LOL! I knew it was an expression, but I honestly have never heard it.

I'm far too sophisticated for that sort of terminology.

Heck after this last few weeks I might just clean out my truck and turn in my resignation..

Ive about freaking had it with "Reefer"..

Next time better be Truck-Load & Dry Van..

 

[Uncle Birchy]

Last time I was home "Me-Tv" had ran the Reruns all the way back 2 beginning..

Ever notice how most of time Nobody ever actually got shot just the cars would flip over and the bad guys would jump out before it burst into flames & exploding..

Actually B/A Baraccas got shot once and "Murdock" was a match for B/As blood type and he was gonna be just as "Crazy" as Murdock now with that "suckas" blood in me..

Oh I forgot the "Face-Man" screwed up & that's why B/A got Shot

Just got off phone with a broker apparently my load is still in Mexico hasn't even arrived yet here in Larado..

There is a drop yard behind the building gonna hang tight here for now....

If this ends up gonna be a "long" wait probably scoot back up by the Truckstops wait there until they figure this out.

Just waiting a few hours for OD permits drove me up the wall. There is no way I could ever sit like that. I'd just say, 'Bye, get another flunky'. The worst jobs I ever had were paid by the hour. They want you to screw off and waste time. I can't do that. I set up an exemption on my ELD so I don't have to take a 30 minute break. I go to sleep wasting time like that.

I hesitantly took the job pulling greenhouse plants because I had heard about shit like this that door swingers go through. I had never had a door swinging job myself before. I was only ok with this one at first because 98 percent of the time we did the work of loading and unloading ourselves and it was a very fast turn around literally as fast as you could get carts in and out.

Then the Wu flu started fucking that up bit by bit. THEN I started to get more and more tastes of "other" reefer work because I was no longer welcome at one of the propagators for not playing covidiot fuck fuck games. This "other" reefer work a lot of it was similar bullshit to what Birch describes and very quickly led me to the conclusion that door swinging of ANY sort was a bad idea and this guy won't be doing it again.

That is why I'm a tanker yanker. No BS involved when you have a set group of customers.

 

[Uncle Birchy]

Finally loaded & scaled out..

Gonna hang out here at the T/A until 10 or so when things quiet down again and get San Antonio, Austin , Dallas behind me before sunrise..

Oh there was a truck fire here probably very recently or they'd had it hauled away by now..

I sure hope nobody was inside

Welp 2 Slots back on my Tandems see what Reweigh looks like later because my Box down Half a Tank again..

Good for tonight but Minus 5 load but nearly 90 down here so it's gotta work that much harder

This was my first bumping the Cat Scale earlier but I'm critical on that Trailer Axle Once again..

As I said Earlier gonna wait until after dark ...those ya ever been Laredo know the Truckstops a mess on Friday afternoon & take ya an hour just pull out turn around and get that "Re-Weigh"

2 Slots should've legaled me out but I'm eventually have to take on some Diesel Fuel too..

Just shy 2/3rds tanks on Tractor and just over "Half" tank on the Reefer

Got tired about before Coast 2 Coast AM caught myself nodding off so I pulled into the Rantoul Rest Area off I-57 past Champaign.. luckily was still afew Spots available

Once my 10hr turns in awhile gonna cruise up to the Petro in Money should be half emptied out by then ..

That will also have me positioned well for my delivery in Chicago this evening

 

[Uncle Birchy]

I'm gonna put em back and just take the side roads around the scales by Monee..

That said on Saturday Night the Hope Arkansas Scales were open got the "Green-Light" but looked like they already had afew Inspections going on ...

I cant be too sure they were just busy already and shoved me off..

About 10 years ago I got abuncha warnings at that very same scalehouse at another company

 

[Uncle Birchy]

Settled for Loves Kankakee because Arby's $2/7 Buffalo Chicken & Some Mozzarella Sticks seemed like a good cheap lunch....plus I got "Platinum Status" this month so "Free Coffee"

I am 58 miles away from my delivery so Figured in extra hour for traffic so I should be able leave at 3:30 make a 5:30 ...

If not that's what they get sending me to Chicago that time of day " Screw Em"

They know I hate Chicago but book stuff there all time anyways
