Where are you

Just got to the house, another Flori-duh turn has been completed..

 

No tree, but a basically abandoned Trailer (Van) that shades in the morning hours.

Home as of 19:45. Roll out 06:30 to have a fighting chance at being at a pick up by 08:30. With Houston traffic it will probably just be spitting into the wind....

 

Fort Wayne, IN coming off a 34 tomorrow.

 

Done that "pop-up" fleet stuff. At least WM treats you like a human being. Also, had a part-time gig before becoming a Driver, where I unloaded WM trailers at the store. That is work. 10% pallets and the rest is thrown in with a snow blower. One person "throws" the truck sending items down a roller belt. We grab and stack according to department. When pallet is full, shrink wrap with plastic and stage for later. Night stockers arrive and we delivered the pallets to the appropriate location in the store. Not a job for the 50+, but good exercise.

 

I bathed outside the truck, next to rear of trailer and the bushes. Not inside the trailer... There was nobody around... Had my bikini on, soap, towel and 2 gallons of water.

 

Drop&hook this morning near Chicago, rushed to Ohio, got a preloaded trailer at shipper and now at a small BP station in WV.... Pilot was totally, completely full. Not one mpt spot. Will start running at 5 am, going to drop&hook in DE and then go to Norfolk, VA for another p/up and then going to near Columbus, OH to drop&hook. My dispatcher wants us to use every available hr we have to run. So, if my company doesn't have load for a day or 2, we are supposed to check in at WM dispatch office. As WM dedicated drivers, we gotta make ourselves available for store loads whenever we can. Gotta go... to bed... it's past midnight here....

 

I am at a c&s in Maryland, appointment at 6pm, get here at 5pm, it is midnight and I have been backed into a door for about 4 hours they have yet to unload a single pallet. I almost never live unload, but this cannot be right. And the office people act like I am crazy for bugging them every 2 hours.

 

just get in your sleeper just a typical nitemare
we have all been there
astronomy class shows us the world doesn't revolve around us dang nab it

 

welcome to the wonderfull world of trucking, hurry up and wait..

 

and dont keep going in the office or you will wait longer
