Going Over the Road with Knight

Once I drop this CT load off Sunday morning I have two preplans for 1200 miles by Tuesday morning. I hope I make good time because that seems a little optimistic on their part.

 

I was able to make it. Ended up over on my logs by 10 minutes to do it though. If traffic weren't so bad from D.C. All the way to Richmond I would have been fine.

 

Had me re power a load off the yard in Charlotte. Has a flat tire that won't go above 40 psi, one is mounted backwards so I can't check it, and two had 120 and 130 psi in them. This load has been sitting there for 3 days and the other driver didn't write it up so it could have been fixed in that time. What a douche.

 

I felt the lumper too far in the trailer for the 27000 pounds that should be left. I went to the dock to check and he told me they had mixed the freight up. He is having to break down pallets and separate the freight. This could take awhile. I am supposed to be at the final in an hour and they are 2 hours away. Not happening.

 

They rejected 100 cases and I have to run those over to ABF before I can go to my next load. my office said they would throw me some extra money for all the BS.

 

I try to do it that way but this time out it hasn't worked out that way. I have had several 10+ hour days with some shorter days mixed in. It still worked out though. Having some shorter days allowed me some good recaps coming back as well as not burning my 70 too fast where I would have a big zero.
I hate having to do resets on the road. I try and get around it as best I can. Only 1800 miles needed to hit 10k this month.
