Calex Express....My New Home!

That's a shame. But I do understand your position on this, and I agree with you. Good luck in your next job. Keep in touch and let us know how things are going.

 

Boy this profession really can get on ones nerves sometimes. I got home Sunday and have all my pre-plans for the rest of the week. So what happens? I go to start my truck up today and nothing, zilch, nada dead. Now last week on my way back to the terminal I had some issue with my A/C (fixed and COLD), and it needed a service (done), also I was smelling an awful smell that smelled like rotten eggs. I wrote the truck up and got it back with everything fixed, so I thought. To make a long story short, the rotten egg smell was 2 of my batteries had gotten fried and the smell was acid burning. Well as I write this road service has just replaced all four batteries and I'm good to go. I'll be up in Orlando around 10pm to start my week. I'll check in during the week. Be safe all, God Bless!

 

Well I'm back home. I left last Wednesday night and drove up to Orlando to unload 5am Thursday. I was empty by 6am and on my way to Jacksonville to reload. I was done in Jacksonville at 11am and headed to Spartanburg SC to unload as soon as I get there. I got to the consignee at 8pm and was empty by 8:30. I then dead headed to Greenville for a drop and hook and was done there at 10pm. I headed over to the T/A at the 63 mm and took my 10 hour break. I woke up early Friday and got to Mountaintop PA at 8:30 and dropped my loaded trailer at the dock, got my papers signed then drove to the terminal for fuel and my 10 hour break. I was already dispatched Friday morning to pick up a loaded trailer in Lewisburg PA for a load that delivers in Hollywood Florida Tuesday morning. My miles for the week are a little light (2600), but I was only gone 4 1/2 days. Louie told me Friday that be ready to load as soon as I get empty. He said I'll be going west this coming week. I hope so, it's a little tiring with all these loads and unloads. I need a nice 5 day trip out west with one pick and one drop. I seem to get alot of rest running coast to coast....lol.

 

We do go through KC on our west coast runs, but unfortunately we only hire at the end or beginning of our freight lanes. It makes for more efficient and happy drivers.
