Bingo!! There are times when I do this job that I sit back and say to myself, “what for”? My knowledge, insight, expertise means nothing. Why should I do anything beyond my job safely? I wasn’t hired to think, I was hired to do a job. My problem? I have always taken a step back and analyzed a problem and came up with a solution. Here? Totally useless. I’m just a truck driver. I’ve learned a long time ago not to waste my breath, no one listens or cares.

Next adventure, Laredo to reload going back to Colonial Heights with a load of cooler doors made in Mexico. Nice 2006 mile trip.

Really don't know how much,I'll last,went ahead and took a weeks vacation,wasn't planned,but it's been that way for a few weeks.
Call in because I can't get fuel,because they still have me on 2 trips earlier,big change from when I started.MidWest_MacDaddy, 4mer trucker, Silverdriver and 2 others Thank this. -
And yet we were all told that nothing would change after the buyout. IDK about y’all, but it changed-180 degrees. Drivers sitting in RVA? All those TX loads sitting on the WM yard and yet somehow when asking to go west, but not too far sometimes, there was never any freight (even though I knew there was out of said customer)? It’s like they are trying to run people away. Eventually, even the newbies are going to look at the low cpm, read about the shenanigans, and skip over Abilene. They’ll become one of the new TransAm, Cargo Transporters or other bottom of the barrel companies. You know things are messed up when even JB is scratching his head. I have been thinking about getting back in the game. Haven’t even thought once about coming back here, though, and that’s sad to say because I loved working there.

I swear if the planners had brains they would be dangerous.....get my furniture unloaded in Vail this morning and of course no preplan, even with my DM repeatedly messaging the planner. Couldn't stay parked in the Apt complex I delivered to and so I decided to head west to the scenic view to wait but was full so I headed to Dotsero figuring could go any direction from there. DM called when I got there and said the planner said head towards Denver. Ok, turn around and head towards Denver. Get east of Vail and stuck in a few mile backup due to construction and DM calls and says they are putting a load in the system and to head towards Olathe, CO. I look the place up and the d--n place is south of Grand Junction, the opposite of Denver.....so I get through the backup and construction and head west again but can't get to first pickup til tomorrow morning due to the merry-go-round crap and missing cut off for loading today. First pickup is a load of seed at an AG place then second pickup in Aurora is a crate of exhibition stuff. Crate is going to Havre De Grace, Md and the seed to Orangeburg, Sc. Crate don't deliver til next Tues. and the Seed Wed. Told DM going to have to split it somewhere. Swift yard in Columbus is only place can think of on route or could take it to Richmond and if they want to take the crate off and put it with other stuff going up towards Md. Either way be at either place Friday. Im not sitting on it, besides I got home time coming up starting the 7th with a doc appt at the VA on the 8th. Watch the seed load be loaded all the way back and the crate won't fit.....

Tel them you’ll drop it in WM, that seems like the go to place for freight being dropped and winding up being late. Apparently, based on what I hear, late freight is ok with the planners.
Lonesome and jarhead0311 Thank this.
