    Planning dept is really irritating me....DM even told them Friday Id be ready to go 0300 this morning after my reset is up cuz I like to start real early so I get parked early. I even called yesterday afternoon to remind them to see if I could get preplanned. Well, still no load and I started my clock early cuz I knew they would pull stupid crap like this since I didn't get preplanned yesterday. What I don't get is their was another driver that dropped after me Sat at Family Dollar too and he gone first thing this morning yet Im still here. I noticed a pattern that those of us assigned to WM terminal get screwed over a lot. Shouldn't be that way being we are all on the same team and should all work together. Im not lazy and a problem child, I ran 4640 miles last week after I totaled it all up, not the 4300 I originally thought. I figured there gotta be at least one gatorade load outta Indy they could have put me on, ####.....

    Finally got bobtailed to gatorade off Decatur Blvd in Indy to get an empty and live load at pepsi on 78th street. Got one of the new 10 series trailers, wonder how long these will last before getting torn up, lol!

    That left a mark.....

    We had a woman JB Hunt driver take down the gate at our warehouse. Hit it hard enough to lift the trailer on one side. On the job 2 weeks. She came in, and handed the VP a card, and said "they'll take care of it".....No apology or anything.
