A little catching up is in order!!

Since last post, it snowed just a little in Green Bay Wisconsin nothing to worry about and we made the delivery in Albany GA as planned on Friday morning 4/24. Our next load was a pick up from a nursery farm, a load of potted plants and flowers. Here's the deal, I don't have a refrigerated trailer so this load was doomed from the start. Temperature was 92 degrees when they loaded it and called for the same all weekend, mind you this load is heading for Clifton New Jersey a 1072 paid miles and delivers on Tuesday(4 days away for a load that will take approx 2 1/2 days to get there). Almost all was on pallets except the last 5 feet of plants, they stacked them 1 on top of each other, then blocked it with a wooden fence with load locks. I told the kid it would not work and it will get damaged, the supervisor approved of the load and I let it be. Well you know....(it is what it is...heh...)....of course it got damaged. They had me relay the load in Charlotte NC at our OC on Saturday 4/25. I'll let that be, it's in claims right now. Next load was waiting at the OC going to Brookville Indiana delivering on Monday 4/27. The ride wasn't that eventful except,when I shut down for the day in Walton Kentucky I had the truck washed and polished the rims and aluminum. Next load picked up in Cincinnati Ohio and delivered that in Raleigh North Carolina on 4/28 Tuesday. Currently haulin' a whole lot of rubber (Goodyear tires) to Dekalb Illinois for delivery on Thursday morn 4/30. The good news is we're off this weekend and NHRA is in St Louis this weekend and I'm going for my birthday. Till next time... Aloha....Darrell
