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

Yep yep used to work in ATL learned real quick when and where to change lanes to avoid the biggest part of the traffic

 

More like once in a while you will get a trailer that is ready to go.

Are you far enough north to make the 210 worthwhile? It usually beats I-5 and I-10. . .

 

I've got a feeling that I might be done for today.
1st I went off of 290 and West Rd to get a Water Blaster trailer.
I took some wiring stuff with me. But I couldn't get the lights to work.
So with the 4 ways on the truck going I limped it down 290 and around the West loop to Telephone Rd down to Airport Blvd. to drop it. No cop got me.
Then I totally misread two texts. I went to what should have been the third stop first.
But I ended up with 2 crates at 78# and a pallet of pails at 645#
Ran by SDV for some documents. Dropped the pails at SET Environmental.
Dropped the crates at Cargolux. And dropped the docs at Emirates.
Sent empty at 4:03. No further communication as it approaches 5pm.

 

Wonder if IP can figure this one out? Getting some sleep while the igits take the roads. Schools back in so granny and gramps are out in force with the ole beat up RV....at 48mph!

NFI... need a little more than a couple 'o trees and the corner of a fuel island. The Great Karnac I ain't!

Lebanon TN.

 

I was right. I was done. Hit home 6:15.
Roland wanted me to get 4 pallets 4000# but one trailer tire has a bolt in it and ain't EVEN worth patching. I need two tires but can't afford them.

 

Dang it dave somethings not right when you have to beg for your check to cash and cant get tires to keep rolling I hope things start looking better for you soon.

Font even want to know how my day went I guess I am just a bit agitated since things that I normally let slide today just was not sitting well. I mean so bad I pulled breaks and confronted a driver on the interstate

 

I-5 was not so bad... And I was not on I-10... I was on CA-60 and yes... took I-210 and THAT is a freaking pain...

But the roads were not as bad today... and I was "smarter" than yesterday... Made all the "right" lane changes right in time and moved fast...

Truck decided to act out again... and why not? After all, he is in California... Both orange engine lights came on while going up I-5... And I was like... Ohhh... nooo... not that crap again... But after fueling at freaking Pilot in Castaic, only one orange engine light remained on... I drove with no a/c to avoid overheating... Man, my bottled water was as HOT as if I had boiled it...

Anyway... now I am at co. warehouse... Although I got here 30 mins before closing time, folks decided to leave early and will unload my tomorrow at 6:30 am...
No need to drop and hook cause my next p/up appt is only at 11 am about 30 mins from here... I tried to reschedule it for earlier with shipper but they don't do it with the driver... Ohhh, excuse me...

 

Darn.... Cranky... sounds like it was a rough day for you man...

And tsavory... Sometimes I feel like doing something similar... But be careful out there man... did you read about the crazy 4 wheeler who got out of his car and stabbed a truck driver several times on the road??
