Good night from...

sitting in states logistics here in az, been here 3hrs to get a live load. they havent even put the gate down on my door.
heading to the wally world dc in apple valley, ca by midnight tonight. should be fun finding parking tonight up on the I-15 around 1am. then its off to los angeles to snag a load going up to lewiston, id. never been and hear the 95 is restricted and swift isnt allowed on the 12.. hmmm, how in the hell do i get there.. lol
after that run its off to dallas, tx. will be a decent week if i get get rolling here.

 

Don't need a Mac 22 when I KNOW that the delivery window is 0001-2359. I did send a Mac 34 to change my ETA/PTA from 1200/1230 to 0930/1000.

A while back I remember getting a message on the Qualcom which basically stated that before you send a Mac 22 find out what the actual delivery window is because chances are you do not need to send the Mac 22 at all. That's what I've done on nearly every load with a Plus 1 window I accept. Less stress.

 

Scotty,

You REALLY need to get away from your DM. I NEVER have to put up with the crap (from my DM) that you mention here. Last time I dropped a live load I of course got the message saying I couldn't do that. I simply sent a message stating that I was doing what the customer wanted and left.

As for the drug test, did they send you a message over the Quacom?

 

At the J in Limon, CO.

Got to spent 1:15 hrs sitting on 287 north of Amarillo because of a head-on accident. Seems someone went southbound on the northbound lanes, killed all involved. Interesting thing is how close I came to being involved. Had I not taken a 30 minute break at the J in Amarillo I would have been at the accident scene at the time of the accident. Somebody is looking out for me!

 

They usually don't, in my experience.
It is a phone call only.

However, giving 60 minutes to drive nearly 60 miles is clearly unreasonable.

 

p/u in riverside in the morning and have to be in st cloud, mn on the 21st at 8 am. this will be my first solo run since coming back. still having issues getting chains. was hoping thewy route me thru pheonix terminal cause fleet here at mira loma said they have some. my truck has super singles. but they are routing me t hru utah and wyoming to get there

 

Scottie, agree with Steve on the one issue, if the customer says drop then you drop. This has happened to me many time in the two years here, and when I was attached to PHX, it was always a problem, and now where I am at, never a problem. Just a quick message to my DM, and the problem is taken care of. As far as a random while on the road, there is no time limit to get where you have to go. Many times there is not even a place to take a truck and trailer so need time to drop trailer and still get to the testing center. Ans yes, a random on the road, it is a phone call and not on the QC, but your DM was a arse.

Still at home. KW called me this afternoon, best case scenario, Friday afternoon, worst case, Monday afternoon since they are closed on Sunday and all depends on when the drive line shows up. Taking out a loan to pay the balance. As far as mentor class, looks like end of FEB now. DM agrees that need to get some miles before taking time off for class.

 

Correct, if open window, then all that you really have to do is when send in ldd call, say eta and pta. Really do not need MAC 34

 

how is swift not allowed on 12? how else do they get to lewiston lol

 

That's funny. I'm sitting at the same place
