    Delivered in Orlando, FL. early this morning only to get a load picking up at Yuengling Brewery in Tampa, FL. That delivers tomorrow (Tuesday) in Valdosta, GA...recalculated my miles for last week and it totalled up to 2,462 for the week...not bad but feel like I did nothing but sat around all week...got use to running them 3400-3700 weeks this summer so now I feel like a slacker!!! Hopefully freight turns around soon and gives us the miles were lookin for!! Be safe out there!!!

    Delivered to Green Bay, WI and then deadheaded over to SCA Tissue in Menasha, WI. to pickup a load of paper for Cherokee, AL. Picked up my load yesterday morning alittle after 0700 CDT and the delivery appt in Cherokee, AL was set for 0500 CDT...my dispatcher already knew I wouldn't make the appt time so he asked me to send him an ETA once loaded..sent him a msg for ETA 0900-1000....later received msg saying customer service had appt time changed to 1300 but I could deliver earlier if I could make it...I arrived at 0945 and now customer says that my appt time is 1300 so that's when they will unload me!!! On a positive note I managed to swing by the Richfield Terminal and get my (Required) yearly safety meeting out of the way...as of right now I am sitting with 2,305 miles for the week and I still have all weekend to run so hopefully dispatch and CS can get me some good runs to keep me rolling all weekend!! Keeping my fingers crossed!!
