    900 diff are only done at gp and usually in a 60 mile radius. But I have had them deliver one to waco. If they needed help with a pol tex load? Dropping in gp. How does that help?

    Also, the correct way to do a third or more trailer on your logs is on the bottom with the trip number write, trl #2666.

    I was assuming he wanted to do the 900 diff in Houston. I've done it once.

    A 900 diff for a Houston load in GP is a possibility if outbound needs loads covered. Done that before too.

    Outbound called me earlier today in desperation to cover a four stop load going to Pharr,TX. The first stop in Austin must deliver tomorrow.

    In order for me to take the load OB had to call the shop to get PM on truck pushed out & get a 900 diff approved for my current BH that delivers at 0800 in Cleburne in the morning with a final stop inTemple at 1400 tomorrow afternoon.

    The point, a 900 diff can be done regardless the policy if dispatch needs it to be so.

    In this case it's extremely helpful to me. I was going to return to GP after Temple delivery and drive my personal vehicle home for the weekend. But since stops 2 & 3 are in San Antonio I get to go home under a load. I'm happy.

    I was told in orientation to write extra (more than two) trailer numbers in the blue area below the other trailer numbers.

    Is that what you mean by "on the bottom"?

    How often do you get multiple stop backhauls? Ive never had one and dont want one. This week is the only multiple stop outbound load ive ever picked and it only has two. Best I could get out of up north.

    No, on the white part with the trip number. Jerry does the orientation and that's what he told me. And Tony.

    Multiple stop BHs are rare, but not unheard of.

    Jerry does all orientations. He told us what I wrote. Guess eitherway is ok.

    I have had a couple multistop backhauls (pickups and delivery) one was a 'Tuesday Morning' load (2 pickup, 1 drop/hook del) and another was Roadrunner terminals.(1 pickup, several deliveries)

    Even though this load will carry over, it is going to be one of the biggest stop count paychecks I have had. 6 delivery stops, a Riceboro to Laredo...then whatever they put me on out of Laredo (tile or what ever). That'll be an extra $320 plus 3600+ miles. I'll take multistop loads all day...they just need to be scheduled better than this one.

    I tallied my 1st quarter numbers and they aren't much better (mile wise) than last years miles at Happy Valley....however (he said with a smile) I did that amount of miles and managed to do it taking 21 days off. So I am averaging 9000+ miles/month only working 3 weeks out of the month...not too shabby, Gabby
