Got busy last week

Before i grounded out on the ramp into the warehouse :biting:

As a reward i treated Lola to 2 gallons of premium screenwash, amazing a difference it makes to the horse piss that is supplied at the center

^^^One time, I left the building and drove about twenty miles to my first air stop, which just happened to be a stone quarry. Driving up the highway, I thought the truck felt more than just a little bit heavy, so I parked on the scales at the quarry office. After I saw that I was close to 2000 pounds over my legal weight, I called in and told management to send someone out to get work off me.

And they did! :surprised:

We've had a couple of drivers pulled for being overweight but in rental trucks, they're prime pulls for the Traffic Police, brown trucks are rarely pulled in.

You should see one of my old GMC P1s when the center brickloads it with paper for the JBLM logistics center. Springs break, 9R tires @75PSI nearly pop and the front gets verrrrry light. Use a box van, please!

The trucks who deliver the books to the universites and trucks loaded boxes 100+ of boxes of women clothing to the malls.

I used to have a pickup that I and to start about 30 min early because they shipped 200-300 boxes of paper. In the front of a 10 cube with no power steering. Almost impossible to turn a corner after that pickup.

And as a side note I ran a route a few times where UPS moved some offices into where they immediately blocked off the dock doors so you always had to carry those 40 lb boxes of paper up the steps with nobody offering to help. Or when UPS had an office in another building on the 2nd floor with no elevator so you wouid spend 30 minutes humping boxes up paper up the stairs. A stop is a stop of course.

WOW, that sounds like a great vacation. I'll be doing the South Florida equivalent, but taking 2 weeks in a row with my Crew. Take plenty of pictures and we'll post some when we get back.

Went past weasels a few weeks ago. Sadly, it burnt to the ground a few years back.
