Sitting at home, since Thanksgiving. 1 load offer, but another of the type that can't be done running elogs. Oh well.
Wife asked 'why would dispatch call with that, don't they know?'. Reminded her that it can be magically be done, using paper logs, like i used to do, and there are more drivers on paper logs than elogs. So dispatch doesn't need to worry about it.
Will d/h north, soon, since NC seems to be a dead area right now.
Cheers, all

Morning all. Been a long 8 days or at least it seems so. Trying to get things around and over to the truck.
A routine visit to the vet a week ago showed that one of our dogs kidneys are failing. Her values were off the chart, but she responded to the treatment. She's stable now, but now we're on the same road we were on this time last year. Thank goodness my daughter is a vet.
Will be heading up to Taylor tonight and at DRS in the morning. Parts to repair a trans seal leak and a new charge air cooler came in. Both leaks would cause problems if stopped at a scale, so will get it done now.
One day at a time.

Well after doing my first load yesterday I just got settled in Ravenna Ohio...
and Frankie called with one 20 miles away coming to VA by DC....the site was under last phases of construction...No way to unload at the dock unless 3 skids was going to be hand unloaded (computer stuff)...so I happened to bump into site foreman at the roachcoach....and he brought his skid steer out and unloaded me and put them on the dock...Nice guy!
Consignee asked about the rate of hand unload...I told him $105 an hr with a 4 hour minimum PLUS skid and garbage removal fee another $100 bucks....that is when he approved using the loader truck, job done in 10 minutes....LOL
Scooted out to Winchester, may go all the way to Harrisburg yet..

The guy was sitting on the fence about using the loader...I figured he just needed a little push to get him to fall off that fence...

I get SOOO much done when Ken's driving..on the 4th load of laundry and have MOST of the gifts wrapped....and fresh sheets on the bed. It's still just 29 degrees here, but I opened up all the windows..that dryer really heats the air!
Guess I should start thinking about the Christmas Cards, but am working on my bed doll too and it takes quite a bit of time. Hope to read that everyone is running when I check back in!

Hello, December from St Paul, MN.

My luck for the week is holding true. Came over to the truck to load up food and clothes. Check the oil and fire her up. Chk engine and engine protect light up. Shut her down and recheck everything. Coolant was low. Added coolant and restarted. Lights out.
Ran engine up to temp and shut her down. Start the APU. It runs for five mins and it shut down. Checked the coolant. Down again!!!
Ran over to store to get more coolant. Added more and am now running eng back to temp.
Nothing on ground, so I'll get the eng warm and then run the APU and see what happens.

Engine appears to be ok. APU on the other hand just starts and stops. Sounds like the starter isn't disengaging.
Will try again in the am to head north. If I'm going to have a problem I don't want to have it in the dark and cold.
