My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

Happy Thanksgiving to all be safe everyone

 

And for those of us who (GASP!) have chosen to join GTI after the merger, it remains a valuable source of relevant information.

 

Same to you all.....going to be here in Indy for the rest of the day....headed to Costco in Oak Brook,IL then stacked to p/u@Sam's University Park,IL to Waukesha,WI then mt to Green Bay P&G and out to Bear River City UT...

 

Been a little of the shorties this past couple of weeks out of the house....Last week 1,700 and this going to be 2,300 with some peewee loads but going to break out of the midwest on Saturday out of P&G Green Bay to P&G Bear River.

Came out of the house 11/19 - 676,270,306,481,605,672,550,240,195 (+$50 load bonus),188 and then 1,653 stacked!

 

Ended up there over 7 - count em 7 - hours yesterday!!! Got relieved of the Lockbourne Whirlpool load and put on a load out of Ralston in Lancaster (such a lovely lovely lady security guard......) and took over an hour to pick up from there and ran out of my 14 after driving a mere 250 yesterday!!! So luckily didn't get stuck.....

 

Tow,finally get to break out of the Midwest on Saturday Dan the Man got me stacked on a load out of P&G Green Bay to Bear River City,UT. Finally took over 7 hours to get unloaded there which almost led to everything falling down like a house of cards there!!

 

Yuck...

Oh well... once you get out here there seems to be plenty of freight...

On my way back to denver from shasta lake, ca.. running on recap from here on out.. got it set up just the way I like it with 8 1/2 to 9 hrs dropping off each day. I can run 500 miles a day without a reset this way and not work hard...lol

 

Well the idea of the reset did not work out like I thought it would. They wanted me to attempt to deliver this load to longmont co today. Guess customer wanted turkey also , So drop this at the denver yard and waiting on my relay. Might just as well leave out in the AM. I only got 4 hours left for today and start getting back good hours the rest of the week.

 

I have noticed you have not mentioned any home time , why is that? You posted "3460 for the week" in a governed truck missing in PA where you sure don't average 63 mph . Anyone else question this?
