Instant O/O and Load boards

i don't know what kind of gps you have i have a garmin and they make a exterior antenna for them. yours might not be getting the satilite signal very well in the cab even if it is in the window. mines a nuvi 660 and it has the flip up antenna on it keep that flip up sqaure as flat as possible to recieve the signal the best a lot of guys flip the antenna all the way to where oit stands straight up and it doesn't work as well. as was stated before do NOT rely on that gps for directions they are designed for cars and thier directions are for where a car can go. Best advice you can get is get a truckers atlas the one with the wiegh stations shown for all states its high but its worth it and when you get your paperwork for your delivery make sure to get a phone number for the reciever that way when you get your route planned outand know what highway that you are coming into the town on you can then call them and get their local directions to their place. most know how the trucks get to them and will give you good directions plus will tell you to watch for certain landmarks to turn at for example like turn right when you get to hwy 19 there is a car dealer on the left right berfore the turn.

 

we pull hoppers now plus haul some machinery for a local farm equipment auctioneer on step deck and low boy.i have about 9000 bushels of wheat and corn to haul next week its off farm hauling lined up for next week. hopefully start tuesday hauling that, our other two trucks haul soymeal and feed from a area feed mill. Marci is the one that answered the phone sHe seemed pretty nice and seemed to know the area where we are located at. i am interested in talking to them again monday. i think they could keep me busy. did they say anything as to how long you would have to stay out or do they try to load to your schedule?

 

that sounds like lots of fun i was the same way the first time i loaded soymeal at adm in mexico, you load inside a building,when you pull in they scale you out empty them you have to pull up. the loader told me to pull up when the light is green and stop on red. ok thats simple enough. then he said when the light blinks back up. well pulling foreward was simple but i didnt know that he meant blinking lights mean back ALL the way back on the scale so he blinked the lights and i backed up until he stopped blinking the lights, then i stopped i set there for a good two or three minutes until i finally heard him hollering at me to back all the way up. we both had a good laugh about it but he told me that the night guy would have gave me hell for not following directions.

 

atlantas a zoo go thru there as late as possible or at least midday

 

this is the situatuon i think where looking for we have our own authority. so no lease on's but i think that since i am located right in the middle of the midwest i could get home on a regular basisespecially on the weekends. i have a few more questions for you i will ask you about them next week after i talk to them again.

 

never been thru the woods that direction wont be much help
