well it seems time has been flying by since last I posted.  Today proved to be rather interesting. Well it started yesterday in sparta wi where I picked up a preloaded and sealed trailer.

I delivered it in Aurora IL this morning at a recycling plant. When I opened the doors I was greeted by an entire pallet of filled water bottles rolling around on the floor. Its seems as though whomever loaded it put the heavier pallet on top of a lighter pallet...and the rest, as they say, is history!  Fortunately, they were out dated bottles of water being sent to recycling center for destruction and re use.
Knowing that my next load was coming out of a food distribution center, I carefully inspected the trailer for cleanliness and damages. I looked up and noticed sunlight where there should not have been any sunlight (the roof of this trailer was aluminum vice translucent). Some how a gash about 1" wide and 2 feet long had been cut into the roof. This is never good. So that trailer had to be taken to our repair shop in davenport, Iowa.

Lets be safe out there and happy motoring :)

PS I would be curious to see who is reading these posts. Please please take a moment to post something in the comments section.  Thank you.
