I finally got an assignment this afternoon. Heading to Mt. Vernon this evening for p/u delivering to Round Rock.

Interestingly enough, I got a call from my recruiter at McElroy Truck Lines. They wanted to know if I'd be interested in coming back to work for them. Wow. I never had an employer call me like that.

She said if I came back now I would still get paid .40 cpm and all was the same except the insurance was updated; 6 weeks salaried training blah, ...

I've gotta get it in my head on better time management and planning. So far it's still been in my head that when I sign out for the day I got ten hours then I need to roll again.

This morning I got up and took off by 5:30. My orders said p/u between 12 and 1400. Around 8:00 I showed up for my p/u. They told me to come back about 9:30 and they'd have it finished.

An hour and a half lost off of my 14.

My delivery was in Dallas. On the way they sent a message ...

I got settled back ...
