    Duh! quote of the day. Get to my delivery today, back up to the door, stop short to go back and open the doors. Dock worker is standing at the open dock door. Take off my lock, pop off the seal and open the doors ... dock worker looks at the truck and says "uhh ... I'll be right back, I gotta go get a forklift". Not sure what he was expecting to see in the back of the truck.

    Sumner at the truck stop ... pick up tomorrow and head back to MN ...

    Ozona, TX. Send in loaded call this morning, Eta to first drop Sunday morning at 0700. About 2 hours later receive 3 messages. #1 Load assignment rescheduled for delivery 8/4 1159 - 8/5 0200, #2, Stop 1 appt 8/4 @ 0700, #3 final rescheduled 8/4 @ 0930. Final is Fontana. 1st stop is Tracy. Send in a msg to DM to get clarification from CSR and why the change when it was a open window to start with, and so far, no reply. Well guess that I will be taking my time. Have from now until 0700 Monday to get 1500 miles.

    Then another message, according to our records, I qualify to become a Mentor. Well duh, I was already once, so fire one back, I will Mentor again, but only students that just need 50 hours. So far, no reply.

    First rejected preplan was from the Walmart DC in Grandview, WA to Ontario, CA....no weight. PLUS they wanted MT and loaded weights so you know it's gonna be HEAVY.

    Next was from Hermiston, OR to Los Angeles for delivery on 08/05 but no delivery appointment. PLUS it's going to a grocery DC, I don't think so!

    Got my 2200 mile run done in DFW area, was looking for about 1000 more miles but they hooked me up with a 1500 mile run instead. First stop is scheduled for Friday morning in Vegas and final is in Fresno CA. Pay period cutoff is noon on Fri so figured to just bebop along since we are climbing the continental divide and suffering low mileage. Customer at first stop calls and say "I can take it as soon as you can get it here". Dang I wish I had known, only drove 600 miles today in 9 hours due to taking a shower and a big fat breakfast and a nap. Would have broken off 100 more miles today and shoot for a chance at 3700 miles.

    In other news, was struck and run at a truck stop, caught on my dashcam.

    the rain has caught up to me from Seattle, here in New Mexico getting drenched in the Summer? lol

    I couldn't find any info on his company, J&C out of Dinuba CA. He just put a little scratch on the trailer is all, I will get ahold of Xtra lease and see what they want to do about it.

    NO I'm way too shy to post things on facebook lol, I do know what you are talking about though lol some of those people just overshare. I can post stuff on here because I don't really 'know' you guys lol you know what I mean? On facebook there is a lot of family and I don't want them knowing my secret inner thoughts lol.
