I have to say most of my driving is during the day. Sometimes I start out early oike 5 or 6 am but not to often. most of the time its between 7 and 9 am. Anyways i did 590 miles today and stopped early to get a shower at the Flying J by Omaha Neb. Will drop this load in north paltte ne tomorrow. Hope to get a PP heading west.

I broke down in New Mexico. Trailer brakes just locked up. Yay! I'm fixed and now I'm going to bed. I'm in Gallup if anybody wants to cuddle.
Thats a joke. I don't want to cuddle. -
For information, I've started my own thread to provide another look at GTI from the new-hire perspective. I will continue to contribute here, too, because I LIKE IT!

WOOHOO finally broken out the midwest deadlock!!! A thoroughly crappy start to the day yesterday....load in Robinson wasn't ready and then got deleted...after much wailing and gnashing of teeth got a load that a team dropped in Pontoon and headed to Ogden then quick turnaround to Chehalis,WA.....from f-all miles to 2,000 in 3 1/2 days!!!

Well..I am about to go home and take a couple days vacation... nothing has gone right since I came out on the 30th.
less than 4k miles for 2.weeks.and nothing over 700..the load I got yesterday was a 4 stop staples almost 700 but the final.stop closed before I could get there. Turns out this run was supposed to run on saturday but was delayed do to weather and there was no way I could get here any quicker. Only stopped once to go to restroom. Store closes at 6 on sundays and I got there at 1809...
will deliver in the morning.... was.told customer service would call and let them know I was coming but never happened...
Unless I get something west of the rockies tomorrow I am going home. Maybe we can do better with a fresh start after I come back out.DenaliDad Thanks this. -
That sucks Tow. After I finished in north platte Ne I told them nothing going east in my eta and on a free-form msg. Even called them and told them the same thing by phone. Got a load of dog food in denver. Now Im in snowville UT going to albany or for tuesday After that no idea. I have 22 hours left until Wednesday. Might have 5 left after this is done.
Even with the weather out here I would still rather be west than midwestchowick1966 and tow614 Thank this. -

What an extremely horrible day. Where should I start. Oh, so got a great load from Texas to Cali. Get a message to drop it in Lathrop and grab one for San Leandro. I get there 15 minutes late because people in California suck at driving. Leave 2.5 hours before my appt time and arrive 15 minutes late got a 56 mile trip. Can't back the truck in because the power steering feels like it's going. Whatever. Then get one load then another one but then back to this one, going to Riverside. I get there, they completely load the trailer and the sob starts throwing codes and shutting down. Instead of loading and running to Lathrop for a quick fix, I have to take it to Thermo King. Then run back to Lathrop to get an even older pos trailer and reload my load that I already loaded before. Now I'm stuck here cause I'm out of hours. Yay! So much for laundry. This is the kind of stuff that makes you want to throw something. I could have just taken my original load that I brought from Texas, delivered it and grabbed this one and ran with it. Nope. Everything has to be complicated. By the way, my load was still sitting in Lathrop when I came back for this one. Unreal. Whatever.
