Good night from...

When you do your MT call don't put the actual fuel level in the call. If you actually have 4/8, tell them you have 3/8. If you have 6/8 tell them you only have 5/8. Also when you do your mac 11 when it asks you if you topped off the tanks, never tell them you did, always put an N in the reply.

When you get that close on the drive line, stop the truck and go to on duty while you look for a place to park... you won't go far enough or fast enough to put you back on the drive line.

 

On duty???? ... Hell, go off duty ... off duty aps soon as you stop at the end of the ramp

 

Trying to remember what all I did this week. Picked up a tcall in Laredo and delivered to a chicken ranch way south of Houston. Set as Live unload but the guy said drop it and leave. Big mistake I made was processing Empty call, then the CSR said I had to get that trailer back. Waited over 20 hours for that trailer. Asked about Detention, No Response.

Got another load in Baytown TX and tcalled in Lancaster TX, wake up to messages, "Why did you tcall that load?" I went off duty at 0110 AM just to deny the planners trying to give me a 34 lol.

Accept next load but no trailer solution for hours and hours. In fact no response to queries as to the load status or anything. Finally they tell me to go to this place and get the trailer. Show up and it is still being unloaded. Waited for them to finish, got over to the shipper for drop/hook, they announce they are closing the gates in 25 minutes. Tcalled that load in OKC terminal Sunday midnight, was to be delivered to final in North Dakota for Monday.

Go to bed wake up about 7:35 hours later, preplan, pick up tcall and deliver to North Dakota for Tuesday. WOW.

Got that done moved 1.4 miles to next shipper get loaded and next stop to Utah and points west for hometime.

 

finally got a load. p/ up in los alamitos ca tomorrow at 1000 delivering 08/01 0500 in pheonix az then 08/01 0800 in sedona az. had a preplan earlier this morning that was taken off efore i could accept it. was going to lewiston id. oh well. tired of sitting here. at least i can now do laundry and take a shower when it cools down a bit more. hasn't been hot here. been pretty nice for a change

 

On top of mountain, somewhere in MD ...

 

I like Walmart grocery well enough, hard work never killed anyone......maybe.

I need to be in Sweet Grass, MT 08/01 to get my FAST card. Can't do that if I'm running Walmart loads in WA.

Currently waiting for my next load to show up in Salt Lake.

 

#### Babe your still waiting? Sorry... I am at home watching John Stewart.... Do the Anthony Weiner jokes ever get not funny?

 

Dupe post.......

 

Omaha ???!!! NE, at the J.

Delivering 08/01 in Colorado Springs.
Home time was set to 07/31 in the Sacramento, CA area to get my daughter back in time for school registration.
I have until the 4th at the latest, or she will have to accept the leftovers.

I have turned down load after load this past week, trying to get something to where we need to be.
A load going back east, another one going down to Houston, and another to Mira Loma.
Hopefully they won't try to send me to SoCal from the Springs.

I really hate it when the planners wait until the last minute to get me to my destination.
And then they still try to play games.
It can't really be that hard to get me to the Lathrop/Sacramento area from points east - could it?

 

could of went to Mira Loma and then got something up to Tracy or something to tcall in lathrop
I know I went north a couple times from Mira Loma

Anyway made it to the target dc in pueblo, co
I went into violation by 17 minutes but the load got delivered, now sitting in the lot next to the place. The 70 wasnt too bad I was flying up past all the trucks, however when I got to that 50 and going through those canyons and stuff that really slowed me down a lot, plus add in 1 lane construction going on. They sent a load offering half way for me to pick up tomorrow night at 20:00 at the same target, guess they expected me to sit here for 24 hours for the load. I declined it since im going to bobtail into Denver and take a class I have to get done by friday or get put on safety hold and the class is once a week tomorrow at 1pm. Not going to do a 10 then try to get that load and drive in the middle of the night on that 50, was nerve wracking enough in the day lol.

Will probably end up with a beer load out of Denver, I do normally.
