    Here in Baytown, TX. Guess the wires I fixed fixed the trl. But it has a dog leg to the right. Got the last parking spot here at the J. Drivers on the radio said I wouldn't get in the hole. Another driver tried before I got their and gave up. After I got it in they said good job you didn't have any problems.....lol. Well shower, dinner then bed. Danco is closed for the night.

    Not bad then. Really figured the Coronados were heavier.
    And I was off just a bit, I'm prob closer to 19600 with Half Tanks.

    I ususally figure 20k when Calculating Load/Trailer and Truck.

    Ok got a question about pay. Instead of the guarantee pay. Would you go for a .01 pay increase on every load delivered on time. Being you get paid .38 per mile but for every load you are on time with you get paid .39 on that load. If late you only get .38.

    I'm just asking a question platinum. Nothing was said about not following thru. Thought I would just throw that question out there. Any input on it would be nice. I can understand not wanting to because of not getting the miles to begin with.

    I made my load into Ottawa, Il yesterday with 20 minutes until 1400. Not bad, considering I didn't leave Tyson in Amarillo until 1130 Friday. 1008 miles in 26 hours. It was a favor for Greg since the original driver couldn't make the load due to truck issues. I swapped my empty in Champaign, IL today to take a load down to New Caney, TX and Katy, TX. Has to be in New Caney at 1515.

    I was doing my preteip on the trailer and noticed one tire was at 40 psi and another was off of the bead. So two bad tires and a loaded trailer. After the preteip, I was looking at the weight of the load. I couldnt find a total weight so I took it over the scale. 2k lbs over on the tandems. The guy didn't even scale before he swapped with me. So after adjusting and re-weighing, I made it down to Effingham, IL to get the tires looked at. I know I should of not gone so far, but I did.

    Now, I am supposed to swap with another driver in Arkansas. It's the only way to get the load on time. Looks like I might be deadheaded back to New Albany hopefully. Time will tell.

    Pick up trl 216. Major air leak. Can't hold air pressure and it isn't airing up the air bags. Sitting at the T/A waiting to get in the shop. One bad trl after another. What a deal as frogman would put it.
