More turkey for the dogs
Another week and another load of turkey to Simmons in Quakertown. It started out with an empty fuel tank on the reefer trailer I was picking up in Harrison, with the temps way out of range. 43 degrees with a max of 28.
I contacted the people down there to figure out when it was loaded ...
Homebound
It was a long way home from Boston to Columbus, but I did not run during the night this time. The heat and the truck that wouldn't idle at night plus the extreme headache I had made that impossible. I was popping pills to make it go away and it eventually did. I woke up around 8 am and was gro...
Dryvan
Had a great start to the week until I went to Abbott to pick up a load to BJ in Massachusetts. They had it loaded on a dry van trailer, so the rest of the day pretty much sucked and it didn't help when the customer suddenly had stopped with overnight parking. It was like riding a bull without ...
Back in Dayton
Back in Dayton today. I got my load of bananas loaded up in Wilmington yesterday at 17:00, unfortunately, a couple of hours late.
This made my 14-hour clock cut me off too early, but I did my best trying to get to Columbus. I pulled over at the big rest area in Hebron, 30 minutes...
York
Started off this morning from the company yard in Carlisle, but first, it was time for a truck wash. It's been a few weeks since the last, which is well overdue and also pretty embarrassing, I really dislike a dirty truck.
Made my way over to Quakertown with my newly washed truck, thou...
Reefer problems
Been having some issues with the reefer on this trailer, it randomly shutting off due to an alternator/battery error so I decided it was time to fix it, so here I am at TA in Wheeling WV.
My banana load is scheduled for delivery tomorrow at Walmart DC in Washington Court House at 4 am....
Axle alignment and b service
Well, the Dunkin donuts load to Ohio got canceled and replaced with a banana load from Gloucester City to Columbus instead. To me, that was a good deal. I also got called in for a B service and axle alignment.
Since I started out in the Bronx I didn't make it all the way back but made ...
Hectic and stressful
These NYC loads are really busy and hectic. I miss my old loads to Spring City, those were the good times. Hopefully, they can find me something back there again soon.
Today I started about 4 hours from my 1st stop and was arriving 3 hours late. Thankfully next week I will ...
Another pharma load
Another load from Siemens to Siemens with vials. This is a standard load back to the Midwest or Plainfield Indiana where it's actually going. It's a good load and don't weigh much more than 14,000 lbs. Axles all the way to the front and let's roll.
The location in Newark where we...

Just 10 miles away from my previous load I'll be picking up my next load going to Wal-Mart in Hermiston, OR.
This is a nice and friendly place with a scale to weigh your axles before your leave. And it's free!
Good thing they had cause my trailer was too heavy in the front, eve...
Long day with a night at Speedco
Stopped here for some reefer fuel and then my 14 hour clock was out. Parked across the street at Speedco cause Loves was full.

Started early this morning to get my 2 stop load to Macys in Cheshire CT, got lucky and was told to drop the trailer on my first stop. No empty reefers there so I went over to my second stop anyway to look and found the one in the picture. It was pretty messed up and dirty, but otherwise fine,...
