Warning for Carson City area

[aquawarrior7]

I don't really pay much attention to the news like I should.So we drove to Reno to try for one of the many Phizer loads e get out of the Reno express center. After 2 days I actually noticed the newspapers here. It appears there is a quite large fire near Carson City. It's already enveloped 6000 acres. I guess Phizer dosen't want to ship with a fire being so close. So al yall be carefull out here with fires in I think they said 3 to 5 states.

I've got a sprinter with a team delivering in Reno Monday. What company has the Pfizer freight and will some of it fit on a Sprinter? I'm set up with several major expediting companies but need to know which one to bug...

Phizer has a place in Reno. I think there is one in Pheonix as well

I work with Tri-state, Panther II, Nations, Con-way now and Landstar. I have my own outbound freight and just use them to get me closer to home. I try to make enough outbound that I can run my guys home empty and still keep my head above water.

I simply called them and ask if they ever used outside carriers. My partner and I are retired state troopers and most of my drivers are trooopers also so we played the "you get what you pay for" card and it worked.

Just today so far I've got 27 e-mails for the above companies asking if we could cover loads for them. Thats not counting Panther II who calls me on the phone.

You can't survive on just leftovers from the big companies but its good "extra" money sometimes if your in the area.

Wow! Sorry we missed you. We were in Reno then too. It would have been nice to meet and visit. We hung out at Boomtown, Petro, and the Hilton. We picked up a Reno load and ran it right through Carson City. The flames could been seen on the hills. The town was filled with smoke. But people seemed to be mostly going about their business as we drove through.

WOW are you fedex too cause I saw 1 the first day. But it left son after.You must have been having some fun in Reno if you were at all those places Glad at least one of us got a load out. We finally decided to dh home to TX to see my parents. On the way they offered us a load that picked up about 40 miles back the way we had come and it went even further west to Oregon. We figured if we couldnt get out of Reno we shouldn't go farther out there.

Been busy since we got back out though, guess we just needed to hit the restart button. Now we are back in California. Woo Hoo ,right
