TransAm Trucking, Inc. - Olathe, Ks.?

Good evening everyone! How are you? Joey, are you feeling better? Honeybadger, how are you ....did you get rid of the cough? Oliver2, you finally got to go for the boat ride! Hope you had a great time while George was home! The King just left this morning for Texas, had a nice weekend home. Has anyone heard from any of our new drivers? Jaso36, have you talked to EMCHIEF?

Ok, I have nothing useful to contribute to the conversation this evening so I have been searching the internet for a joke for you all. Geez .....most of them would get me put on probation or banned from the forum! I did find some really cool Dumb Blonde Men jokes ....but I will subject you all to those later. So here's what I came up with for today .....If you are from any of these states, don't get mad at me please!

One hand on wheel, one finger out window: Chicago

One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator: Boston

One hand on wheel, cradling cell phone,brick on accelerator:
California

With gun in lap:

Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror: Ohio, but driving in California.

Both hands in air, gesturing, both feet on accelerator, head turned to talk to someone in back seat:
Italy

One hand on latte, one knee on wheel, cradling cell phone, foot on brake, mind on game:
Seattle

One hand on wheel, one hand on hunting rifle, alternating between both feet being on the accelerator and both on the brake, throwing a McDonalds bag out the window:
Texas city male

One hand on wheel, one hand hanging out the window, keeping speed steadily at 70mph, driving down the center of the road unless coming around a blind curve, in which case they are on the left side of the road:
Texas country male

One hand constantly refocusing the rear-view mirror to show different angles of the BIG hair, one hand going between mousse, brush, and rat-tail to keep the helmet hair going, both feet on the accelerator, poodle steering the car, chrome .38 revolver with mother of pearl inlaid handle in the glove compartment:
Texas female

Both hands on steering wheel in a relaxed posture, eyes constantly checking the rear-view mirror to watch for visible emissions from their own or another's car:
Colorado

One hand on steering wheel, yelling obscenities, the other hand waving gun out the window and firing repeatedly, keeping a careful eye out for landmarks along the way so as to be able to come back and pick up any bullets that didn't hit other motorists so as not to litter:

That's too bad, hubby and I went through orientation a year ago and the Holiday Inn was super nice.

 

I really liked thoes florida to Denver runs.

 

Oh, the bronx again. Good miles, but no preplan, that part sux. I do see that company drivers end up with a lot of multi stop loads with a final in nyc. I can't really complain though, they have kept me moving pretty good.

Oh yeah, if you load at jbs in Grand Island Nebraska, never put yourself on duty until you have hit the scale. They love to have the trailer weight too high and will make you take it somewhere to get a certified weight. You can limp to Grand Island express to keep from going on duty but be careful with their scale because it will print 4 axle weights if you hesitate in the slightest when you move.

 

How are you, llsnemesis?
Husband had the same problem at Grand Island the last time he was there, a lot of wasted time because of it. If I remember correctly they were also not driver friendly and pretty rude.

 

I am finally on the mend. Still coughing some, but im alive. Delivering in Hutchinson, Ks today then pickup in Dodge tomorrow. Can honestly say Dodge City is the last place i want to spend my birthday. But that load delivers in Montgomery Friday morning then I go home for the weekend.

 

the La Quinta is an upgrade from the Holiday Inn

 

never had a problem getting out of the northeast so preplan isn't a big concern on Mondays and tuesdays

 

Glad that you are feeling some what better. Even though you will be in Dodge City I hope you have a very Happy Birthday ....and will soon be on your way home to celebrate properly with your family!

 

Well they changed my load to pick-up in Auburndale going to Texas, so no pillows this time. 195 mt miles. That's not to bad.
