Don't get mad. Get even!

I never have liked that saying but sometimes it is appealing. If the opportunity presents itself...... I may be having a weak moment.

Hump day was tough. Long. Boring. Actually my day could have been condensed into three or four hours. The entire week has been tilted off. It began good enough but then missing paperwork (that wasn't turned in on time) made it grind to a stop. It disrupts the whole week. Instead of flowing through the stages you work to a point and then have to back track and pick up the stragglers as they come in. That was the case yesterday. The two of us that have been in the office all week have hopped and skipped through our work so that we did mostly Friday work on Tuesday. It is a messed up deal. I will be glad when this week is over.

The on again off again saga continues with the big black and chrome Peterbilt. After the last exchange the sales people took the truck for a test drive. It is now in the shop under going repairs. Every once in a while they call and give us an update. Then they tell us they think they have it sold. One thing I am impressed with about KO he isn't caught up in the rush. Often times you get caught up and chasing something and you end up making poor decisions.

The dilemma with the spazzed truck yesterday has escalated. Yesterday the driver was able to drive the truck in using the accelerate and coast features of the cruise control. The dealer shop here had said the computer coded out a faulty throttle sensor. Turns out the ECM (on board computer) has gone bad. Of course no one has one (thankfully because they cost about twenty-five hundred dollars) so the faulty one off this truck was overnighted to Houston where it will be rebuilt and shipped back to us by end of today. The rebuild is a much more reasonable twelve hundred dollars. Toughest part of this situation is the lost revenue. This truck is one of two leased trucks owned by the same people. They have really had a tough go lately. Musical chair drivers and then it seemed they had to have two trucks to keep one driver going on a daily basis. We started a new driver Monday on the truck that went down and it has been a puzzle to keep him doing something so he won't bolt for the door and greener pasture.

Today is a mixed bag. Durango, Colorado; Wichita, Kansas; Lenexa, Kansas; and of course a solid mix of metroplex runs, including three ab-fw-waco-ab. Trailers appear to be the question today. If the plan stays the same for me as it was when I left the office, KO and I will be looking at some other equipment today.

Let the record reflect that results were downloaded yesterday for the company random drug screens KO and I took last week. My score was perfect for accuracy with a negative test result. KO scored a 41 for accuracy with a negative result. So once again we are good to go after meeting DOT guidelines. Some people don't have any fun while others have way too much!

Not much to say, have a nice day!
