I can't make no money this week pay roll close out Thursday.

 

Heads up freight is slowing down, unless you like North East!

 

I am up here just outside of Syracuse, and there is no freight so they tell me.

 

They always claim freight moving in the NE, I fall for it got on the ne regional I was on it 4 weeks I got 1 week pay they other weeks I was in the hole, I was so pissed off I deliver the last load up there by buffalo on a Friday 10am I was told I have to sit until Monday to get a nother load I told the consignee I don't need an mt I leave there and drove all the way to virginia beach, va Monday morning I show up at the terminal sign another contract to go back otr. Not a lot of freight move in the ne on weekends. And the freight up there is not as great as they claim.

 

yep! delaware,nothing here,at all!

 

Sure does seem slow this weekend thats for sure, sitting around all morning and no preplan yet. Sitting at the TA in Morris across from Costco for what its worth.

 

Told many times about all of this freight up here. Then get told by DM, avoid the East and NE unless want to sit or get short miles, then after told that, get a pplan to comes to the East, and then told, fr8 was slow where I was so better take that one. So it becomes, you tell me avoid the East, send a pplan going East and tell me to take it. Makes no sense what so every, and what really irks me, the planners in PHX can see the load boards as to where the fr8 is good and slow. Today where I am, there was 3 company trucks. They are all gone now, and still I sit.

 

I've been reading you guys this morning and decided to take a 34 right here where I'm at about 250 miles from final. It is a drop anytime between when I picked it up and Wed midnight. Somehow feels better doing a 34 under a load than doing it empty at the final.When I get there, (near Nashville) will put in for home time and hope they can get there in time for the holiday.

 

Horde of trucks sitting in Lancaster all weekend camping.
