    Maybe they should quit booking so many loads up here, or else up the rates enough to cover a long deadhead out to greener pastures...maybe they need fewer drivers to babysit trucks.

    Not when it's caused by a lack of freight or piss poor planning

    My asset mgr had told me when i grabbed a load to san marcos tx from phx from another driver that they didn’t have any customers in san antonio region and they didn’t have me preplanned for that reason and they were hesitant about long dh.. that’s when I told them that if that’s the case, I’m not accepting any more loads to this area no matter the reason and then they turn around shortly after that deadheaded me all the way up to Sunnyvale, Texas, 240 mile deadhead… But with Washington this is highly unusual. This is the first time in couple years that I’ve actually seen this occur in this region of Washington, especially

    Looks like I am following you. Picking up tomorrow in Connell delivering Tuesday in Zeeland. But the fuel solution is nuts. Only 1 fill up in Beloit, WI, the rest are partials

    Says temp control freight, but they didn't put down any temps. Did your load info have any?

    They didn’t put any on mine. I’m just having my trailer pre-cooled down -10 just in case… My fuel solutions they got me fueling at Ritzville, then Missoula, then Mandan, North Dakota then Beloit…. by the way the location in Zeeland it says Hillshire Farms, but it’s Tyson..Tyson owns that company

    I did that run about a month ago, temp was -10. Pickup was great, barely got a 30 in before they had me done. Delivery took about 3hrs iirc. There's a little truckstop north of Tyson where the road ends that has a washout fyi.

    Just had my trailer washed out there.(There are actually 2 A1s, one by the King City wash and one right next to the J....maybe the same people) Very competitive truck washes here. As I was turning in to get to the washout pit, the other guy was at the street trying to wave me in. When I was leaving, the A1 guy was out there doing the same thing. My trailer wasn't horribly dirty, but given that this is delivering to a Tyson place, I figured I would have a receipt for a pre-load washout.
