Conway Truckload Drivers what is your 20?

Laredo, got in at noon, it is now almost 1700 and can't sleep. Got a preplan before I even arrived. Never happened in Laredo before! Figured if I read a few threads I will get sleepy. OUt of here around 2200 so, hopefully a few hours of shut eye would be nice...be safe you all.

 

here in Corinth MS deling at cat at 10am then off to IN for friday.. Bad news Broke my phone screen today... got to try and get it fixed now

 

Sittin in Florence, KY. Had to swap loads. On my way to Charlotte then Gaffney. After that got a preplan to pick up going to Nogales, AZ.

 

if ur going 74 east at mm 103 In its shut down for a wreck clean up. in Huntington In del in am. yall have a safe and fun nite

 

Sitting in eastern PA, del at 10:45 AM so day #4 wasted by Joplin this week. Been MT/on board by 0700 each day w/ 4+ hrs of drive time (full break done by 0900 most days, d/h's around 2300) and have averaged 289 mi per day. Super thrilled. So this week I will get a min. of 650 less miles for all week vs last week when I was home till Tuesday, doesn't make much sense to me since I only worked 4.5 days last week compared to 7 this week. As always I'm sure no one in Joplin will be reprimanded/talked to about it even after inquiring about miles 2 times this week.

So remember, drivers DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES or you'll get written up; office staff.. Screw it half ### your job because there are no consequences and you'll still get the same check.

 

Not to get off topic and it isn't completely but due to a conversation I had with family earlier and dieing need to focus on random stuff right now I've got a ?Question?
b
Is Cabot brand cheese not well known/loved outside of New England?

I always thought it was pretty well known/saught after but got to thinking that it might just be a regional thing.

 

2 for me last week and a 32 hr near reset at the end of the previous week. Had it not been for a jit oad and a driver falling ill I would have sat for 48ish hrs.

Then after 9 weeks out I can't even take a few days off because I rolled in at 2300 on Tuesday with less than 800 miles. That equals having to roll back out today in hopes of salvaging the week.

Top 3 in my fleet last month to the food stamp office this week. Part time sucks.

 

I hear ya get.. I'm hope we get a pick up very soon.. If I wanna sit they could just send me home. Or jop to get repairs done. Really thinking about Tyson more and more..

 

My problem is that if I wanted to average 2000-2500 miles I would have went to Maverick. The pay starts 8 cents higher. Even with the raise it will take 2 years get to their starting pay.I was fine with that because if I'm going to be on the road I just want to work. I didn't want to sit a lot and these miles mean a lot of sitting. If I wanted to sit I would have taken more per mile to do it.......do u know what I mean? I can honestly say that I don't want to leave.....I love it here. I just want the miles that I was told I would run if I stayed out and hustled.

 

My weekend run 360 mi between now and Monday
