Where Are You....continues........

The morning thing did NOT survive first contact. Turned out to be more like 800# than 3000# but I wrote the delivery ticket for 1200# and **** 'em.

Then dropped the trailer and took some docs from SDV to a building on Jones rd. From there all the way to Deer Park for 54# in three cartons going up near the Airport. Then to Brittmore over on the West side of town for a 255# pallet. Then rush as much as possible in 4:30-5:00 Houston traffic to SDV to unload and then get them to put a 67x48x54 on my truck longways for Air France. At least it was 1045# to make up for the trouble!

5 down for the day. On a usual day my GPS shows 7-9 hours of sit still time. Today it was 6.5 hours because I was all over Houston!

 

I found a picture of that driver I was telling you all about the other day.



and in action

 

Ft. Campbell, KY.

Any of you been to Americold off of Fulton Industrial in Atlanta? If so, is it as cramped as it looks?

 

I am on a forced 1 week shut down till Weds.

Due to a blown front drive axle and Tuesday is the wife's b-day. I will be home for it.

 

Depends on which one--there are actually 3 or four right close to one another--the newer one has some room--the rest are kinda tight--don't think ANY of them will let you in early or hang..........

 

Cracking me up again man...

 

For what it is worth--your r better off that way--I've been doing what you are doing for longer than I can even remember(course I no longer go to cali)and truth be told--I missplaced my mind somewhere around 77/78--and after lookin for awhile--i found not thinking is much easier--therefore I abandoned the search--and we both seem to be doing fine without the other
But to each his own i guess----
Oh yeah back at the house--had enough buggy dodgin fun for one day--but 2moro will be better--cuz I get to go visit all my city friends--and learn em how to speak proper anglish--LMAO--o and since I've been told so many times in other threads that 53' trailers are ILLEGAL in NYC--I decided NOT to argue and just give in--so Im talkin the 54' spread!

 

so the swap I was suppose to wait on last night in Altoona Iowa arrived 14 hours late
scaled the load 80100 lbs
dispatch says so what's the problem?
maybe the quarter of a tank of fuel and a half full reefer
so I have an 1100 mile run to do in 30 hours
getting fuel every 200 miles and a couple of milk and cookie breaks
I told them I wasn't guaranteeing on time delivery
that confused them too

 

Central Point Peelot....actually a bit entertaining watching the "goings on" with these "ME,ME,ME" drivers......pffft!!!!
