Conway Truckload Drivers what is your 20?

Tried to get in a 34. F/M said no way!! On my way to Gardena, CA for a morning delivery. At least it is cool there. Tired of the 100 degree heat.

 

Weird day!

We ended up getting dh'ed 315 miles to a city about 60 miles south of Jacksonville to pick up at a paper plant. Once we got there however, they send load unassigned and sent us up to the CWF yard in Jacksonville to pick up a relay headed for NM.

About an hour after leaving the CWF yard with the NM load I got a message that the load was not able to be delivered in NM due to the wild fires so we would be dropping it at the Lancastr terminal instead.

When they dispatced us for that it was too early so I had to call in and explain that because of Chris' hours we were going to have to sit for 5 hours tonight while he waits for hours to come back at midnight and was finally able to get it moved back enough for us to (hopefully) make it on time.

Well I should have been asleep hours ago now!

Drive safe and keep the shiny side up!

Katey, welcome to the world of trucking. It will be better tomorrow. Hope u get some rest. Keep us up today. 18th of July getting closer. I will give my 2 week notice tomorrow. Kinda scary. Mark

 

Yep, as they say, trucking happens!

We dropped the load in Lancaster this morning and now we are at the shop waiting for them to take a look at our truck.

We noticed their was soot on both sides of the truck all the way up near the front tires yesterday and then we realized hot air that felt like it was probably exhaust was blowing out from under both sides of our truck.

Hopefully they will let me know soon how long it's gonna take to fix. I will let you all know.

At the T/A in Ontario, CA waiting to get hours back at midnight. What a giant PITA. Pick up in LA in the a.m. and headed for El Paso. Going to miss the nice weather out here.

 

Well ended up getting out of the north dallas KW at about 11 pm then had to rescue a load at the south dallas KW this afternoon headed to Gering, NE. Due there at 8 AM MD tomorrow but not sure we will make it. Being at KW really messed our schedules up so he is driving now and I am supposed to try and sleep after only being up for 8 hours or so.... :/

At the J in Pecos, TX on my way to IN for a drop and hook scheduled for Tuesday. I plan to get there Sunday and try to do it then.
