Wow, enjoy ya time off husker.. out in sumner then tacoma wa myself... we passed out on 212 in montana few days ago.... what you usually get comin back east and do you p/u close or they have u deadhead out to get a load?

 

Actually cutty that was probably me you seen on 212.....about 99% of the time you will reload at seafreeze warehouse in seattle it isnt far from tacoma....they are some nice people there...its my favorite reload....you will take that to lemars.......its easy...and most of the time under 40k...but every now and then you might get a 42 or 44....I just scale at the ta near northbend if I think I need to......

Quick way to seafreeze is to take i5 north to exit 156...and follow the road til you get to marginal way...then a right and another quick right on front....
The fast way out is take marginal north and follow it and watch for signs saying to i5 north... ..the climb by the firestation sucks...but as you get closer to the 5 you want to stay in the left lane...then 90 is the first exit off the 5....

That construction zone out by lame deer sucks ###...it keeps getting longer rougher and narrower...I had to bump a couple barrels to avoid an oversize that was being impatient...

In other news im on part time now...getting ready for school...and got moved to ames today...all I have to say is moving sucks..

 

I did that Seattle run back & those people are great! Sure beats doing the 4-5 pick produce loads. You may also run down to Oregon if there's something down there too.

 

Thx mic ill keep that info in mind... good luck on school!

I got to do what husker said actually, a 4 p/u produce ld goin to omaha! All stops went good till I got to this last one.... sitting n waiting smh.. only getting 6 pallets but all product isn't here n have to wait on a truck to make it back. Said it could be 4-5hrs!!!! Been here 3 hrs so far... what ya gonna do!? Ugghhh

 

Uggg I hated those produce pickups.....such time wasters...especially when you have to go to the orchards.....blech....plus they load you to your teeth....you almost cant get a feather on without being overweight...... the place in omaha off of I street? Yeah its not bad but you need to back in off the street cause you cant turn around in there..... and they can be kinda picky so be careful with your load....otherwise its free apples for everyone...lol

 

Dropped in Hagerstown, grabbed a back haul to arcade, spend the weekend at the house, after being told I would go back to arcade this morning to pick up another Hagerstown run, then they decided to put me on a friendship ny to Jessup md (always a fun trip lol)and of course leave it to josh to not realize I dropped my trailer at arcade and there weren't any empties, and I just about blew a gasket at him trying to get him to see that I would have to go back there and see if my weekend drop was unloaded yet. Got there, and they didn't even touch it yet! Basically been trying to get through a terminal during business hours so I can put in for vacation but got turned around at the last minute each time because I got "volunteered" to rescue a delivery. I swear these people in waynesboro could make mr. Rogers blow a gasket.

 

#### spyder... well after my west coast run I think ill stick to midwest to east runs.... from looks of it doesn't pay me enough to stay working 2+weeks straight... make the same or more and at least be home more.. I stay out to try n make some good money but seems not to happen... I might have to make a call to ops cuz I'm only gettting veggies, I need meat n potatoes! Cuz somebody is getting them and its not me! What I gotta do my fellow VW's... am I missing something or I'm to low on the ladder? Hmmmm?

 

Midwest to east I don't mind... I usually prefer to go to Midwest or places like Texas or Minnesota and back...I used to get into great bend's territory and get good loads from there to upstate ny and then to the house up there... Since Angie (& I suspect others in that office has left too)was replaced it seems like they don't remember where that area is, and I haven't turned down hardly any loads since I started here unless I knew I couldn't legally do them, or need to be home for something important like a doctor appointment ( which that still got messed up), mostly because there really isn't any proof of whether this is really a non- forced or 1st in 1st out dispatch. Basically I've asked about htis and pretty much gotten no real straight answer or people are too afraid of revealing classified secrets lol. Hopefully I'll get through an office so I can get my vacation set up, then take a week or so off to spend time with my Asian angel and her family, and get my mind clear and then make some hard decisions once I get back into the grind. ( I ain't gonna tip my hand about that yet).

Currently sitting in jessup waiting for these idiots to get done unloading this crap, already told the powers that be no more of these stupid friendship to jessup runs, this one was the last straw.

 

Yea not bad and it pays.. texas, I wish! Not since I've been here... same here I don't turn losds down or complain and I've done 1 or 2 favors. Which they rarely ask which is good.. I've asked ?'s too just like you, but real solid answers ???? I like it here but money needs to start adding up or ill be in same boat as you! I've been doin this to long, all about the $

I was in salem ohio yesterday over 6hrs being unloaded!!! Can u say detention pay! And I had to wait till this am to pick up ld I just got, uuggggggg. But I was in and out less than an hr!
