WS drivers whats your 20

They were having 80mph gusts through Livingston when I went through. Trucks were detoured through town. Amazing my tarps are still thre, lol.

 

Well the weather site is exactly right, I just came thru Wyoming thru Utah into Wells Nv. With 44800 pounds of the stuff from Ft. Collins and I felt a bit shakie at times she didn't try to pass me but it was a bit nerving at times, I would back out of it a time then increase speed a little at a time, I should still make my FIRM APPT. Of 0900 On Monday in Modesto even after leaving my shippers 6 hours after it was promised 0900-1700 left at 2300 I am beginning to not like these loads, they said they don't like to load the trailers and then it sit in the cold till we get there to take it so they wait till we show up to load a trailer for us, why can't dispatch call and say, "Driver for load 321483456 is in route and is 3 hours away can you please load this load for him?" No that would include work for "X" dispatcher and he is busy enough... i hhave spoke to the "Driver laizone before about this individual but all i got were excuses why he doesn't do his job,

I have dispatched 55 drivers with over 1200 runs and routed each driver so the drops were made in a timely manner and in a time frame of when they were due for delivery, and with 750 drivers and all of them not coming MT at the same time or even in his area he has no excuses, but they let him get away with it.

ok I will shut up now!!

 

Had right rear drive(super single) go flat with 40K in the van, they will drive fine until you get to a repair facility, myth busted...

 

OOOUCH!! That is going to leave a scar, would you tell us the bill amount? Let's see rim tire labor, I say$ 1800:00

 

$66.37...Tire had 6 nails in it but was repairable...It got low enough to break seal and went totally flay, but drove fine...I didn't notice until I took break and did a tire/load check..

 

Tire and load check , whats that? I've always waited till some one started honking and pointing

 

LOL!

It's usually proceeded by a bathroom break, since I'm out of truck, I walk around it...

 

Flying J in Aurora, Colorado. Rough ride getting here with the wind and all but here I be! Delivery at 9am 15 miles up the road.

 

Salem,OR...Was supposed to pickup my load at HomeDepot in Salem and take it to Missoula to get my truck back (been in the shop for 2 weeks). BUT some SOB W/S driver took my load instead of his load which loads tomorrow. Now I have to wait till "his" load is ready tomorrow, which is going to Helena and Great Falls. Oh well, another day at the house with the wife.
