Stevens Transport aviary

Sitting at the kw here in Oregon, ended up beeing nothing just updates. Now they are replacing recalled parts should still be able to pickup my load in the am and off to Illinois. Have 7 days to run 2200 miles so hoping to get a repower after I burn the miles, we shall see. Be well, Shifty.

 

The rest of the story. The beef trimmings did not pass the e ccoli test. So tyson had to ubload, resanitize and then come up with more product. The bills were printed at 16:21. This still does not excuse stevens dispatch

Asked for a repower this morning even though I was being told the drops will be rescheduled. DM sets one up for morris IL. Repower was quickly cancelled. Appointments willbe reset. Okay so at 1pm I get a call asking me my eta to first drop? Original appt is 0300 friday. The best I can do is 1600 friday. And the bronx will need moved to sunday which I know is not happening. About an hour later, repower peru IL.

Trainer and student have until 9am to make the first drop in ashville NY. About 650 miles out. Then sat morning for nebraskaland.

Me I got a 2 dropper sunday 0300 elkton MD and monday nebraskaland.

 

Well at least you're moving again!

 

Dropping 10:00 @ Hunts Point Friday a.m. Not at Nebraskaland though. Oh how I love Da-Bronx's

 

Well lets see.If Ive sat for 14 hrs,low and behold I have a 10 hr break in and a fresh 14.Demonslayer,relax,worry about learning how to drive the truck first.You cant make any money until you get through the training.You cant do a reset in the berth and have to be away from the truck,where are you getting your onfo.I suggest wait until your on a trainers truck to get the correct information instead of wherever your getting it.

 

I'll say this it's not that it's hard but it's long verry long some trainers just suck some dont. a good 5 week trainer that you can get along with doe's make the time go bye and makes it more enjoyable.my first trainer was a complete ### bipolar and needed some anger management always punching the dash throwing the qualcom around the truck yelling at people takeing to long at the fuel isle and makeing a complete ### of himself in public.i lasted three long weeks with this guy and finely got off his truck.that slowed down things a bit it took 4 or 5 days to get another trainer i call him joe dirt because he was a nasty s.o.b truck stunk,he stunk faught with his blood sucking wife constantly yes blood sucking she took everry penny he had he couldent even buy him self a pair of badly needed shoes when he spent money on his credit card for any thing like food she would call and eat his ### out. all he would say is o.k cup cake butter cup honey babey made me sick i was stuck with him for 3 and a half weeks. also drove verry dangerusly.cell phone radio alwasys swerving all over the place i had him by tyhe throte one day because he wouldnt let me roll down the window to get the stinch out.got in my face about it lets just say it dident go well for him and from then onn the windows wer rolled down when ever i needed to. OR2 is long and boreing long days and nites .but my finish trainer was exelant great guy thoes 3 weeks whent fast and here i am 4 months later on my own and loven it headen to denver with a load of legos. if you wer to ask me was it worth it? i don't know yet i do love what im doeng.would i do it all over again?hmm i dont think so but im glad to be where im at.

 

I see a few of you mentioning Hunts Point. I deliver there Monday at I think 1300 at Fancy Foods. Anyone gonna be there?

 

Sitting at the T/A in Morris tonight waiting for an a/m delivery across the street at Costco.Love this restaurant here.Supposed to have a softplan out of Joliet to the yard for some time off.Ive been out way to long for my liking.But out of necessity.My wife is spending it faster than I can make it,lol.Two of my worst months in years didnt help matters either.A little a--chewing to the alliance powers that be seemed to help matters this month.Or maybe it was just chance.I did get a call from John in Alliance today asking me how its been going.Told him all is well this month.Have been getting the miles I expect.And I will also say I feel I deserve as a senior driver with an impeccable service and training record.(insert big head here)lol.Its what I expect.And Ive earned it.As Im sure you other drivers have to.Keep my truck moving,or Houston we have a problem.Be safe everyone.

 

Terry told us. He said if there are loading or unloading or doing ANYTHING involved with your truck, its considered as your on duty. He also said those 34 hour reset can NOT be ANYWHERE near your truck. So I asked if I could get a hotel and he said ya, you can get a hotel. But if you even LOOK at your truck to make sure its still there, thats working and negates the 34 consecutive hour reset thing.

 

Houston?!? I thought it was Dallas. I have so much to learn....
