Feb 2012

Last month was not as bad as thought, I did get paid after I spoke with my terminal reguarding the local run. (Fixed it after) I had 2500 miles last week. I should have 3k this week after pushing my DM due to slow start after the superbowl. I am going to look into the May lease op also and use it as a guide to see if its worth it. I feel my experience and timing skills are greatly improved. I have never been late due to my work planning. Knock on wood. Now I am watching my pressure guage and scaling legal and scale cat to ensure I was accurate watching my weights, pressure and where my tandems are. I am getting to know everything I can about leases, and talking with owners/ops in Aug I am going to make a decision what's next.

 

3100 this week and picking up Denver tomorrow for a Portland delivery on Monday in Marine.

 

Got a load out of Brooks going to Iowa but need some body work repair due to a bad driveway at shaw industries in Ga, truck bottomed out on hole and caused fender to push over another and remove cabinete so I can manage space better.

 

2100 last week and if they don't get this next load on this pay check it will be another 2k mile week right.before hometime. I brought this to the terminal managers attention because every single time since I have been here before home time I get screwed with low miles.causing me to not afford hometime. I have not had hometime since Christmas. I had got home during superbowl weekend but under dispatch and not able to do anything because of a shutty week prior. This next load is from cedar rapids to fogelsville. I have been sitting in Iowa since unloaded sat morning. I did not need a reset. I was asked about my eta and I told them.Friday afternoon but the planning dept scheduled it for Monday. I took it anyway and got unloaded sat instead. So I sit 2 days no miles, and cost.money to sit and go on planned time off 8 days, I got a lot to do.
