You'll do good here BlackLions,glad you're on board"with a positive attitude".

 

Delivered in Villa Rica GA today and had already gotten a good preplan Fri going from Greenville,SC to KC.I haven't been there before and Qualcom say's it's a new customer.Michelin tire load and 1066 miles including deadhead, delivers Tues am but will take it early.Will end up over 3k in miles this week.Man if I would have been driving 70 or 75 I could have gotten 4 or maybe even 5k miles this week,Dang it.If I would just listen to a guy that takes home 600/week,(which I refused to do 5 years ago,after I had 1yr exp.)I might have made 3 or 4,000 take home.Should I take this advice from a guy with so much knowledge about the trucking industry,afterall he has 8yrs exp. and is dragging down 600/week?........Ummmmmmmmm........NO!

 

Wanted to deliver this load in KC mon by 1430 when CEVA closes for deliveries,but had trouble last night.About 20 miles north of Oak Grove KY,I blew out 2 tires at the same time on the trailer.I guess one of them blew and took the one next to it out.After all said and done I was there for 4 hrs and ran out of hours.So I didn't make it to KC until 1600 today.Dropped trailer and hooked up to empty,but have to wait till 0530 to get paperwork signed,then I'll run down to the j and scan my paperwork.

 

That's what I thought,when it first happened and all I saw was rubber flying everywhere,I thought crap I've blown one of these nice recaps and will have odd tires on my truck.Was pretty relieved when I saw that it was the trailer and no expense to me.I'm wanting to get a good set of Michelins for the tractor,but I don't have enough in my maint. acct. yet and don't need tires for maybe another 4 or 5 months.
