Leaving for Orientation 10-13-12 in Tulsa,Ok

I got my load delivered, then spent the night at uhaul locked behind the gates( can't really complain as close to oakland as I was ) ! They let me out at 6 am and I was deadheaded to ontario , I was on my way to Ta West when they sent me a preplan in long beach pickup at 4 pm , My DM was pretty nice about it I let him know I had 10 hours when I started the day and none the next and there was no way I could pick it up and take it anywhere or even get through rush hour and get parked in a truck stop . I called him a few times and after about 2 hours they took the load off me , I have 4 hours left now and am Parked at the bottom of the grapevine. One thing is for sure 4 hours on your 70 and Los Angelas never work out so I guess I will be doing a 34 here and heading out Thusday , I am supposed to be home Sunday so I am kinda interested to see how this all works out . Since its Christmas I expect to be home no later than monday so I am not worried. Great last Week and I dont care about this week since its a go home week and I never get miles on the week I go home , Hope you get home ok Mrh

 

My son can't wait to go back out with me , I however am fine with that being next summer after this last one - kid wore me out way worse than flatbedding

 

You don't need a passport hazmat or Twic to work here , of all 3 the passport will get you the most miles, I have the twic and hazmat and am getting a passport as soon as I can get off my butt at home to get it.I have 1 melton driver friend who got a 5000 mile load to New Brunswick and even deadheaded out of new brunswick like a 1000 miles , its not a bad thing to have however its up to you.

 

got a good spot at TA west yay

 

no, why ask just swipe and fuel .I always spend 20 bucks though . As many nights as I spend in rest areas and shipper/cons I always like to eat out when I can. I don't usually stop during the day for more than a few minutes except the 30 and thats just anywhere I happen to be
