Van Wyk Inc.

i personally like it to be cold in my rig as long as its not freezing... i just came from Florida where it was a steamy 95 but anyhow, what a nice little run that was, well i gotta unload at Bethlehem in the morning and be back down south to W-Boro in the afternoon....

anyone knows how much the lumper cost for an kraft load delivering in Jessup at Giant?

 

Hawk I wish I could remember for ya. You know about the street parking available back in the industrial park?

Anyone know of a parking opportunity close to Nash Finch in Sioux Falls?

 

I'm currently in dock at Smithfield in Wilson, NC. My appt is for tomorrow morning, so I called to ask about on-site parking, and the guy said, "Is it meat?" It is. "Bring it in today!"

So here I am.

Pick up in Clinton tomorrow and go straight back to Sioux City. This will be my first time running more than 7 consecutive days since I started in June. We'll see how it goes.

Chilly here in NC...Yeah, the bunk heater works. For some reason, though, the cold snap makes it hard to drag myself out of bed in the morning.

 

Ya, it's been mighty chilly which is fine by me. I think when I woke up in Bismarck, ND on Monday it was in the neighborhood of 36 degrees. Hey Hawk, for some reason I'm thinking Kraft is a contract deal @ Giant so we don't need to pay for it, don't quote me on that but awhile ago I did one of those and they said it was taken care of. Was that one of the Reynolds loads down to Miami?

 

yeah but it empty out in Tampa and Bartow, FL... it also had stops in GA, SC, and two stops in NC

 

Saw a Van Wyke at the Flying J in Russellville AR this morning anybody in here? It was a T660

 

Wasn't me, at least.

Currently sitting at Cloverleaf #1 in Sioux City. Place is a zoo. Apparently a bunch of trucks with Smithfield product showed up this morning (me included) with 0800 appointments that Cloverleaf has no record of. Way to go Smithfield...or, I suppose, Cloverleaf if one of theirs dropped the game ball.

Anyway, to kill some time: Have any of you had any experience with the bulk DEF nozzles showing up at Pilot/Flying Js? I've taken to using them to refill my 2.5 gallon bottles, but I haven't gotten up the gumption to find out if that hose will go all the way around to the passenger side. (I'll look like an idiot for science, but within reason). Sooooo, anybody braver than me? Does the hose reach across to fill the tank directly?

 

your truck takes def?? what truck are you in??

 

757.

Also, anybody had experience getting a CB repaired? I'm a little at sea. Mine (the company's) doesn't receive well and doesn't send at all (as far as I can tell), and it's a becoming problematic. Do I find a place to fix it, or do they have a place they want to get it fixed?

 

they'll probably let you buy another one..... anyhow on my front the quote temporary truck i'm driving unquote has suffered an egr cooler fail or so..... truck is in the shop, down a day.. smh, seems like i dont think no new equipment is in my future i guess, but all the guys with there volvo's have to turn in the trucks, so as i hear but yeah, FML....
