Con-Way Truckload Drivers: What's Your 20? (2014 edition)

Come on .... We're waiting lol ...

leaving Elkton MD .... Bloated up at the Golden Corral!!
getting ready to "ROLL" down 95

 

I've been to Baltimore and Rock Tenn.
But never to Rick Tenn in Baltimore.

 

Taylor Michigan. Sunshine blue skies. And a 50 mph breeze out of the west.
Glad I'm not sitting up on that swinging ambassador bridge.
That thing surely is going to fall in the Detroit river, sooner than later.
I'd take the truck barge. Or the tunnel. Guess we won't fit through the tunnel.
Take the barge.

Delivered my load in Hamtramick this am.
On way back there were at least 10 cars and a semi on shoulder all with flat tires.
Thought to myself, self that's odd.
Apparently a monster size chuck hole was jacking tires and rims up according to the news.

 

Take 14 days off.
Call your FM to get with truck assignments.
Its policy you turn it in... call their boss if they are lazy.

(Though I take 10+ days off when I go back usually)

If that doesn't work threaten to quit to the shop managers manager mangers manager and hell send you back to the first guy.

 

I got 21 days to take off lol. 14 days would hurt tho lol. The exhaust is getting so hot it melting the wiring on frame.

 

Well I guess it going around because come Monday our truck is going back into the shop, air leak somewhere, picked it up from International in Decatur and it wasn't building air pressure like it should so told them about it and the mechanic goes and looks at it and tells us it building just going alil slow checked it out everything is fine, so we call RS because driving it 5 miles up to Pilot and it loosing air and you have to ramp it up to get it build, so they tell us just to drive to our next delivery in East Peoria and see what it does, so as we're sitting at CAT we're losing, building,losing building, taking about 1 hr to in between, so RS says take it to International and see what they say, shop doesn't open back up till Monday. Spoke to them and they tell us right off the bat they are backed up and mechanic is still working on things from Jan. So now we wait

 

Kenworth closed on me last night. Got keys and gonna drive to Jop again. See if they can't fix this problem with truck. I've been down over a week with shop time with this truck. Maybe I should just drive it till Conway has to bring a hook out to me. Then maybe they will see it ain't getting fixed properly.

 

I'd gladly take 21 days off! Headed to Baltimore for Monday. I hate when they don't have any directions and the view on the map for the address looks like it isn't a place for trucks. I guess I'll get there at 4 am and scope it out.

 

What's the name of the place in Baltimore? I think may been there before they got 2 docks I believe.

 

It says goodwill. 3431A Benson Ave
