Truck driver b.s.

Man we had a significant icing event after I got home from work last night. Lots of tree branches down, traffic lights out everywhere.

 

Sitting on the highway not moving.

 

We got an ice storm last night and of course I’m up in the hills where every road is covered in ice and all the “dirt” is now mud. Sigh at least my trailer hasn’t overtaken me yet…

 

Still sitting.

 

Man..its funny looking at that Ice and its 83 here

 

Almost 3.5 hrs now...

 

What's the chatter on the radio saying?

 

As long as The Dog does not look over his shoulder and growl things are still good.

 

I really can`t like this!

Running recaps for the use your equipment sees

 

I hear you,we run recaps also. Best week I had was four blowouts. Another time was two on the same axle and side. They are cheaper but you don't get the mileage and where is the savings when it blows at 50% and takes the fender out. Then you sit there waiting for a service truck,although I have run home with an inside flat because I wanted to get out of my truck. Told my boss Mar20 I'm done , 45 years of driving and I'm taking some time for me and the wife to have fun. Won't miss chaining up to go over some stupid mountain backroad to deliver gravel.

 

Broken. Almost home.

 

Our linehaul guys haven't run the past 2 nights because of the weather. Was told yesterday to show up @ 10:30 today, figuring there would be little if any freight to deliver and there was none, only did pickups. Total of 4.7 hrs today. Tomorrow will probably be crazy as about half of our P&D drivers were sent out to linehaul this morning to try to catch up, they were starting to get back when I was heading home. So we'll have double the freight tomorrow since linehaul will be running normal tonight. Yay, longest day of the week on Friday.

 

Well it's FRIYAY! Still gotta do Saturday.
Be safe drivers.

 

Saturday morning and having my coffee getting ready for work. Light snowright now, supposed to get about an inch. I hope it's a short day.

 

Guess I’ll be curb-parking for awhile.

 

Looking across the yard I didn't know ABF had a yard in Hooterville?

 

Yeah, they drive like pricks even in their cars, too.

 

I remember when they were on Hicks off Sweenen Creek

 

Same with the garbage company we share a road with at work, a holes. You'll be backing up to get in a dock and the just drive right behind you, by the time you see them in your mirrors it's to late. One of our drivers backed into a garbage truck because of that, lol. Hey let me remove your mirror and steps from the side of your truck for you, lmao. No damage to the trailer.
