    Blue Buffalo can be either/or. Depends on whether they have empties or not. If they do live load you, they’re very, very fast.

    Most times they’ll ask you to put your empty in a door. No need to open it or slide the axles.

    Not sliding the axles is pretty hard on the trailer when loading a heavy load. Plus you don’t have a starting point for your truck gauge.

    Ya, Neither did I… until it was mentioned here, maybe.

    Had to take a couple “business days” Off in SC to address a few things, so I’m coming out a bit later in the week than normal. But they have me planned through the holiday.

    Live Unload now at a BS/FS in Woodbury, IN then down to Richmond, IN for a Blue Buffalo load going to KCKS then back to ACT to move a load to Omaha then grab a load out of Omaha heading to Franklin, MA for next Wednesday.

    Live Unload now and all DnH until I hit the Live Unload in the Northeast.

    I do appreciate the PrePlan to keep me rolling over the long weekend.

    stay safe

    My load read the very same way.

    Had to touch base with DM to verify if it was an appointment for Live Load that hadn’t been assigned yet since it said Live Load or if that was in error and it’s actually a DnH with a very wide window.

    Probably rushing at the end of the week planning folks for the Long Holiday and didn’t tap the right buttons.

    expect live load when you get here. They had no emptys except for a trailer another driver just dropped 10 minutes ago so I was put in a door

    Once they finish loading me, I'll drop this load in Olathe tomorrow morning, deadhead back to the yard, then pack up my car and go home. Will most likely come back out on Wednesday

    New hire here for FCC. Orientation next week. Looking forward to it. Prior O/O going to company driver. Cutting my loses as an O/O. Contracts are hard, low rates, broker scams enough said. Wondering if FCC allows CB's in their trucks?
