WS drivers whats your 20

At the motel in Missoula, Freightliner shop found a bad turbo, "parts on order"

 

I'd fire you. Good thing your not an O/O :smt039

 

That's because I was the one joking with you about that. You know, the guy that was there since Thursday waiting for the truck to come out of the shop. I sat across from you bored to death on that uncomfortable couch messing around with this phone. Yeah, I was THAT guy! (Also, rememeber when I asked who had truck number 20-something without me even raising my head out of the window?) That's how I found out who you were!

My truck is sick right now and decided to vomit a hot-red substance from the coolant line near the APU (wasn't this thing in the shop for 5 days????) Lucky for me, I was able to isolate the leak by shutting off a yellow valve from the line that feeds coolant to the APU. Next I'll try to make it a few miles to the J so that I can purchase coolant, and get the hell out of Spokane. The people here flat out suck and can't drive to save their lives.

 

Well it looks like im getting a 34 hour reset here Its now 5pm in MT and still no load........I made $50 today yay!

I went thru the same thing yesterday stuck in SLC. He finally sent me to Helena. Problem is I've been trying to get to SFS. Now I'm here waiting for a lube job and I caught a rock in my windshield driving up here. Maybe I'll get home next week.

 

At Irwin, OH Pilot, 12 miles from shipper for 8am load which goes to Atlanta Kroger...

I got to get rid of the Myrtle load...Neither of the 2 stops could take delivery until the 9th, at the earliest...Called dispatch and they let me drop trailer at Indy Terminal for someone else to deliver...

AT, that's why I no longer want to go West...Keep me east of the Mississippi and all is good, plenty of loads!

 

hey im cool with sitting out west looking at the mountains, rather then lumping all that furniture and not being able to find good parking after 5pm


My monthly bills includeing eating in the TS every night is only $1,500 a month, and with my other income on top of what i make here, im good to go. I learned a long time ago and very quickly its not how much you make but how much you enjoy your job.

and once I get this cooking in the truck thing down the monthly bills will go down to $1,000 ish i spent ALLOT at TS's lol

Then you should call dispatch and tell them to make sure everyone else gets a load first as they may need to actually make money so they can support their families!

 

ya i dont think so


I'd rather be running, but to occasionally get to sit somewhere nice like CO looking at the rockys I'm not going to complain. I can't stand people that wine all the time....I'm 21 and trying to enjoy life.
