  1. Schneider - TAH Request

    by , 02.09.2012 at 02.31 PM (Blank Blog)
    I finally got a response to my TAH request.







    No reply as yet. Don't really expect one. I figure it's going to be one of those "we'll show you who's boss" kinda things, regardless if they owe me the time or not. ...
  2. Schneider - Flawless Victory

    by , 02.09.2012 at 08.39 AM (Blank Blog)
    I would like to report that after all this headache I finally scored a flawless P/U and delivery! But I can't. Sorry.

    I got to my P/U about 12:45. The guard said "were closing so try to be quick. You're to drop your mt in this spot. Your loaded is right next to it."

    I parked the mt smooth as silk. Hooked up and my tandems wouldn't slide. Pin was hung.

    So I decided to get out and try to fix it outside the gate. They had a scale on the way out. ...

  3. Schneider - Another Day, Another 50 Miles

    by , 02.02.2012 at 09.58 PM (Blank Blog)
    Literally. I finally got two loads. I go in for some coffee before leaving. They're out, so I wait for more. Then I hit the road knowing I've got just enough time left on my clock for P/U, depending on how long it takes them to load me. Then wonder if I can find a parking spot for the night.

    As I pull onto the road I notice my clock says "11 hours to drive." Huh? Apparently I sat "off duty" for ten hours and four minutes. The time it took me to wait on that coffee ...
  4. Schneider - post Christmas update

    by , 12.27.2011 at 06.15 AM (Blank Blog)
    It seemed to be a long weekend as things went. I scored a load that took me right through home to deliver about an hour away. Since i couldn't deliver until after midnight, I took my 10 in my own bed. Overslept. No harm since I wasn't on a hard deadline. Same for my next pick up which didn't deliver until Monday. Four nights in my bed. Niiiice.

    For Christmas my wife cashed in her upgrade and gave me an EVO 3D. Pretty dang cool. I think I messed up by merging my cell # with my Google ...
  5. Schneider - Ignor-ance

    by , 12.16.2011 at 11.22 PM (Blank Blog)
    Monday I did as support instructed; I told my DBL I needed to confirm my TAH schedule. He told me to send my mac in. I told him I did and was told to confirm it with him and copy/pasted the e-mail. Never heard another word of it.

    So now I'm thinking I need to send in the mac 43 every day so it will STAY on the list and not be overlooked.

    But I took this load without complaint expecting to be heading home Sat. Don't look that way now. Now I'm sitting and waiting because ...
