    I got to Lakeland yesterday. They let me drop on the yard and gave me a new load. Picking up at Aurbundale again, going to Casa Grande, AZ. I have to say that my company is very good with letting you drop in the Lakeland yard if you want to keep running. Another good, long run!

    Unloading and enjoying the beautiful southern Arizona weather. Preplanned to pick up 5 miles from my delivery in Casa Grande, going to McDonough, GA.

    Delivered this morning in McDonough this morning. Picking up 2 miles from delivery. Heading down to Palmetto Florida.

    Hit my first bump in the road with the company. Not a fan of how we turn our paperwork in. We still use the trippak envelopes. No big deal, but they are not over night. They are two day service. Which means they have to be in the box by pick up time Friday. With these long tips, which I'm a big fan of, it's hard to get them in by that time.

    We can use their UPS account, but it costs $18.00 to use. I believe it is time to update and use the scanning. I did not get paid this week since I had that flordia to arizona run that delivered Sunday, I used the UPS service. It didn't make it to Sikeston in time due to the bad roads outside Memphis this past week.

    I delivered my Florida load last week. Took the week off to visit friends in Nashville, TN. Got dispatched this morning. Picked up a loaded trailer off our yard, going to Riverside, CA. Good run coming off home time.

    I delivered my Riverside yesterday and was given two Pre plans. First one picks up Sunday going to Texas. Second one picks up at the same place going to Florida. Keeping me busy.

    thanks for the updates, I am looking to get back in to driving. I've been off for over a year and I was going to go back to JCT but john christner turned me down. so I'm looking and I remember seeing pullen bros many times, refrigerated is in my range of experience so maybe....

    they don't sound like they are too hard to please, and neither am I.

    hmm, I did a search for Pullen Bros and found not a single thread in "report a bad company" heading.

    I'm going to hit them up when I get home!

    It's pretty laid back. The only beef I've had is how you get paid. The TripPack envelopes are two day. So, you have to have them in Friday to make the cut off. You can use UPS and use their account, but you have to pay for it.

    Pay is alittle low, but they run you and leave you alone .PPaper logs are nice too.

    Stopping at the Petro in Grants, NM. Doesn't seem to be a very popular place. Almost empty. Kind of rare for a Petro.
