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

Yes, the directions and gps SUCK balls! I got lost not once, but 3 times yesterday. Was shaking my head and getting really pissy with it all! Then get a call after shutting down for the night that my team partner, who was supposed to bus into Shippensburg, doesn't want to take the bus, so she's passing on it and will wait til I get her in Markham. Dude, really? I wish I had that opportunity! Anyhow, busting butt to get into Shippensburg before running out of my 70, I realize they routed me to my fuel stop 45 miles north first. Didn't know which exit I could take to legally get to the yard from I76, so took the exit they had me taking and doubled back. Turned that dang gps off cause she kept trying to get me to turn around! As I'm doing all this, hubby calls freaking out because his mom has to have emergency surgery and he needs me home NOW! My inlaws were in a bad wreck a few months ago and we've been dealing with all this for a while, but him freaking really got me, so I get on the phone and happen upon someone who actually helped me! Got me the money for a bus ticket cause I don't know how long I'm goingto have to be at home dealing with all this. Nowjust packing up my stuff so I can leave the keys for the truck I was gong to turn in anyway to get a team truck - which I'm actually sitting next to and I see BIG gouges down the front driver side - yeah, not wanting that one. So, guys, if you don't hear from me for a while, you know what's going on. I'll be back, I just don't know if it's gonnabe a week or a day or longer. Be safe out there.

 

RebelChick -- I hope everything works out for you with the family issues.

 

Happy fathers day to all the fathers out there. My dad is in his eighties and I am blessed he is still healthy. One reason I am going trucking is to travel and be able to see him more often. Can't wait to get started soon...

 

Good luck to ya, RebelChick...

I'm sitting here in the Carlisle Petro about 30 min from my p/u. I could pick up early but it's going to a Walmart DC and can't deliver early.

 

I would get under that load before somebody else steals it. It happens
you will be sitting there, or more likely have started your 14, be halfway there and........"LOAD NOT AVAILABLE"

 

Hey! It's hot down here in Laredo! Dang! I wonder if I can get a load to Calgary ... oops, my keyboard just mellllttteddddddd

 

Luckily that's never happened to me. I had to wait anyway so I could work out my hours just right. I probably should have waited a little longer though.

 

your right it is, right now my truck temp shows 106.....! good thing it's time to go back up north to MI

 

Whats the deal with the usx terminal in Lincoln Ne?
