It's been a crazy, weird week. One day or Qualcomm systems were jacked up and my nav system wouldn't log in. Thank God for Google Maps navigation on my phone.

Two nights ago I had heck trying to get a P/U number. About the time they gave up and was about to reassign me they found it. Only took a couple hours.

Last night I picked up a relay in West Memphis and there was no paperwork. Spent nearly 50 minutes on hold just waiting for someone to answer.
Finally ...

This morn I got a load. So I zipped over to pick it up. Dispatch read 11 PM, pre load. I figure, pre load, why wait until 2300?
So I arrive, they check my trailer and are satisfied. Then tell me to come back after 10 PM because my load hasn't even been manufactured yet. Lovely. Now I know.

Well, it really hasn't cost anything on my 70 because I had to drive an hour here anyway. I get a 10 break and start fresh. I'll be ok, even if it does kinda suck.

What's ...

Shout out to my new friend, TennMan!

Last night I gave up waiting for a load and went in to shower, eat and laundry. We have 4 washing machines. One was out of service and there was a long line for the other 3. After a while I gave up and went back to the truck.

When my MCP came online I was pleased to see I finally had a load. I grabbed my Pumpkin Pad to jot down the info. Simultaneously, I was on the phone with my wife; she was anxious to hear me say I got a load coming ...

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 ...
