Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

OK I can now officially join this thread. I'm an OO hopper driver as of 1:00 ctz. (?) First load picks up Thur. am in Denison, IA bound for channahon, IL.. Load of DDG.....Yippeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

BHW, Where are you based?

 

congrats!!!!! 5mouths wecome tothe club!!!!!!

 

well you did pull a power only didn't ya? technically speaking you've been an owner op then

 

Back to hauling rocks for me. The truck was smothering down on last load. I could only pull 7th(Super 10). Got back went to town and got a fuel filter. Only 1 small spin on on this truck. I guess we'll find out tomorrow if that was it. Ain't it nice to get on here and find out all of us deal with mechanical problems plumb regular. On the plus side loading rocks is much easier than loading grain out of a farm bin.

 

well todays saga!!lol i see why that driver didnt want to come to chicago!!!!holy crap the traffic in the am rush hour is terrible!!!!! made my 6 am drop and took 1 1/2 to go 40 miles to my next drop,yes i could have used the toll roads ,and saved alot of time but i would have just waited in line anyway for 2 hours,,,the dino dont like waiting lol,iv never waited on anyone,i go when i gots to go!!!!but the timeing was good, had to call an illinois roker here and got a great run going back to tenn,and then georgia,the suewannee river no less lol ahhhhhh going south again!!!! but the load pays as well as the last one but it will all be down hill lol with the rout i planed ,hopefully little construction zones ,what a time killer but from building roads and bridges dont get caught speeding in those zones big bucks,should be in tenn buy 1-2 tommoro and in goergia buy friday ,and hopefully pic up a nice short run,but ill take what i can get, so with these two runs this week should put me over the $3,oo0 mark in 5 days oh well gots to get some sleep,good thing i pissed off the 9 bucks at pilot and scaled i was 1400 ovr on my rears good thing the place i loaded at was right around the corner, and #### the pilot on I 80 and exit 122 in illionose is a freaking zoo,crap toook me an hour to get fuel and weighed, ,thats why im sitting here now ,want an early start ,3 am should do, beat the traffic lol at least get on the main highway heading south, once again congrats 5 mouths go get um!!!!!!! make it happen man
