    After delivery this morning north of Nashville, TN, rushed to next shipper but p/up is scheduled for tomorrow morning and they can't ship early... :biggrin_25513:
    Since shipper is just a couple blocks from my co. warehouse and a Pilot, I went to Pilot first...

    Cranky says this Pilot is in the top 10 worst Pilots in the country... but like someone else wrote here... I think it was RedForeman, I parked at this nice spot, right in front of the exit, next to restroom and all... Took a shower, Transflo paperwork to co., bought my ice, had french fries at McDonald's... :biggrin_25519:

    But then, I decided to come to co. warehouse for the night...

    [​IMG]

    Although there's no restroom here and I may need one early in the morning, I feel more comfortable here.... :yes2557: It's very quiet, safe and I don't have to worry about someone scratching my paint at night... :biggrin_25512:

    After pick up tomorrow will head to OK and will stop at co. terminal for tire replacement and possible PM before delivery.

    On my way to Texas with 7 drops..

    I gave them the newer truck with all that new breed emissions crap on it back and moved into an older 660 with a 600 Cummins and 18 speed..

    The mechanic was pissed because he used it for local work and shuttling trailers....He doesn't need a 600 with an 18 speed for local work...


    I make my living in the hammer lane he goes home every night..

    case closed..
     
    wore out, Rocks, tsavory and 2 others Thank this.

    Sorry Rocks. But it wasn't a very productive day.
    Just prior to 7am he texted a pickup in Conroe. It was 3 drill bits at NOV Downhole to SDV at 401#. Sent empty 10am and included a "Can I come to the office" message.
    At 10:15 I said **** it and went towards the office. When I was almost there he sent come to the office sorry. So I get a somewhat less than stellar check. But PL$R cashed it. And I sat still from approximately 11am to 2:15 when I got sent for a round trip Sumner to Houston Heat Treat. And that was the day.

    Arrived home after two traffic snafus on usually fine 59 at 7:10.

    And pretty darn shortly I will be going to bed.

    Yes... the water is cold there... I prefer the water in FL beaches... And I totally rejoice in the warm waters south of the Equator... :biggrin_25520:
