My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

Im EXHAUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!! (thats a good thing)

Ok so Friday morning i head over to the shipper, and after watching them drag there butts for ever, they finally took 4 minutes of out there texting time, to put 4 peices on my trailer. sry no pics they took long and it was going to be TIGHT getting here in time to do a reset before i deliver so i didnt wanna waste any time. BUT i did take a picture after i tarped it...i know i know not very exciteing. Anyhoo there are Four 8ft x 8ft raidators under there, only 10,400lbs!

Oh and notice i loaded at a door





anyway, then i fueled and headed out.


I knew where i can always get a parking spot on I-40 in TN so i went there about 9 hours 15 min away. (sry but im not giving out that little secret)

Got there TRIED to fuel, but could only get 76gal because of that stupid fuel card stuff I'll be talking to someone about that on monday.

then i did my 10

Saturday:

Woke up left asap at 615am, drove all the way to caddo mills, TX. I WANTED to go to the TA/Loves 15 min or so from the receiver but, the TA doesnt have a resteraunt and I HATE Berger King, and the Loves has a Hardies which i dislike even more and both are small truck stops...sooo i stopped 19 miles early here. So im only 40 min from the receiver still not bad.


I also already have a Pre-plan, i am doing a drop and hook at my receiver here, leaveing them this trailer/load and picking up a pre loaded trailer and takeing it "all the way" to Houston


Anyhoo remember i told y'all this would be a good week for miles? well Monday 0700 to Saturday 1530 (330PM Today) 3,554 Miles for the week! (note i also stopped 36 miles short of the receiver so had i been able to deliver today I would have had 36 more miles this week)

3,554 miles x .40cpm = $1,421.60 + $30 (Tarp Pay) = $1,451.60 Gross for the week!

I also learned something today too. I took MY HDTV Antenna off the Amplifyer and hooked up the Peterbilt HDTV antenna to the amp and i got 20 MORE channels then i had before so i've got about 60ish channels here INCLUDEING FOX! so i'll get to watch the race again this week! Also the Peterbilt Antenna IS NOT affected by trucks driving by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That pissed me off more then anything.....the thrilling conclusion is.....SWIFT drives by NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
