Good Night From II

aurora co. load going to ontario ca. was suppose to p/u at 1600 but they couldnt find load in the system. laid blame on us and csr blamed them. anyways after dicking around for 2.5 hrs, they finally found it. but its at another of their warehouse and i ran out of hours. so doing my ten on the street. other place opens at 0800. see how long this takes.

 

Sounds like my current load with Nestle Waters, also picking up in the Denver area.
They could not find my load either, until I had them check it with the PO number instead of the UC number they had asked for.
Several other Swift drivers had the same problem, at the same time.
Once that was sorted out we all got loaded very quickly.

Someone is mixing up the numbers it seems.

 

that always bugs me when i see drivers do that, either they are scared to back in or just plain lazy


took a load to Clovis and then was called right before hitting Bakersfield asking if I would pick up a roadway load so i said sure, it splits the dispatch for the clovis load which gives me more money plus stop pay so of course. I get back to the dc and take a 30min break and then head out the gate with my 2nd load heading to Fresno, was stopped at the security shack telling me I had to drop the trailer that it was just cancelled, im thinking talk about timing. If I wouldnt of picked up that roadway I would of already been over half way if not completely in Fresno by then.

Planner called me and gave me my loads for tomorrow heading to Grenada hills and then to East Palmdale, he also said both are already cut at 100% so I can start as early as I want, I will probably start around 8am or so, normally I dont begin until late afternoon so I guess I can get home early tomorrow evening for my days off.

 

Springfield, MO just picked up at the Kraft cave. Down for 10 before heading back to the Walmart DC in Harrisonville.

 

moose....wonder if its same place i was at. but it wasnt called nestle waters on my end. other driver in front of me was dealing with his load for the 2nd day.

 

Sitting at a receiver in upstate watching an independent get on a door ... nobody two doors either side ... took him 23 minutes

 

Home Sweet Home. Getting ready to have a long talk with a friend of mine, Mr. Walker. What a day of weather. I-65 was a mess, especially the NB side. There was a FedWrecks with truck and one trailer in the median, the 2nd one flipped blocking 2 lanes and not to far behind, a flatbedder decided to get up close and personal with a tin can. Mostly the SB side was dry but the NB side was slick. Then ran into blinding snow north of Cinci after dropping the load. then some more blowing snow with 25mph winds.

Gave up a load to Tracy because it delivered on Thursday and Costco would not change the appointment, so now going to Nogales instead for Monday. Finally down south.

 

taking my 30 min break at conoco here in grand junction co. got the load loadesd pretty quick, tho had to wait abit for the other office to email the paperwork over. got about 4 hrs left on clock. not sure where i'll end up yet since havent looked but would like to get over 550 miles in today and have 264 in the books so far. abit slow going thru the big grades. said i be in ontario ca by 1800 tomorrow.

 

We are now rolling west... Will be on the 70 crossing MO & KS tonight... Denver tomorrow for a D&H.
