    So I deliver friday at 10am in montgomery and will start my clock at 4am to get there from New Albany, next load picks up in albertville, al at 1900. I will be out of hours before pick up, the load is going to wisconsin for 719 miles for mon delivery. Anyone else poorly planned and wasting time and resources (Projected Revenue, Fuel, Time).

    Yup already happened twice this week. Hauled a bud load from ft. Collins co to Sioux city ia they asked me when I can del it I told them Wednesday get the updated it says del on Thursday wtf? But then I get a call to go ahead and del on wed anyways. Now i am hauling a con Agra load from council bluffs to auburn in again they asked me when I can del it. Told them I can del it tomorrow (Friday) now they have set the appt for Saturday afternoon. And I am only 400 miles from the del right now as I type this. Guess we're back to the short miles with too much time again deal.

    Yeah JSW gets the best runs, I got alot of maintenance things going on, plus my dog is not doing good in extreme cold. I may have to get him back to South, GA then I go on vacation on the 26th.

    ive been running around Chicago in the hood now for 3 days trying to get rid of a load after I delivered my load at KOCH.i recovered a Tyson load that was rejected by nealey's and been hear all day today in the hood on 43rd st and have 2 more pallets to get rid of tomorrow.750 miles for the week so far.i hate doing favors because the driver always gets shafted.its cold and a lot of snow.now I have to re evaluate my position to see if it is realy worth being here.i had a load going to ft.collins out of Houston.1200 miles in 3 days.they took that away with no explanation and gave it to someone else and gave me a load going 800 miles in 4 days.its gone down hill every sense.i am going to investigate that switch and they better have some good answers or I am going back to Ozark where I never had to deal with this stuff and be paid 42 cents a mile...fair is fair
