Good night from...

Here in Carlisle, IN. Got a pplan already, bt to Mopar in Milwaukee, but not ready until 1700. So have to refigure hours since it is JIT that delivers to Mopar in Streetsboro by noon on Thursday. I guess that instead of starting my day at 6, start at 11. So much for my DM saying get me loaded out of WI heading back south. Going East, and I did tell him after I questioned this pplan, that is as far East as I am going. Not going to play the games with the Memphis Planners on Thursday, since it is close to the weekend and the games will begin.

 

got here at cleveland tn at 1815. about 1.5 late. but they started unloading me pretty quick. i have about 1.5 left on 14 and nearest truckstop is loves, 10 miles away. got preplan that p/u in the morning in chattenooga tn and going somewhere in beaumont tx for no appt yet

 

yeah inkeeper I was a little frustrated, I had to do a mac 22 since the shipper took over 2.5 hours to load screwing around, was hell docking at the final too, they gave me the dock with the least amount of space with some poles in the ground cutting out over 10 feet of room for me to move around with, after struggling for several minutes a box truck in the next dock took off so I just pulled out and re positioned myself to get in there being close to the dock starting out. Was told a lot of the drivers struggle with that one dock, here is an idea let the 53 footers use the other dock the box truck uses which has 25% more room.

When down the street from the shipper I was sent a preplan wanting me to pick up a tcall beer load at the sparks terminal and delivering in Vegas, I ignored it so I could concentrate on getting my final docked, they removed it in like 10min and then sent me another plan picking up a very light load here in Sparks at noon, only 2400 lbs and delivering on the 19th at a home depot in Salem, OR which is a drop. I will reach my 2k miles for the week but not what I hoped for....hopefully next week will be better.

 

I got preplan last week for49000 lbs of water...I told em to get a day cab lol

 

49? #### havent seen one that high

 

A couple of years ago they had me do a test load at one of the local Nestle Waters plants.They put me in a day cab with super singles and a single 75 gallon fuel tank. The trailer was one of the new(at the time) ultra lites. The bills said I had over 51,000 on board. When I scaled it, there was room for another 2000 pounds.

 

dang.. my phones been on central time and its eastern. 30 minutes late to shipper. guy didn't say anything when i said my appt was 0700. would"ve been late anyways due to my ten hour break not ended. only way i could"ve been on time is if i did my ten at my last drop. but lot was pretty small and don't think they would let me

 

if they didnt say anything you might slide without a service failure for that one

 

guard had everyone wait till 0800 before they started assigning docks. said it was shift change. they did load me within 40 minutes though. bunch of minute made and powerade.

 

gonna take my ten here at the pilot in jackson ms. fueled up and have 360 miles to go. half way there.sent appt time and its for 09/20 0800.
