    Stuck out in French camp for the night. 3 drops in the am and hopefully a reload towards Spokane. Nothing like having 4 5k genies and only enough binders for 3... :biggrin_2556:

    Playing in the snow in Montana tonight. I deliver in billings in the morning. Shut down early tonight because of the snow. Roads were just wet but it's snowing hard enough I could only see about 20 ft

    You just gotta find that rumble strip man :D lol. Glad you made it to a safe spot. it's clear skys and 70* back at home. Home till Monday. Well technically they want me to come back Sunday, but i forecast a 0% chance of that happening.

    Enjoying hanging out with my new nephew :p.

    We'll now your just rubbing it in lol! I sent an e-mail to the boss of my FM with all the #'s i've accumulated through data logging and processing every trip since i started working here which shows my current FM's underwhelming performance.

    I figure things will get better or i'll get fired from here LOL! I guess i can't lose either way.

    Good luck, only advice I can give you is just hold tight for awhile. Everyone I know is slow right now whether it be vans flats or tanks. It's almost construction season, freight will pick up
     
    SmokeytheBerge and ramblingman Thank this.

    Definitely slow time of the ysar. I managed to haul a whole 4 loads of freight this pay period. I'm scared of what my check is going to look like.

    At least I had an 11-drop, tarped load of moulding to Calgary to help cover the downtime.

    Guess I'm lucky staying on the dedicated run. Been staying busy but did empty out in Portland last Monday by noon and had to sit the rest of that day then the next day had to deadhead up to northbend to load so definitely noticing the slowdown that way
     
    Milktanker and ramblingman Thank this.

    The rest of the pole guys seem to be busy. I've been requesting to stay west so I'm a bit slower because Brett is looking for freight that stays west of Colorado for me. But it works for me. Get to see the gf and the kiddo a lot more this way. I was debating going elsewhere but Brett has really bent over backwards to keep me on his fleet. Ill be heading out at 5 am for surrey bc
