    There are good weeks in trucking and bad ones...

    Came in around 930 yesterday and asked for a load with some miles since the last two loads out and back took 4 days and was 1266 miles. (Guess im on the southern pa/nj regional) Given a run to indy with 45k of kitty litter. It hit my qc at 945 and was due at 2130. Super tight due to mtns hos and governers, but o well. Rolled on but ppl couldnt drive in west va. Several accidents before getting wrapped up in the big one in nitro.

    I did my best but it wasnt good rnough.m to get there. Called the number on qc and a vm said ppl there from 630-0000. So parked in ohio and drove in this morning obly to find out they recieve from 1800-0000. So sitting at pilot hoping i can get worked in tonight.

    Im getting realky good at making 1 day runs become two though....hope everyone elses luck is better than mine

    I wish I had no clue what you are talking about. I was there not that long ago, and am on one now.

    Made it to shipper in Brownsville, WI. I can't mind read, so, I'm sitting here waiting for the refer to cool down to 32 deg. Definitely won't make Groveport today.

    Ugh...
    If it weren't for bad luck...
    I'd have no luck at all...

    FM just called me asking if I wanted a solo run to California... And guess who has Home Time this weekend with doctors appointments scheduled on Friday and Monday???? ME!!!

    Ugh... {pout, sniff, pout, sob, sniff}

    I don't have home time scheduled yet. I need miles to recover from that week of no pay. Bet I won't see that kind of run.

    I couldn't even get advanced notice for customer's required refer setting.

    Can anyone let me know the cell phone policy here, is wireless Bluetooth allowed? Also I was told .38 a mile for refreshers is this true?

    Produce loads are 33 degrees, continuos, BH are 34 degrees either start stop or continuos. Always precool the trailer to said temp before arriving.

    Bluetooth is the only way, either headset or thru the stereo. .38 then .39 after a year.
