    Empty in Reading, it feels good to be empty at 8:30 in the morning. Just waiting on my next load.

    Had that a few years ago.

    Was a new customer for deliver to 1 place pickup from another of their plants 2 miles away and someone messed up the load info on their end

    Got to where the delivery was to be made place and the buldozer operator clearing the propertie was nice to inform me I was 18 MONTHS too early to make the delivery :) and that he had not even started on cutting the trees off the land that was listed as the reload plant address.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Being and handling things in a professional manner has always been the best route for me. Not all drivers would have taken the steps you took on your own to locate the delivery location. That just works in your favor.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    I'm not sure. The way I'm going I think it would come out to be about 54k. I think 60k would be a stretch. But then again I enjoy my wife, home, bike, dogs and cruises too much to be gone months on end, which I think you would need to do in order to make 60k.

    68 on cruise control. 71 otherwise. Although if too many more drivers get speeding tickets, they have said they would cut them back.

    I have no problem with that as long as they just cut back the guys getting the tickets.

    71 on the pedal, 68 on the cruise. But if some of these cowboys keep getting speeding tickets they just might turn them down a little, just sayin.
