    So far so good this week. Currently sitting at the TA in Vero Beach Fl preparing to bounce empty up to Jacksonville for my next load that will eventually get me to the one after that to Texas by Tuesday morning and 7 days off.

    Only potential hiccup was as I was driving in to my delivery here I get the bobtail out message stating there are no empties at receiver and want me to cut over to Orlando to pick one up. That wasn't going to really fly for me so when I got to receiver I asked if trailer was scheduled for unload and if I could drop and pick up in the AM. (TA is 1 mile from here) Clerk told me if I didn't mind waiting they would have me done in an hour.

    That wasn't a hard decision

    I pickuped up in Jacksonville last week. It was at the ship yard and customs required a TWIC (which I don't have) Sooo, I found that an escort is required. Schneider has a contract with a local escort company (not that kind of escort lol). Customs will direct you. The guy I had was very knowledgeable and efficient. Was out in 1 hour. Just sayin so you don't get freaked out on approach like I did.
     
    FatDaddy Thanks this.

    I saw the notes. I'm loading at the port now. Pretty smooth sailing. Probably the same guy you had he knows his stuff and we are BSing about football. He's happy since his Jags won last night.

    No. That's a "get out of Florida" load.
