wow. What a busy few weeks it's been.  In the past month I have covered almost 12k miles!  Whew. Is it any wonder why Im feeling a bit exhausted.  I love my job. Sometimes though I don't always like it.  Take this week for example. I had to leave home at 6am Sunday morning in order to be in Buffalo New York by 7am Monday morning.  That bit the big weaney!  While the paycheck looks nice, I wanna be around to spend it!!!!

Last night I was proceeding east on the pa turnpike when traffic came to a halt, both lanes. Turns out at the entrance to a construction zone the road was narrowing from 3 lanes to 2. Just past the entrance to the construction zone it went from 2 lanes to 1.
Why you ask? A 53ft trailer being hauled by United States Freightways decided to split itself in half and dump its contents all over the highway. What a mess.  It appeared though that no one was hurt.

This tire was found on a trailer that I picked up in Seymour Indiana. There was a good spare sitting in the tire rack. So someone was to freakin lazy to get it changed!

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 :)
