Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

Thank you for the terminology.

 

Got into a couple of live loads due to the account being short of work out of TX. Flipped my sleep schedule to deliver to McLane, then got to my next stop with 4 minutes left on my 14.

Sent my arrival call, and went to bed. Woke up, loaded, and they loaded me illegal. Scaled, returned for rework.

Loaders tried to tell me I couldn't be overweight because they do the same load out every day. I showed them the scale ticket. They looked at the pallet diagram, and noticed that there were far more heavy pallets than normal, and they were all at the back of the truck.

They are flipping the load in the box now. It should balance out easily reversed.

Then, I had dispatch bugging me about sending an arrival call, which the Peoplegarbage machine apparently ate during daylight savings.

Meh. Not anything terribly annoying, but I am losing money and patience sitting here.

 

Yup. I went from over 1k lbs overweight at 41 foot from king to center of tandem group to 33600 with the tandems full forward.

 

Well, about to start another overnighter. Running from Kansas City yard to Nashville yard.

Going to try to Tcall this load in Nashville tomorrow, because it delivers in GA on the 13th at 0230, and cannot be rescheduled and/or delivered early.

If it can't be Tcalled, I will take a 34 a couple days early, before delivering it.

Then, hopefully, I will be back on d&h account loads again.

 

I have complained about weird wear on a single drive, but never provided a picture.

RRO drive. Only this tire has the odd, irregular wear. It has never been underinflated, and all 8 drives are the same age, with @ 160k miles on them. Any ideas?
