Well I'm empty, and got all my preplans for the next few days. I got to my delivery this morning and saw 15 flatbeds all lined up with the same product I had in my dry van. This was not looking good. I checked in and as they were staging the flatbeds for unloading in the middle of the parking lot, they had me back into the loading dock. I was done in about 15 minutes and all the flatbeds were done soon after. I walked to the Dunkin Donuts in the shopping center and watched about 5 forklifts do their deal and have all of them empty while I was enjoying my coffee and glazed stick donut. Not bad. Maybe I should pull flatbed.
Just as I was about to leave all my preplans came across the computer. As I was reading them Louie called and told me I was getting 2 PO's, one for driver assist unload, and one for layover because my next reload doesn't load until 11am tomorrow. That was very nice on his part. This is the first time since I first started here that I won't be home for a weekend other than when I go to California.
I load in Danville KY and unload as soon as I get to Lancaster PA, then I reload Sunday Morning in Springfield VA and drop my first drop Sunday evening in Gastonia NC, then 2 in Atlanta Monday morning. After that I have a drop in Lakeland FL Tuesday morning then Deerfield Beach Fl around noon on Tuesday. After that I drive 22 miles to the house and will reload Friday. So far so good.

Hi Johnboy
I Finished orientation monday it was just how you described. a few log issues held me to a few hours driving time Monday. This was cleared up tuesday and I ended friday with 2,600 miles. I have a 5:00am Monday at Mckesson in Orlando. do we no longer need comchecks for the lumpers there?
