Other then that i would greatly appreciate any info that yall could offer me..I am only 1 1/2 from Columbus so i am close and they said i get a take home truck and home weekends ...any other info please?

 

You might want to start a topic with that question. I know that there used to be a couple of drivers here that did work that account or still there.

 

kinda new at this not sure how to start new thread or whatever...not great with computers..lol

 

At the Gearjammer TS in Union Gap (east Yakima) WA.

Came off of hometime on Friday with a Costco load to Henderson, NV, followed by a paper load from Clearwater in N Las Vegas to Clarkston, WA, then another paper load from Clearwater in Lewiston to the Walmart DC in Grandview. My next load is something HEAVY from Del Monte in Toppenish, WA to El Paso. I passed up 2 "mom-n-pop" truck stops in order to stay here even though I drove about 30 miles out of my way to do so. Dinner at the Outback and a decent shower tomorrow morning are worth it (to me).

 

The funny thing about that is we picked up our load in Decatur, GA and our fuel plan had us going west on the I-40. I looked at the forecast and saw that freezing rain was predicted as far south as the KS/OK border and contacted our DM to get permission to run west on the I-20 to the I-10 instead (only 100 miles farther to LA). The DM was originally from Birmingham and thought it was insane to run the I-40 instead of the I-20. Any time you have a problem with your fuel route just call your DM to get permission to change the route, usually in my experience they are cool with that.

I saw that from Amarillo to OKC they got hit hard with that storm. While the Abilene to Pecos run on I-20 was an attention getter I'm glad I wasn't up north in that mess.

 

Who did you tick off to get to stay up in the NW for a little while.

 

I second that.

The only times I have not been allowed to reroute was from night or weekend 'help'.

 

Except for the load to El Paso it's been all my doing (Mac30).

 

In the new house, the dishwasher is louder then the F16's they fly out of the AFB.... If I wasn't aiming for another trip to Disneyland I'd be buying a new dishwasher, or um he would. I am getting unpacked, hate driving back and forth from the new to old house, I must get it cleaned out and the kids in the new school. Steve's dinner at Outback sounds better then the left over pizza and Ben and Jerry's I had.
