Freight Update 9/9/22

Hey gang! Just thought I’d give an update about what’s going on. The truck completed it’s scheduled maintenance and we are on the load board waiting for our next trip. Now, the bad news – freight in the entire South is at it’s lowest point of the last two years....

Delays and confusion

What Up Road Crew!? We are in a delay status for the moment. It seems the tractor tire came off the rim, not completely, but not secured airtight and inflated. An observation shows no holes, nails, or damage to the tire. The tire was fine at our delivery but as...

Out of time!

Hey gang! As we discussed several times today and yesterday, we are in need of a 34 hour restart. We made our delivery this morning and made it to the truckstop with just 30 minutes left on the 70hr clock. We covered 320 miles today, and a total of 2,590...

Sun's Coming Up!

Just an update for ya, yesterday we got the CalBit inspection done, damage report done, spare tire change out, a few permits updated. Today, Tuesday, the freightliner tech will be handling 2 active recalls against this model and year of truck. We are waiting on word about a new mirror...

Get Ready for Cross Country!

Ok, time for an update. Today’s delivery had a noon scheduled live unload. We showed up about 1030am hoping to get started early. Well, no such luck since we were told to come back at 3pm. We did, and finally got unloaded about an hour later. Now, our next trip...

July 5th! Vacation is over!

Hey everybody , hope you managed to survive any BRT withdrawals. We had a great time at Belvidere Heritage Days and the Duck Derby last weekend. BigRigTravels and SetpowerUSA are teaming up to give one of our viewers a free 12 inch battery operated floor fan! Check out this video...

Belvidere Heritage Update

200 Ducks!

Hey! It’s absolutely great this vacation! But, I do miss the road crew and driving! I was just told there are 200 ducks left before they are sold out. Let’s rally together and help the Belvidere Lions Club for the second year in a row! Check out the homepage on...

Lost Stream! OH no

Hey! The phone kept cool and we were still broadcasting when we got back to the truck and turned the air on. Apparently we were 1 minute too late because the phone did overheat. Anyway , I was on the fence about if we should stop or keep going today....

void void void missing gone!

ok, so, guess I better update things. We already discussed the load problems in the last blog post about quality control delays with this trip. This morning everything was sorted out and we were to pick up that same loaded trailer and deliver to the same scheduled location. We have...

Quality Control

Hey gang! Well, we had a successful delivery early this morning at 2am. Then, once we got our break over, we headed to the next shipper to pick up our preloaded trailer. Yes, I know lately preloaded trailers were never actually ready. This time I was excited though because we...

First time ever!

For years we have been coming to this shipper in Virginia and you could always count on them to have the trailer preloaded on time or earlier. Today, we arrived and they are still loading the preloaded trailer in the door. The good news is it was already started this...
