Diary of a current Swifty

Funny, you should ask that. I had a friend ask me what kind of alcohol they had me test.

On a serious note, while here in Decatur, I got on the kiosk and checked my service failures. I only got one from the Costco load in LA. That's the way I figured it would work out. I don't have an issue with getting one- I deserve it. I just wasn't wanting to find out the consequences of having three.

 

14 days is the minimum time for an OTR driver to stay out. As long as you stay out at least 14 days, time off is up to you.

I stay out 3-4 weeks.

 

I got my truck back on Wednesday afternoon and got a preplan from Newnan, GA going to 2 Kmarts, one in Crossville, TN and the other in Cookeville, TN. I forgot to write down the miles but I think it was 200-something. Then today I went down to Stevenson, AL to pickup a load going to Laredo, TX (pd miles- 1177).

P.S. the new signature line is the result of my messed up sense of humor and REDD's messed up sense of humor colliding.

 

I dropped the trailer in Laredo on Sunday evening, and had a preplan on Monday evening. A one day wait is actually pretty good for Laredo. The preplan was for a load off the yard there going up to Houston this morning (pd miles 310). There was a snafu with the paperwork (the trailer number listed didn't match the trailer number in the computer) which took them about a hour to fix, so when I finally got hooked up to the trailer, I decided to just stay in Laredo for the night and leave early this morning. I'm in Baytown now with no preplan yet.
