    *sighs and sobs* Just another perfect day......NOT!!!! Day starts out with the trk rocking. One of my own companies drivers hits me. He was pulling into the slot next to me, which is REALLY tight at this place, and had forgot to close his tlr door. No damage to my tlr but he lost his door.

    Then I get LOST again, trying to get from the washout to the bud place. Maybe slightly late tomorrow. Going to be real dang close for sure!!!

    Hey, is anyone else having problems with recieving these updates on their email? Seems like, since they did their update a couple of weeks ago, not getting any of the threads. snowwy, you confusing, er confuser geek :)biggrin_25522:), any ideers?

    Uhg!!! I don't know where to start, first last night I was going to meet up with my sister, on my way to make my delivery, and stop for an hour or so, but they said there was another driver that wasn't going to make his appointment, and were going to have me swap loads with him. I waited as long as I could and he never showed so they said go ahead and make my delivery.

    Ok no problem, they were supposed to find me a load to pick up in Michigan, and drag to the yard in Columbus, Oh and drop, but the only load the found goes to PA. So they said it was too far out of route to drop down to Columbus.

    I was supposed to have hometime this weekend, plus my truck is due for DOT inspection, and the registration expiress at the end of the month.

    So I again made plans to see my sister, as I wasn't supposed to pick up till 1300 tomorrow in Zeeland, but when I called the broker they said it was FCFS starting at 0900, so I had to get over there to take my break. so I got the shaft again. Don't get me wrong, I know this happens, but I still like the company, but I'm worn out. I need a break.

    your on your own with your phone bud. :) i have a hard time remembering my own phone. let alone other models.

    i know if you have an android phone though. and you did the software update. EVERYBODY is having problems. patches are rolling out as fast as possible.

    you should invest in google maps or gps on your phone. LOL. no more getting lost. pcmiler actually let me down last week. had to turn on sprint nav to find my load in albuquerque. i've got 3 different programs on phone along with pcmiler. NONE of them could find broadway street.

    good thing for sprint. otherwise i'd have to learn spanish to ask for directions.

    ON STRIKE IN LOVELOCK NEVADA.

    this truck is g oing nowhere untill i get reimbursed for every ###### dollar i've put into this company.

    i was told i'd have to buy new mexico permit cuz we don't travel enough to buy whatever they want. i got stuck with an oversize permit. and flags for the truck to go into albuquerque. $175 that trip cost me. add all other permits and tools for the truck becuase i can't get replacements. we're up to $500.

    anyone need any oversize signs and flags or bungee cords? when i leave. that stuff comes with ME.

    went and picked up load from reno back to clearfield utah. fueld up in battle mountain. couldn't get any authorization for a gallon of oil on the fuel card. another $20 i spend.

    sorry jess. looking like the tarps went rolling down the road along with my stuff. my truck which was down for repairs decided to get a new driver. and i've been placed permanently in the truck that was supposed to be temporary.

    haven't heard a word from the company. they have not asked my status to see if i was loaded yesterday or unloaded today.
