Good night from...

Oak Grove, MO Petro. I think that my laptop is dying. I can connect to their broadband, but not internet access. Same problem this morning at Peelot. Was sent a pplan. Critical on time del. Been sitting on the yard since Saturday morning. Del drop at 1000 on Tuesday, Coors/Miller in Milwaukee, 44k. Declined. Will not deal with Miller/Coors anymore. To much hassle, and if critical, then why still sitting on the yard. Still sitting on me, and it has been over 2 hours since declined, so MAC 30, Zero. Swift is not the only one in the game. If all goes well, 22 more days. Tired of fighting for miles and with a DM that I think does not care. Tried to give me a pplan on Friday, Groveport, to Manteno, Sears. What kinda loads out of there on a Saturday for the weekend.

Ohh, as far as Internet, was working fine at home. already did a system restore.

 

Sitting at the Loves in Santa Nella, CA. I'm not a happy camper at all this week after having been thoroughly shafted by both shippers and planners. I'd like to have a talk with someone back at the terminal about these issues, but I don't feel like anyone there will really much care, unfortunately. Gonna see how the next few weeks of this trip turn out, and I'll probably talk to some local companies back home when I take my home time.

 

At the Pilot in Laramie. Headed to Ashton, IL. Delivers Wednesday morning. Will end up being a 3000+ mile week.

Been having a hard time getting my truck serviced. After waiting over 4 hours at the TA in Boise yesterday I gave up and went to bed. Was going to try the Boss Shop here at the Pilot but they wouldn't do it without fuel fiters I do not need and wanted nearly $400 on top of that! So I tried the Petro across the freeway and didn't like the 2+ hour wait (@ 6 PM). So my next option is the Petro in York, NE, 1/2 from Laramie to my final.

 

I turned down a load Friday night and they left it on me til they sent me another load OVER 12 HOURS LATER! And of course Mac 30 ALWAYS shows no loads available under those circumstances. Only one time have I had a load offering after declining a load.

 

Went to pick up my next load and they didn't have any record of it. Sitting down the road sending in those detention replies every hour. They told me to send in mac 22 if I'm going to be late which is funny because there is no delivery time set yet. Think I will send it in anyway with a delivery about 4 days from now.

 

ooopssss!....nevermind got planned after a couple hours....on my way to pick up and drop in Washington state...more swiftys waiting as we speak....

 

spent my ten hr break at the petro off i10 ex 582 in san antonio tx. guy next to me pulled forward into spot instead of backing in. not sure if he"ll be able to back out being so tight. i"ll be leaving in about an half hour, so hopefully he waits lol. wasn't much parking spots left when i got here, even though it was early afternoon

 

yeah that whole part of texas fills up fast,especially on the I 10 ts.....

 

got here at labatts food service and whole street was full of trucks. drove up to guardshack and said i need to park on street and walk up to check in. so i found a spot on the next street and checked in. they give you a pager to let you know when to drive in and when they done unloading. took about 45 minutes to get a dock. unhooked and park in bobtail section. walked in and hired a lumper. hopefully they dont take tooo long lol

 

Little Rock for the night then off to Kansas
