    Sorry for the delay, but I've had a ####show to attend to. Delivered in Charleston this morning, then bobtailed back to garden City. 4 trailer moves then a relay to Coraopolis, but so far I've accomplished nothing. First trailer was damaged, second trailer inoperable lights.... Yeah.... Does anyone inspect equipment anymore?!

    Unfortunately alot of drivers pass the buck and let it slide rather than take time to do whats right. If we were paod hourly id do trailer moves all day amd repair trailers to a T lol

    I've said the same many times. I protect my CDL, and moving a bad trailer is not worth the risk. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Monday-thursday i made about900 and Friday and today just 25 and 65 lol it is what it is for now. I leave it to it being a slow season and hopefully things pick up alot next time im out here

    It's obvious that you do. And that's a good thing. Just keep on the way you're going as far as checking your trailer before you grab it.

    I'm here at a truck stop right at the border of Virgina on i-81. Surprised to find spots open at 830pm but do to the spacing if you had a trailer and did not set up right you were not getting in. Thankfully I'm in a Bob tail and was going to make a spot next to the curb but saw all the open spots and said to hell with it and back into one. A few drivers gave up trying to get in a spot and made room next to the scale. Only way into the truck stop now is thru the fuel isle do to that.

    The place I went to was EcoLab and it was a pain getting there since the routing takes you thru small county roads with blind corners that require you to turn into the oncoming traffic lane to make the turn with the trailer. Had to call Schneider since they forgot to mention in the work assignment that I needed a gate code to get in.

    I know they have a Eco Lab dedicated account out of Coroapolis so this must be where they grab their loads from.

    Man that was me Tuesday night after driving 650 miles. Made it to the pilot/flying J on exit 251 off of i80(1) right near linville virginia. Total olympics of backing. Needed a spotter lol got honked at by a crst to trainer duo in a flatbed. They needed a spotter in the end as well because the trainer was having a hard time more or less setting up his backing with the small space that was available. At that point no dry van at 53 or even 50 could back into those spots. Lol F that man lol
