Oh, yeah. It's part of my wake up routine. Look through the curtains out the front window, try to remember where I'm at and if have an appointment I'm supposed to get to or not.
On a side note in my previous life, I had a stretch where I, flew to NC, stayed at airport hotel, had a meeting in the morning. Flew back home to California that evening. Went home, got my car drove to SF. Went to a park and fly hotel, hopped a flight to Singapore. After 3 days, flew back to SF, arriving the night before the morning I left Singapore. Spent the night in the hotel. Drove home, grabbed a shuttle to the airport, flew to Colorado Springs for a 2 day meeting. Then drove to Denver for a day and night, flew back home ... went to bed early. Wife walks in the bedroom, I came out of dead sleep yelling at her to get out of my hotel room ... She just said you're home, shut up and go back to sleep. ... Trucking is easy.

Been truckin for 22yrs. I've had many of those 20hr days. I just like to travel. So many people never even leave the state in which they were born in.

So I made it to Ohio.. Dropped my load no issues.. Prior to getting there I called for the next load.. They tell me, yep we got 5 loads need to come back down here, we will put u on one.. Wait!! How much do they pay? I'm told $1100.00! $1100.00 for 750 miles? Nah!! I'm here to make more than $1.46 a mile.. Well we have a lot of other drivers who will take them!! So I say, let them at at!!
Well 2 hrs later I call back and say, do we have tractor parts from Chicago to Wichita, they say yes!! I tell them I'm going to dead head to Chicago 250 miles.. Well you don't want to do that!! Well sure I do, tractor parts pay $1400, I'll drive 250 miles to make $300.00 more dollars!
Well I'm told at that point that I have already been assigned a load from Indy to Hutchison, it's 700 miles and paid $1250.00 // I inform them that they can not assign loads to me, I'm an IC!!
Well if you don't take it, we will give it to this other guy... OK!! Give it to him!!
Ivan, will you please take this load we need it picked up and your the only one around to do it??? Now that's better, and I'll help you, but not happy about it!!
Might be time to take my truck and head to another Roadrunner location.. This will drive me crazy.. For some reason all we know the last few months is how to get cheap freight.. I'm doing ok, but I'm here to make a killing!!stormy379 and mountaingote Thank this. -
Well yet another check short cash.. -$450.00 not on here.. Ugh!!
It's a full time job keeping up with these guys and the money they take sometimes..
I hope we get back to how it use to be soon..mountaingote Thanks this. -
