    Ya but this has been an issue in Trenton dating back months cant blame it in holiday when its been happening for awhile. Something needs done about Trenton freight area plain and simple. 3.5days and only 550+ miles is a #### joke.

    They've bounced drivers in the past from GA to Trenton for freight. Why not bounce OH to IL, Wisconsin, PA, etc to keep us movin . No instead its just sit at that ####hole terminal

    Where!

    I took a nap over at Wayne Madison. Woke up hungry, went to Skyline and went ahead and did some grocery shopping since I was out that way. Ran into another driver on his way into Kroger that had been here since yesterday. So I guess I'm gonna do some laundry and get comfortable. They'll probably give me a 300 mile load due late Monday afternoon with a strict appt time later this evening.

    It is. I had a bit of a wait in Wisconsin yesterday. The guy I just talked to said he was on the list in Cartersville (I think that's what he said) then on the list in Albany, and now he's on the list here. I wonder how his miles this week are gonna look.

    Was listening some Financial channel as I drove and they did a story about that stuff. Said it is selling 200% above predictions.

    People have gone nuts over the stuff. I guess a lot of people get the impression that since it is "water" that laws like open container don't apply. A police department in Wisconsin had to make a PSA and tell people that there were still rules when drinking White Claw.
     
    IH Truck Guy and MIT Thank this.
