Well, I have a reefer acting up, and I almost hit a tractor while backing. On the lighter side, I got in 10 hours of driving, in spite of the reefer needing looked at.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Well, they did NOT fix it in Cheyenne, and they did fix it in Omaha, only to have it go out again in Wisconsin. It is getting looked at now, and I had to put in a delay for my delivery.

An owner-operator is a driver who either owns or leases the truck they are driving. A self-employed driver.

It was a broken wire. It was finally fixed, in Wisconsin, with no damage to the product. On a lighter note, I have to be in Cheyenne tomorrow, and it will take almost my entire 11 to get there.

Well I would have made it if it wasn't for the bad weather. Luckily, I have an extra day to deliver.

If getting stuck in the mud is bad enough, try getting stuck in the mud, in a truck stop parking lot, while trying to find a place to park before bad weather hits.
