i dont mind if my dm sets my pta, when authorized... but what gets my goat is when you refuse stupid milkman routes and the local paper boy routes and then the planners set yer pta out so far you wont get a pp and dont know it till ya do a mac30 and get the 'yer pta is more than 18hrs out'..
i got into it with memphis for doing this and was told im not allowed to curse on the qc.. so i went inside to express my opinions.. memphis.. why do we even have that rathole
Good night from...

Here at the Loves, just west of Texarkana. Truck finally done at 1100 and set my PTA for 1115, and the good old planners, send me a pplan for a load that was ready this morning, send it to me at 1700 and they wanted it delivered 400 miles by 0600. Refused, up all day and not running all night, on a load that was ready this morning. Soup out of Paris. Also, I was going to need to hunt an mt. Then they also back it up with a live load at 2000 tomorrow and want that 700 miles on the 8th, by 2000. Not pulling two all nighters in a row, plus it was delivering up in Joilet, and after the storm, then get stuck up there on a Friday night, not happening.

I go as far as necessary to get to someplace I (I...) feel is a safe place to park.
One time I delivered out east, and the closest truck stop was 40 miles away. My DM told me to just get somewhere safe, even if it meant 40 miles.
The true waste of resources would be to be involved in an accident because you parked on an on/off ramp and someone hit you.
Or parked somewhere unsafe and had the truck broken into or stolen (possibly with your dead body tossed out). -
Rest area in Missouri, south Texas bound. -
Taking the baton at MM 162 I-70 back in Effingham. Driving conditions much improved. Tulsa at sunrise, then on to the city. Good night...
"I'm tired of layin' back, hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound." -

they sent me this load 3xs yesterday and i had turned it down to low hos picking it up last night. awoke this morning to 2hrs of nada on mac 30's then this load popped up again..dont want another heavy load, but i also didnt feel like sitting in walmart parking lot all day feeding the birds and killing ants.. yes i was bored, lol..
