Alabama sent me a letter where I had to go online and register for jury duty selection within 10 days, not even 2 weeks later, they sent me a letter saying to call them on March 20th after 4pm to get info on jury duty starting March 23. Good thing I only live 10 minutes from the courthouse

I made it to So. San Francisco Saturday afternoon, and took at a 34 at the customer. It was a peaceful restart. I walked to a few of the restaurants near by for food, and etc. Monday rolled around, I got unloaded in 17 minutes, and pulled back out on street to let the morning rush die down. Even at 10am in San Francisco, traffic was still bumper to bumper.
I made it over to Lodi, took a shower, and headed to my pickup. I took a gamble to see if I could get loaded early. I arrived at 1pm for a 330 appt. And was given a door, and before I could get to dock, the lady had already loaded 3 of the 15 pallets. So at 140pm, I m back on the road, and headed to I 80 EB.
I eventually made it to Elko, NV Monday night, then made it to Laurel, MT last night, and now sitting about a mile from delivery in the morning.
As I was almost to Bismarck, my dispatcher called me and told me that they re transferring him to the inbound planner position, and my new dispatcher would be Jim, the outbound planner. I thanked him for all he s done, and hated to lose him as a DM. He was a big part of my success here. I have very little experience dealing with Jim, but so far dealing with him has been good. 3 Loads of 1500, 1100, and 1830 miles outbound.
I will keep you posted how Jim and I get along. If you have any questions ask away -
I left Grady Hudson when Jim and his son Devin went over to S&S in December. In my opinion they were the glue holding that place together. They were the only dispatchers there. Jim has been trying to get me to come over to S&S since he got there.
I’m going to be starting over there on Monday so maybe I’ll see you around. I hope you have a good experience with Jim. Like I said, him and his son Devin are the reason I’m going there.
Thanks to you and LDYTRUCKER for all the posts on this thread. It has been very informative and helped in my decision.Vic Firth, bigkev1115, Lonesome and 1 other person Thank this. -
Today went fairly good so far. I unloaded at US Foods in Bismarck today. Showed up at 1030 for 11 appt. Got a door at 1140, and 1220 got a call to get my bills. I deadheaded to Fargo to pick up tomorrow, I took a chance to see if it was ready today. Once I got to Dakota Milling, my load was the only one not ready out of the 4 loading tomorrow. The man was super nice and told me come back by 9am, and he ll load me before everyone else is scheduled to be there. So in the am, I ll sneak back over there and get loaded and be down the road before my 12pm appt.
Not a bad start at all for next week, will be looking at roughly 2000 miles to start the week.
Now if Jim and Devin can convince Brian to turn these trucks upLonesome, drvrtech77, Gutter and 2 others Thank this. -

Hi Bigkev 1115. I decided not to go with S&S. They just weren’t a great fit for me. I went to one day of orientation and decided not to stay.
I went back to pneumatic tankers here in Duluth. It’s where I worked before Grady Hudson.
Thanks to you and ladytrucker for all the info. Stay safe.Lonesome, LDYTRUCKER and bigkev1115 Thank this. -
Wishing you all the best pulling the tankers. Stay safe out there! The world is going crazy right now lol.Gutter, drvrtech77, bigkev1115 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Haven’t heard anything from you guys in awhile. How’s it going over there? I enjoyed reading about all your travels.
LDYTRUCKER Thanks this.
