Well this is kind of nice. In Ponca City, OK. The whole town has FREE wifi. It's gonna be a Netflix night.

 

Anybody in the philly area wainting on a load assignment? Needed to head to gary but they sent me a load to fort mills, sc. I'm apparently the only driver in the area.

 

maybe I am the driver that just parked in front of you!!

 

Oh... It just went from bad to worse.

I'm going to be waking drivers up to get out in the morning. They're triple parked on the end, directly in front of me. No way I can get out until they move.

Maybe the drivers beside me will have it cleaned up for me. They'll be able to leave out before me.

 

that is why I always try to park where i can't get blocked in.

Parked in the back corner once, and some dummy parked along the curb in the fire lane, 20 feet in front of me.

I went and knocked on his door at 4am so I could leave and he wouldn't wake up, I tried for 10 mins to wake him up, and he wouldn't, so I went to the fuel desk, and they called a tow truck, he sure as heck felt it hooking up!!!

 

Wasn't much option for me here. Last spot in truck stop.

Only reason, it was a blind side. I'm glad some folks have no backing skills.

I am a bit confused to see the restaurant and Arby's closing at 10 though. Especially in a major city.

 

I felt the same about my truck. I inherented it from its first driver with 33000 miles on it. While with the first driver, it got the nick name "the lemon". It had problems ranging from the steering gear box to the pass side fuel tank needing to be turned. The cab wasn't air tight, it had a leak on the pass side windshield, and the doors had to be slammed shut. Its also branded with a decal for the DD15 not 13. Friday truck for sure.

 

Quick update you can see load times and hours of operation in workflow prior to accepting and making a load active.

Can't see cons info. But can live with that.

Sending "request trailing unit" does populate the p/u empty trailer drop down list. If sent upon arrival. Just check to make sure there isn't already one assigned to you. Doesn't really matter, it'll retain that one, either way.

 

Well my good week turned to ####. Had my Nat set to 0800 this morning. Got up and had no preassignment so I went to bed. Got up at 0830 to check, had a new notification that turned out to just be for the empty I picked up at 0530 this morning, no preassignment notification but I decided to check the tab any way and sure enough I had one. ETA was set to 0800 so I changed all that before accepting it and got on my way. Pickup was 40 miles away and had a window from 0700-1400. Got there at 1015 (set eta to 10 before accepting it). Turned out it hadn't updated in the system yet and said I was late. Delivery was 70 miles away at our drop yard in sumner wa. 30 minutes after I arrived for pickup I get a preassignment for a pier 1 load with 3 drops and a pickup appointment that is before I can even drop the load I have. Set eta on that showing I wasn't gonna make. Finished loading and went and dropped the load at our yard. Eta still hadn't updated in wf for the pier 1 load. Reset it at a later time because loading took longer then expected on previous ld. While driving to pickup the pier 1 ld my dbl calls to see if I can make the first del appointment at 0600 tomorrow. I call back after I book up to the loaded trailer but get a different dbl, tell her I won't make the first stop. She says to head on down there and she will figure out what to do (I assume relay it) but I never hear back from her....

Now I'm sitting and taking a 10 30 miles from my first delivery which is scheduled for 0600, but my 10 won't be done until 0630. I had to call the pier 1 district manager since I'm going to be late he said he will let the store know in the morning but they might not take the load outside of the appointment due to parking issues. I tried calling support shift to see if there is a driver in the area who needs a load and can get there on time but decided #### it after being on hold for 30 minutes

 

Not to mention the load that I relayed to the drop yard in Washington goes to Wisconsin. I would have loved that load
