USX drivers...how's your day??

Well they tried to give us a load to San Antonio so I called the FM. He asked me to do a little run for him while he figured things out. I picked up a trl in a vacant lot somewhere in AL and delivered it in Jacksonville AL. In the meantime he said go ahead and pick up that TX run and we would swap loads with another truck headed to Florida.

So I make it to a truck stop and my 14 is about out. I tell my co-driver the plan. I tell him to wait for the load info then go pick up that load in Georgia and start heading to Texas, then stop in the morning and ask the FM about the relay. I sleep about an hour, wake up and ask if the load came in yet. It hadn't so I suggested he send a msg. Then I went back to sleep.

Woke up at 5:45 and we are at the same truck stop. I look and he had sent an incomprehensible msg about a relay. He got a response of "what relay?", which he ignored. I wish I could throw this guy off the truck right now.

 

What a loser.

 

lol, #### thats messed up mate

 

Sorry to hear that people are just that way. Hopefully you get a new team driver.

 

Finally made it home! Had a late night therapy session with my wife...LOL. She wonders why I am not that patient with her...LOL.

I've already told my FM I am not teaming with him after I get back. I don't think the FM truly understands the level of incompetence I am dealing with. I would rather deal with training a newbie.

 

burning a cpl hours in Laredo, TX taking a load up to Trenton,MO, wow another d.o.t inspection yesterday, no probs, im a d.o.t magnet this month lol

 

glad you made it home. As for FM's they never will understand what goes on out there. I am not sure USX really care either, all they care about is that the truck keeps moving with two people in it.

 

Looking forward to coming back to US Xpress, I left in 2007. I'll be starting orientation on the 23rd of this month. Looking to goes lease, but just gonna start out as company for now. Maybe i will meet up with some of you at what point in time.
