    Finally got the pay straight, still rolling, miles are dropping, 'workflow' not working to well, system went down twice in a week, finished a load Friday night, next load is Monday at 1400! So sitting at a PEELOT for now, and they expected me to sit at the Qualawash which is closed over the weekend, no bathroom, nothing!

    At least make them give you the 65$ layover pay.
    I've bee running laps up and down I-5 since Walmart shut down, western 11 is a gravy train of long and open miles...tell no one!
    On second thought...I have only been getting 50 mile runs, western 11 is kind of like a Dyson vacuum cleaner if a Dyson vacuum cleaner sucked.

    We always have two options: laughter or tears...this job is a bi-polar roller-coaster of one morphing into the other.
    Good luck

    Again, don't blame workflow, blame operations for not having a clue how to use it.

    Got my truck back from maintenance, Houston guys are sloooow! Had them weld my hose rack, what a joke! Looks like snot on it, someone needs welding lessons! Hope it holds, I'm in Houston getting loaded, then I'm off to Bakersfield, Ca! I'm going to ask for a couple saw off when I get to Southgate to drop the trailer so I can visit my daughter and grandson.

    You get lots of nice west coast runs. I'm still waiting for one to come my way. Furthest I've been is Hudson,CO
