CARGO EXPRESS......JJ's New truck stop.

Ran into one of our L/O's yesterday who had the choice of quitting or being fired. He was pretty bitter about it. Tried hard to find some sympathy for him, but the truth is, he really screwed the pooch. Got lost in Chicago and ran under a low bridge. Any of our loads going there always says to watch out for them.

 

No, Not yet, I'm in my last section the Community College I am attending, I am going on the range on Monday and looks like on the road with an instructor on Tuesday and then for 4 Weeks total. Why? If there is anything I can help you with let me know. You can PM me as well. TD.

 

Good luck getting that taken care of! Hope you can get it completely out of your hair and keep on truckin!

Soo DM, assume you were able to get into it thru your side box ok. Was yours the pleated kind or the brillo pad kind? Amazing at how much more airflow you can get.

 

Hello all.
Had an ok week this week. Sounds like I may have passed JJ at some point, I was in Elkton the other day.
I think I pissed off my dispatcher yesterday though. I was delivering this morning about 20 miles from the house. So I had made plans for the weekend with the wife.
Then yesterday afternoon he adds a preset on me to pick up at the receiver this morning when I was empty and deliver to Baltimore tomorrow morning.
I called him and told him that I did not want that load, that I wanted to go home. He was not happy. Told me they were in a bind and behind on freight.
So I told him that it was not my problem, they needed to make sure they could move the freight before they accepted it, and that if they did not have the drivers to move all the freight (which they do not) then they needed to change some policy's so that they could keep the good drivers they have and have good incentives for new drivers to come.
He took the load off of me about 30 min later and got me a pickup for Monday lol.
I will have to wait and see if I pissed off the planner. I will know by my loads the next few weeks. I was stuck in the northeast again this past week, and headed into it again Monday.
Never a good sign. Once on the NE regional boards it is almost impossible to get off.
I hauled 2 loads a day all week for 200-250 miles each. Pain in the rear.

 

Nice to know Central is helping you.

 

Where at in Charlie town? That's my hood. Still have lots of family and friend there. Don't tell my DM He'll try to count that as hometime when I swing thru.
