Calex Express....My New Home!

Well I'm all ready to leave in the morning. My fridge is stocked, laundry done and reset finished, so I get to relax tonight and watch the basketball game with my wife.

I have to be in Orlando to unload with a 1:30pm appointment. The problem I have is that my reload is scheduled for 2pm in Jacksonville. I doubt I can unload and be in J'ville in a half hour. I'll leave early tomorrow and get there early and call dispatch to figure out this little mess. I know what my whole week is going to be so this little scheduling snafu will play a big roll in my week.

I did this same run 2 weeks ago and it worked out just fine without any problems, but it required unloading in Orlando, loading in J'ville, unloading in Spartanburg SC, and dropping and hook in Greenville SC....all in the same day. Then dropping the load in Mountaintop PA the next evening.

Stay tuned for more!........

 

I'll be in the yard around 8pm tomorrow. Maybe I'll see you there. This will be the easiest orientation you ever had, trust me.

 

Well I'm sitting in a motel in Duncan SC, not by choice believe me. My A/C went out this morning leaving Jacksonville. The company doesn't fix A/C's on the road, but they do pay for a motel. This has been a very long hot day. I'll write my entry about the delivery(9 hrs), when I get to Pittston.

 

Told you.......congratulations and welcome aboard. You are not the only one that had to have the cleaning service come in to clean the truck. They started a new policy in the last year that if your truck needs to be cleaned by the cleaning service it will be charged back to the last driver. The local gig won't last long. Who's your assigned dispatcher? If it's Billy then you're on the local board, if it's Louie then you're on the regional board. Either one will be a pleasure to work with. If you have any questions just ask. Good luck.
