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...

Good Friday afternoon, sorry for the delay in getting news and updates out to you. We have been fighting with folks about not being able to reach shipper and delivery on time. Long story short, the last shipper had it’s severe load distribution problems and took three times and 24+...

Ok, quick rundown of what is going on with our current shipper in Champaign, Illinois. First, the load was scheduled as a preloaded trailer due at 10am 5/31. It turned into a live load. Five hours later, we are done and go scale our load. Even with the trailer tandems...

Guess what? We finally got the truck back from the dealer. They started working on it Wednesday, couldn’t find anything wrong, but replaced some tubing and a junction. They let the truck sit overnight and it started up this morning. They stand by the notion that there is nothing wrong,...

Good Wednesday afternoon. The latest information available this morning was they were going to pull it into the shop bay on Friday or late Thursday. I extended my car rental to after Memorial Day just in case. The last few days, I have been keeping the freezer running by using...

Happy Mom’s Day!

Good Thursday morning! Remember yesterday we brought our empty trailer in and dropped it so that it could be loaded for us overnight? We called this morning and made sure our load was ready before we moved our truck. We arrived, hooked up, signed bills, weighed the load, and exited...

Howdy! Well the freightliner technician looked the truck over but didn’t find anything really wrong. He did find several places where the fuel lines were allowing pressure leaks so he is guessing that could play a part in it. Guess we will have to see. I have to admit that...

What a damp droopy day in Texas today! The freightliner tech is looking at our truck right now. I will update information as I find out more details. The guy who runs our BRT Store is on his way to pick up almost 200 pieces of custom stoneware handcrafted in...

WWoo-hoo we had a 530am Friday morning scheduled delivery but got a call at 130am to hean on down into the caves for delivery. Good to go. That load is now completed. Our next load picks up in the same caves but different shipper Friday at 1800. We are parked...

Just a Monday update, we are still waiting for the safety people to release the safety hold. They finally got the paperwork they requested from the doctor’s offices, but I haven’t heard anything beyond that. Not sure why the delay, but the day is wasting away while we sit for...
