back at swift

well.. after sitting for a few hours, decided to give it a try and see how far i get today. 451 miles in 10.5 hours. had a 3 car and 1 semi accident rite off this morning and nothing since. most of it was one lane untill i got on i-77. then it was dark and i drove a little slower. had a problem with my windsheild freezing up and mirrors too. mirror heater wasn"t working. made a few stops to clean the mirrors. was an interesting and stressful trip. was really my first snow driving trip of any kind. at lleast i didn't hit noone abd madwe it here safely. i stopped at the ta on i-77 ex 41. i want to say thanx a bunch to the driver that came over and help me blindside in the spot. driver on one side had parked crooked and was pretty tight to get in and blindside parking isn't fun on a good day lol. i"m about 2 hours ferom my dewlivery and have till monday to get it there. my sis live couple hours from there, so she said she drive over on sunday.

 

sitting at cvs dc in conroe tx waiting for lumpers to unload this cambell soup load. never done the comcheck. hope i did it rite. ask a nice lady driver next to me and she helped alot thank you.

 

took 2.5 hrs to get finished at cvs. heade over to walmart dc in baytown tx heading for walmart dc in opelousa la. dropped that off in the afternoon and p/_ up another load from there heading to olive branch ms. drove 3.5 hrs and only made 147 miles. was gonna be late so they repowered it last nite. now waiting for another load

 

driving 18 hrs a day? ####...i think any company will fire you for that. lucky d.o.t. didn't catch you. good luck on whatever you choose to go with

 

well.. i sure goofed this time. i woke up this morning and qualcom said i have only 8.5 hrs to drive.hmmm talked to my driver leader friday morning and he mentioned i was getting close on my 70. i mentioned i have 11 friday, and 9 on sat.(today) and looked like 3.5 on sunday. so should be no problem making the monday delivery. i asked him how do i check for recap on elogs and he wasn't sure. so i said ask someone and let me know when i talk to him again. but he said he didn't see any problems making the delivery. so this morning, i did a quick numbers check and thought i could make it with the 8~5 hrs today and the 3.5 hrs tomorrow.( don't know where the nine hours i thought i had went). drove the 8 hrs and pulled in this little gas station off of us 61 in bowling greens mo. to see if there's any truck stops or rest areas in my little t/s book. and there wasn't any except this one within the 30 min. i had left. and i'm still 2015 mile away from drop. called dispatch to see if he can help me with my hours and he said i had NO hours for tomorrow. he explained since i took the 34 hr reset 7 days ago, the 3.5 hrs isn't considered. just great! he said the drop doesn't have to be there till the 5th even though the qualcom says it 0700 monday morning delivery. so no service failure. we talked and decided to do a 34 reset now and get hours back. !,llget up and leave around 0200 monday morning and still make the 0700 monday delivery time. now stuck here in this little place. saw a big screen in front of store..so i hope they play tthe game tomorrow
