    27,000 drivers, 60,000 trailers corporation wide amongst all their holdings. And I might add, countless children doing a grownups job lacking the simplest qualification, a CDL.

    Got unloaded pretty quick at Costco 0430 then bounced up to the TA on 90 to wait for reload, since they obviously got surprised since I had a week to get this delivered with them rescheduling without checking on me first, lol! Sat for little over an hour before something came through. Pain not having anyone to call until WM gets straightened out again..... got sent to the Port Of Olympia for a load of rice going to Long Beach, Ca for Wed morning. Hopefully a load to the shop after cuz not being able to cook anything until my inverter is looked at is a royal pain in the wallet.....could just eat stuff out of the can since it is already fully cooked though and got plenty of PB too. Freezer full of pork chops and chicken can't use.....

    Made my 1000 appt on time but sat in the dock an hour and a half before they started on me. Richmond called twice worrying if I was going to make it. I said Ill be fine when they called at 930 while driving through LA then again when I got there and in the dock, guess they don't check the macros, lol! 14 hour day today being I got up 0030 last night and moving. Reload was around the block, totes of chemicals going to Evonik for Monday drop. Little surge going on but not near as bad as the smooth bore tankers I used to pull. Get my inverter fixed or replaced after hopefully.

    Got my load down in San Bernardino Tuesday at noon. Dropped it this evening in Searcy Ark. deadheaded 95 miles to the West Memphis rat hole and taking my 10. Leaving at 0500 heading to Reno for Monday morning. Will get there Sunday afternoon and start a reset. Yes I know, it’s illegal to move the truck on a reset to do business, but truth be told, IDGAF.
