Great Plains Transport - A company that cares about drivers... NO BS.

Can't say the same here. And I know of drivers that are leaving also. But I'm trying to hold on. I know things are getting better, but bills come no matter how much I'm making.
This load. ..1700 miles and picked up Thursday morning and can't deliver till Tuesday. So 5-6 days. So about $120 a day. No Bueno! And now I have a a reefer problem I'll have to get fixed tomorrow also.

 

Monday is labor day..most customers are closed...

 

Yep. Know that.

 

What do they say "Happy wife Happy life" So a "Happy Driver" = Successful company, great to hear about a good story of an enterprise moving in the right direction.

 

Finally got this Seattle area delivery done, was told something about "river place", but searching around on google earth revealed nothing. One thing is for sure, parking around this area is among the worst, I thought the attitude and parking availability in the north east was bad! Hoping I get enough time to get this picked up and I can fit it into my recap. Been having a bit of an issue with waiting a long time for dispatch and by then it's too late to make the pick up appointment. Communication is still not too good at times.

 

Got loaded this morning in WA headed to Texas....decent amount of miles and still fits into my recap without wiping my hours completely out.

 

Made it to just south of SLC.... Seen a combine harvester driving north on the interstate.... Not on a flat bed, actually DRIVING along the north bound lanes of I 84.....wth?? Also insane traffic going through the SLC area..this threads been quiet lately...

 

So far so good, Emptied out in Lawrenceville , Ga and immediately loaded up in Chatanooga, Tn headed to City of industry, Ca. I will probably have 1 hr left of my 70 when I get there, should be interesting. Plenty of miles though.

 

Yeah, I know the feeling, I have hometime in for next weekend. I am looking forward to it, will be nice to get some more clothes and other items from home but it will be hard to leave again. But oh well, it's the life we choose to be out here. As long as they keep me moving like they have been I won't complain.
