I would be happy if we are back in service by morning. It's 0933, no one here yet.

09:33 and no body there yet

Joe, you've got to remember not everyone is as prompt as FedEx.

FedEx has no corner on being on time. I was raised on the idea that when a time is given you should be there at that time, or earlier. IF that turns out that can't happen, inform everyone involved and project a new time.

He got here about 1015, and has been working on it ever since.

We've been down for a day and a half. Coolant pump gave out in Fresno. It should be done by noon today shop said. On a positive note the hotels a/ c works really good.

It's hot. I left Louisiana to get away from the heat.

2 calls so far today, one dispatch never got a answer on and one I turned down for the amount of hours involved and not enough miles to justify sitting on the freight to deliver.

We are STILL in the shop, 24 hours now. They are JUST about done with the work. They are finishing up the brakes, then the wheels go on.

THEN, all that is left to do is a PM and we be OUTTA HERE!

Was heading to Beaumont TX for AM delivery, saw this bad wreck being clean up at about midnight. The accident happened about 6 hours earlier.

Update: Two killed following interstate accident | KATC.com | Acadiana-Lafayette, Louisiana

Rest in peace my brothers.

I got that update on my phone earlier. Very sad.

Mailer · Jul 10, 2014

Certainly is. My deepest condolences to the family.

They JUST now finished the original work that I brought my truck in for. Only took 26 hours. Now they are starting the PM, let's hope that don't take ANOTHER 26 hours.

layoutshooter · Jul 10, 2014

STILL at the shop, they are just now doing the PM.

OH has been slow all week. There's certainly been less freight moving in the other states where we've been watching as well. Or at least posted loads. But we've been fortunate several times out of some areas this week. PA, NY, MI, OH & NC. Hopefully KY, TN & MO(for Fri AM) are active today! Fingers crossed!! Looking to keep some rodeos rolling!!
