    Ya I guess with the main load planner sick everything goes haywire. I did call in and tell them that a lot of drivers are upset about the miles this week. The open door policy they have is good. Not too many places bother to pick up a phone when you do call. Maybe with the main planner back everything will start smoothing out.

    Ok got it done. .. I was there at trailer wash out for hour and a half waiting for a t check. I sent messages, I called. I also called the t check after hours number etc never got answer from anyone call made. Oh well it's not the end of the world. It's friday 13th. Lol I'm here at jbs in hyrum now. Load won't be ready until 0100 or later. Gonna just get up in wee hours early morning and see if it's ready and roll 1350 miles to delivery at 11 am Monday .. Some things the last couple of days have been slightly upsetting but nothing major. I really like it here and they would have to do something really awful in order for me to give up. Lol you guys stay safe and have a good weekend

    Starting day three sitting in Holcomb. Load was supposed to be ready by 0418 today and an hour later, still not ready. I guess I was just lucky the first three meat loads being ready early. My last three certainly have been a different story. What's worse, my next load goes to Kearney, NE. So, I guess I can plan on sitting in Grand Island for a day. /sigh

    I have the same luck on meat loads. Either they are early or late never on time. Well drop load at the new Albany yard. They are no tailing me up to plainwell, mi to get a trl. Makes me wonder what is wrong with it if I am taking a empty trl from a meat plant. Well I was on the road all night. Going to shower then get some sleep. Stay safe everyone.

    If you don't have time to make otd then yes they will have to reset to delivery time. Make sure you put in for detention from the drop dead time until they have the load redone. If you can't make the appointment just give then the eta of when you think your can be their. You being late is on the shipper now not you.

    You guys need to be aware that Pilgrim in chattanooga wants you to dimiss the trucking entrance on the QC and make 4 turns around the block leading into a 13ft bridge. If it was normal you could be only 100 feet from the door you check in, follow directions leading down a narrow 2 lane street having to use the oncoming lane to make your right turn and then following the right hand turn a 13ft bridge!!!! I back up and made a left and another right and another 13.1ft bridge!!! There is absolutely no reason for this except for them wanting better accountability but risking public safety, career safety and your truck. I will notify John monday morning this needs to be addressed. Watch your bridges!!!

    Anyone here at FRE have Sprint phone with unlimited data? How is the service? My Verizon phone is giving me major issues and Verizon already warranty the phone once. Not doing anything this time, thinking about firing Verizon.
