Where is everyone #5

I told SPD I wanted a mid-roof... they only got condos for the majority of the fleet anyway

I be disappoint.

 

Yeah, I’m no hero. There were over 100 volunteers most offering there equipment also. I feel lucky I was chosen!!!!

 

I guess we gonna try something different today

 

That would be a dealbreaker for me.

 

This load is turning into a real test of patience. I hope I can win it.

Get up this morning, check out, go over to the truck stop and wait to hear from dispatch. Okay load appointment is 5pm and I'm going to Atkins, IA to dump the load to be disposed of by another company.

Get to Atkins, company just heard I was coming pretty much as I got there. Really nice guy in the office trying to work things out. Calls the local landfill, they can't take it till they review the paperwork, which they can't do till tomorrow. Calls the Waterloo landfill and gets voicemail on account of it being lunch time.

I just want to get the right product on the trailer and head towards home! At the very least I'm getting paid for the layover and the time taken today to deal with this ####.

I can imagine this is costing the shipper a fortune to deal with. Over 600 (possibly 700 at this point now) unnecessary miles and the fees associated with dumping the load in a landfill and possibly having another company move it for them. Plus the layover fees for the truck and I may even think hotel costs as well. Yikes.


At least it's a nice day. A little on the hot side of things though.

 

Monday funday.

 

I'm having fun! /sarcasm

 

When they handed me the operator's manual for the first Liebherr crane I was assigned I fell out then they pointed to the load charts!! I was asking for my boom truck back!!

 

Speaking of to reliant on Tech. One of the LiCCons went out on a crane and the operator was lost!! The boss handed him a 300' tape measure and a load chart and that kid looked like they asked him to do brain surgery!!! People definitely rely way to much on tech!!

 

He ain’t where he supposed to be I tell ya that.

19 going crazy. All the sand haulers wondering where the Knighty is going
