Ahhh, the call of the open road.
Yesterday: Driving by 05:30. 7 hours later my 180 mile round trip is complete and I can start my work day by creating customs invoices and ACE manifests. 6:00 pm I start washing salt off trucks & trailers. 8:30pm. Day over.
Today: More customs invoices, ACE manifests (10 a week...uggggg, the drudgery). Install heated mirrors in a T800 then spend 3 hrs adjusting a the hood that opens and closes like it weighs 5 tons and is cracked all to heck because idiots throw them open and slam them shut. Still didn't get it right, but at least I can open it from the front now.
Tomorrow: A 300 mile round trip, including a border crossing. More manifests, more truck washing, put an air suspension gauge in a T800. Tarp a 13' - 6" high double drop load (30' wide x 53' long tarps in case you're wondering).
Thurs: A 360 mile round trip, a border crossing. More manifests...oh the endless manifests. Mark and measure 44 autoslacks. Fibreglass a T600 hood because....you guessed it.....idiots.
