Load #3

Deadhead: Fredrick, MD Wednesday, August 08, 2007
Shipper: Laurinburg, NC Wednesday, August 08, 2007
Consignee: Brook Park, OH Friday, August 10, 2007
Commodity: glass

Arrived LRBG Wednesday night. Load was ready to leave LRBG first thing Thursday morning.

Trailer didn’t have securement box or bottom attachment U bracket on headboard. Rear marker light was pushed inward so I had to repair.

I have now sent Brett 9 emails with photos attached. I had response to the first email only. To say that he had forwarded to the appropriate person. I didn't bother to send these.

























This final photo depicts the amount of items that need to be secured to the headboard at times. Also note that the both the securement box and lower-right attachment U-bracket(for strap) are missing.




When I arrived in Brook Park, the customer wasn’t expecting me. I had to wait 3 hours for them to make space for the load. Sent to Leetonia, OH to pickup load that would take me through home for reset.

Arrived home Saturday with 69 hours logged.
