You have to be employed at the company for 3 months before you can lease. Wayne is doing good with his new teammate. They are on their way back to Ohio again. They were in OK last i heard. He was gonna goto sleep last time he called. He is still fighting with Central over his detention pay and them charging him twice for his locks. He won't be home until the 26th. He will have been gone for 4 weeks. They are getting good miles. Wayne had his troubles with Central, but has stuck to it.

Hi Lee, If you live in certain areas you might be eligible for Kraft or Coors Dedicated, which is pretty much set trips.

The company has changed in the last six months, things are more rigid.

Central is now paperless logs which are a pain, Company trucks are governed at 62mph. L/O 65MPH, Fuel surcharge is paid on loaded miles only.

Drivers seem to be getting less miles.

JJ is sitting in Wisconsin until he picks up a load Friday 168 miles away going to PA 790 odd miles with three days to run it and no early delivery as its a walmart DC load and they don't accept early loads.

He needs to trash that in the Chicago yard & get something with miles on it.

I Have dropped early at walmert dc's they just will not let reefer loads drop early.
I ran reefer and dry to the dc's and they would let dry loads drop early.
Dry loads do not run out of fuel.

He let his FM know that the next load had better have some miles on it with very little dead head.

We have a drop yard in Chicago now? I need to start paying better attention. Do we still pick up at the tootsie roll plant in Chicago? I used to love that place-- almost always drop and hook.
