Good night from...

Stupid crack smoking CSR

CSR a problem ? ? ?
Say it ain't so !

 

Update on the accident stuff. Got my truck to Greer. The body shop said they would get me done in 1 day (nice). Its while on my hometime to, so lets tally up the score. Total days of downtime 0. Total days thinking about how to avoid downtime 7.

 

TA West in Ontario, CA.

Way too tight on this load.

Got off home time today, and had a wonderfull time.

Got a pplan that had a window to pick up until 1600 today, but it delivered at 2100 tonight (well, yesterday now) so I started my clock at 1030 this morning.
Preloaded with a live unload.
I get sent to Lathrop for an mt, but didn't see much in the empty trailer row. I found one way in the back, but when I tried to get assigned to it I was told it was in shop status. The window people told me that the mt's were along the back fence.
I had overlooked them because they were parked end to end, and they looked like they were not available.
I didn't want a 14 footer so I had to shuffle them around to get one.
Once I got to the shipper I had to park on the street for nearly an hour before getting waved in.
Hooked up to my load (a 14 footer, sigh) and headed out.
I ended up being 1.25 hours late for delivery, which turned out to be a drop. I was happy about that because I only had an hour left on my 14.
I headed for a Walmart that was listed in my RM as overnight parking OK. Turned out it wasn't.
So I ended up going 35 miles to the TA, and my 14 ran out 1 mile before my exit.
The QC went crazy with the log violation, of course.
I shut it up by editing out 10 minutes of my pre-trip time.

 

Blommington, IL. What a hassle getting a load out of Memphis yesterday. Every pplan that they sent me, 90 mt to take ldd 180 for Sat morning del. Then sent another one, same load, with a back up, pu in KY and take to MD for Sunday morning.. DM told me, do not touch them whatsoever. Finally his boss got into the planning board, cut me a load that was sitting on the yard all day, take to IA, Family Dollar in IA, then drop down to stinky dog food and pu a load that will drop tomorrow 40 miles from the house, and then, well, you can guess.

 

Got a message yesterday asking us to log less time on line 4 lol. Sounds like somebody at Swift Trucking Company figured out more revenue is produced when truck drivers are on line 3 not on line 4.

Tcalled in Gary then did the greater Chicago mt trailer search for my next load. Arrived at shipper for live load with 3 hours left. May have to sneak over to a warehouse down the road that is up for lease ie, nobody home, nobody to kick me out of there.

Abby got a nice soapy bath at Iowa 80 puppy wash next to the truck wash.

 

Only Abby got a bath. Something wrong with this picture

 

Are you at the Pilot over there? I stopped there for a minute to get a Big N Greasy from Wendys but I went back to the TA, need an oil change after my 10 and it's time for my bi weekly bath.

 

Yep, front row, out of the fuel islands you would pass me.

 

Pilot, Marianna, FL ... headin' back up to Memphis for a Monday AM unload.
