Back in business - almost

Woohoo we got the truck back this afternoon. Since they had to drain all 200 gallons of fuel, the first thing we did was go right back to Love’s to fill up! Hahaha yup, I know what you are thinking…but so far no repeat of bad fuel. Ok, the total...

Friday Update

So today’s update has both good and bad news. As you know, we started having problems right after we fueled up at the Love’s truckstop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and that this whole area has been under tremendous flooding this year. As it turns out, we did in fact...

Truck Drama Update

Well, we got a hotel on the companies dime for tonight. The preliminary findings show coolant leaking into the fuel. They will tear it apart Wednesday morning to figure out exactly what, where, and why along with how and who…. (let’s see, did I forget anything?) Not much else news...

Stand by for news....

…this trip has been interrupted by a tow truck! We had just filled all of our tanks with fuel from the Love’s truckstop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota then hit the Interstate towards delivery when the engine started knocking and we lost power. A few sample restarts and the engine...

No drive today

Howdy. We will not be driving today. I am getting rest and sleeping trying to get rid of this junk once again. Not sure what will happen with this load, perhaps a repower or delivery appointment change.

Strange!

Good Thursday morning from the Pacific Northwest. We are doing a local run this morning. We arrived at the delivery more than an hour early. I walked up to the check in office and I walked right up to the window! Usually there would be 30 drivers in line! Then...

70 hour limit

We are unloading at our delivery in Sumner, Washington and this will be a quick delivery. We are out of our 70 hours by the time we leave so no more driving today. Tomorrow we have three customers to visit since we will load and deliver a local trip of...

Nevada Sunday

Hey you, welcome aboard for the Sunday ride through Nevada. Lots of buffer monsters lurk in the hills so be prepared.

Six hour lies

Good evening.  We have finally departed the loading dock 6 hours later. I will never understand why it takes so long to unload a trailer.  We brought in 23 pallets but they resorted them into 135 different pallets for their own store location use. All the grocery warehouses do this,...

Long day in California

Howdy and good afternoon to ya from the Inland Empire! This morning we started our day at 3am departing from Hesperia and ran down through the San Bernardino mountains towards our 6am delivery in Carson.  Traffic was rather enjoyable since we ran into no traffic jams and actually arrived about...

Sunday an 80

Morning! Here is this week’s video as we scoot across Interstate 80 for today!

Rush 'n Sit

Oh boy, long day of backroads today as we raced to Schuyler, Nebraska arriving just 22 minutes late for our loading appointment. No biggie since I rolled up to the lot and there is a big number of trucks waiting to load. Our booking appointment is for a preloaded trailer...
