Good night from...

got woken up to a preplan at 0600. be at shipper in southgate at 0700. yeah rite. they said i needed an mt so i walked the mira loma yard to no avail. they sent me down to otay mesa yard to get an mt. asked them isn't there one closer and they said to go to otsay mesa lol. also said that i have all day to pick the load up. i been doing walmart dc all week and been working 14 hr days. only had worked 4 hrs yesterday and took rest of day off due to low hrs. get 9.5 tomorrow and zero for monday. wished i could've gotten a 34 in yesterday. oh well.

 

was able to pick up and deliver one load and go back to pick another one. southgate ca to apple valley ca. sitting at fontana terminal again lol

 

moos it might not be "live" but you can probably download the races from a torrent site to watch, I dont bother using a tv in my truck so I just download movies and tv shows.
Got a list of shows I download weekly including revolution, sleepy hollow, game of thrones and walking dead begins tomorrow again I believe. Also just got into the vikings series which im enjoying so far. Just glad I have unlimited data since I have used 17gb so far for the month and my plan is billed the 23rd of each month so I will probably hit 25-30 for this month.

 

You're going to need that money to live off of, come January/February ... freight will get real lean, particularly in the west and especially in California.

 

delivered the load in apple valley ca. had to wait for a bit to get a drop number. then went to long beach ca and picked a load to tcall in mira loma terminal.when i pretripped the trailer, one tire was flat and another looked like the tread was coming loose. took along time to air up the tire with my hose. but went to mira loma and got both tires fixed before i tcalled it. flat tire had a good leak, so it would've been flat pretty soon. have only 3 hrs for tomorrow, so going to do a 34 to start fresh. would've been nice if i could've done it friday. oh well

 

At the J in Beaver Dam, OH., deliver tomorrow morning. 1 preplan which I turned down(stacked loads, 2nd load a live load 14 hours AFTER I deliver tomorrow), nothing worth doing on Mac 30.
Did see a Canadian load on Mac 30, problem is until I get my one-on-one Canada briefing I AIN'T GOING TO CANADA!

 

Steve you're on the broker program now? ... call them tomorrow early and often, they usually have some good stuff that pays well coming out of Ohio.

 

its that bad huh? Will see how things go, I know one idea I had was to save some money and add it to my tax refund then buy a cheap manufactured home that will be lower payments than my rent, its sad I lost my nice home when my ex stopped making payments, wish I could of took it back but was during the time I was unemployed.

 

Somewhere in NE at a Pilot.

I cut short my miles today because of the rain storms. Too many crazy drivers out here, mostly truckers. Blasting past me at 70-75 in rain that limited visibility to a few hundred feet, while the rest of traffic is going 50-55 - or lower.
I decided it was best to quit for the day before I found myself in accident traffic, or in one.
I have plenty of time on this load, so no worries in either direction.

Now I'm just hoping to put off my home time until the 20th-21st. I need a paycheck when I get home, and if I get there too early I won't have the money I need to get the new computer and transfer my CDL to MN.
I deliver near Chicago the late morning of the 16th. So I'll see what my next plan looks like.
