Florida...yuck....for me personally...I now avoid it like the plague...there is always units there and no way I am going to be 3rd or 4th out...whens a 1400 miles load not a good thing...when you have to DH 700 miles to get out....unless they give you something on the back end of the load to get out..

We are in Albuququre wishing for a run to Florida. It's time to go home and get the hit and run damaged fixed.
We have been dispatched from home the last 7 or 8 times. You just need to stay north of Orlando.

Sitting here at Bolt world headquarters in warm Toledo, Ohio. I've had a pretty good 7 week stretch. Today is the first day in a long time that i've had to stop and smell the roses.

It's been run, sleep, run sleep, sleep, run, run some more, sleep and run again. I'm looking forward to a nice 2 weeks off in another week or so.

By next Friday i'll have been out here on the road for 9 weeks straight. Any how, I hope y'all are doing good out there.

So what's all the chatter about Florida? Once someone shows up here in Miami to relieve me of this load, I'll be trolling my way out of here. Since I seem to be doing only one load a week these days, I'll take what I can get.

Had all that replaced on my 03 Yukon, it was around 1,200, that included labor belt and tensor for A/C, new compressor etc. Compressor locked up and broke the compressor belt and tensor. Death could be near.....

I mis-diagnosed the problem.It was the vacuum pump chirping,which is located above the a/c compressor,and I made it to West, Texas and it gave out completely, broke the housing,and melted the bearings.$500.00 for the tow and parts, and back on the road in 2 hours flat.Awesome place, there.Real nice people.Made the delivery here in Mo early, with a pre-load from Mo to Va on thurs.Awesome!!!
