Lonestar Transportation drivers.. Check in!

I don''t even remember where I left off last. I think I mentioned after delivering dock plates to Elizabeth, NJ on a wednesday morning I DH to Export, PA, outside of Pittsburg, to pick up a 33k lb motor, huge air compressor, and some parts headed to Globe, AZ. I'll sum this entire load up as a cluster. I wasn't supposed to pick up until that Friday but called as directed and they told me to come Thursday instead. I did. Loaded, then took my time getting to Globe, resetting on a Sunday-Tues in Albuquerque. Get into Globe Tuesday night and am slated to deliver Wednesday morning at 0700. That time comes and goes, and so does all day Thursday and most of Friday. Sometime in there I lost my preplan of Copper from Marana AZ to Denton because of the lack of communication on the receivers part... but I was preplanned on a pipe load coming out of Rialto, CA headed to Laredo. Anyways, I finally got unloaded on Friday at 1645... 28 hours of detention coming my way according to my DM. Not too bad of pay for sitting around getting a tan and doing homework for school.. lol.

I ended up only rolling down to Phoenix for the night, staying with a friend, then rolled out to Ontario, CA on Saturday where I parked for my 34. My girlfriend was in the area due to elder family health issues... so I got to stay with her and meet the other side of her family. We all ended up going out to Newport Beach, just south of Longbeach, for the day Sunday, then I headed out Monday to pick up 38"x40' steel pipe.

Delivered that this morning after moving a few dryvans around so I could park my step, then wrangled some dump buckets for backhoe's going to Hope Spring, NC. But, given i'm due hometime on Wednesday I didn't want to get stuck and not be home when scheduled, so my DM had me TCall it in Houston with a guy going to Florida for hometime... then said something about Rotan. Wonderful... just what I want to do. lol. But, I might actually make it home early this round.

 

Yeah. I got a load of steel headed to Andrews TX from Houston this morning.. routed 100 miles out of route for home instead of sitting in an oil patch for a 34 in west texas idling and wasting more fuel than the OOR.. headed out Sunday to sit in their driveway for a monday morning delivery.. then I head to Rotan to get a load headed to Waco. Then I suspect they'll be sending me home after, a day or 2 early.. but i'll take it.
