got an old POS dodge ram that needs to get a new muffler and yearly inspection before the fuzz starts getting real interested in me.

 

I am thinking about coming to Van Wyk, and was wondering how you guys do over the winter.

 

They had to replace all my batteries....they were shot....and all swollen..
