Starting at Crete 2/18/26

Picking up a load in the morning and heading to Indiana. From there, who knows. Talked to someone about my asset manager who said he’s going to talk to her tomorrow and basically said I wasn’t driving the miles that I need to, turning the situation onto me and not taking me seriously. I might be looking for another job unless this changes. Im too old to be talked to like a child and putting it back on me. We have days off for a reason and unless I get those days off to go to dr appointments then I won’t be driving very long. I’m not going to put in for days off and have Any asset manager try to have me work on my days off when they’ve been approved then their truck just won’t move.

 

Why do I dislike truck stops? Because, I’m forced to put up with the smell of pot coming from multiple trucks. It comes into my vents and unless I want to sleep without A/C I have to put up with it or sleep in rest areas where I can get away from it. Maybe I should get out of trucking altogether and go do something else. Problem is that it puts me living in my car with nowhere to go.

 

Said my miles were 8300 March and 7300 April and was told they needed to be more. This came from 1 above the asset manager, BB-

 

8300 March and 7300 April. In April I had issues with my tractor and several trailers. And on top of that, short dispatches and being held up 4 hours at a couple of shippers and several hours at receivers. I can’t run miles in the shop or if I’m sitting to get loaded/unloaded. Not making excuses, just stating facts. Several times I rejected loads due to them being anywhere from 23 miles to 180 miles

 

I have had my permanent asset manager for a few weeks. She acts like I work for Delta Airlines. I’ve been given a run tomorrow for 714 miles and a little over 24 hours to get there…. Through Macon Georgia, Atlanta, Nashville, Bowling Green, Louisville and on up to Seymour, IN. They figure 47mph and at that it will be a little over 15hrs drive time. I can legally drive 11, so do I drive like a nut job taking chances through Monteagle or call in and tell them it’s going to be late? Actually, I’m not getting a ticket for anyone for any reason.
