Waiting to be unloaded in battle creek.

Load refused.... Not expecting it until friday.... Idiots, imo. They could have taken it...... Guess i don't have to go to Lansing.

Did you tell them about being paid laid over for all these days?

Nope... I just took it back to the shipper and said .... here, you deal with it.

Guess who called...... that's right boys and girls!

They are ready to receive tomorrow at 9:00am. Guess who is still laughing.

So to make it even crazier I have lithium cells from a Nissan Leaf I'm currently making my battery pack out of .... should be around 600ah's and less then 80lbs!

Where did you come across the batteries?

Bought em off eBay! I own a leaf as my home car and have used the cells in several hobby projects ! Unfortunately the cost is going to be around $700 for the pack when I'm done but it's out of a lot of components I already have . The battery management system is my current hurdle but I'm hoping to test my prototype tomorrow or Friday connected to the solar cells first . If that is successful I'll tie it into the van with an isolator and test this weekend on the alternator current !

That's your problem, you're allergic to gluten

One run this week, quick run to Vermont. Family time

Actually had a friend over for the second time since 2014. This job doesn't lend itself to a social life

Van still running extremely well for being broken

Nothing quite as nerve racking as cutting holes in a new van.. 2 maxxair fans 2 solar panels and a wire gland later the cutting and sealing is over let it dry in the garage tonight and hose it down in the morning to check for leaks!!

I'm curious as to what the uniformed officer would say to that when he pulls you over for speeding or u can't keep it between the lines. LOL.

2 things.
I see en route naps with tracking.
1. I bid only 50 MPH almost every time. Most trucks build 10 mins per hour driven for nap time.
2. Don't assume EVERY dispatcher is an idiot just because YOUR dispatcher might be.

Good night.

Ok. Maybe "idiot" is a bit harsh. But my job, currently, it's to watch the moves of 11 trucks. Period. That's it. And bidding, of course. If I'm tracking them, I know what's going on. And if one doesn't build 10 mins per hour at 50 MPH, one needs to reconsider their career path.

Hopefully it paid well enough to make up for the 5 lost days.

Yup, that first cut was the hardest for me. After that, no worries

Not all loads travel only interstates. You drive two lane highways at 55, construction zones or traffic backs that can be 10 or 20 mph. Stop lights, school busses, rush hours. That's one thing some dispatchers seem to have trouble grasping.
