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 had the loaded trailer number […]
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 morning on a different trailer; […]
The Trip Gone Wrong
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+ hours to get fixed. We […]
Difficulties and delays!
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 fully set back, our weights […]
Memorial Sunday
Truck back from the shop
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, so that sure doesn’t give […]
Surprise !
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 our heavy duty battery. I […]
Sunday Mom’s Day
Happy Mom’s Day!
oops! Ggrrr
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 the security gates ready to […]
Trip, Mug, and Truck
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 it sure is strange to […]
Mugs and Slugs
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 Wisconsin and as soon as […]
Caveman Trucking
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 right outside the cave entrance […]
