    yeah routing sometimes is a joke, the last I remember was before coming to Target I picked up a load at Frito Lay in Modesto and it wanted to route me from the 99 through some farmland on a small 2 lane hwy with a lot of slow turns to get to the 5, I took the route the very first time I did it, the 2nd time I stuck to the 99 to the 5. That swift route only saved like 2 miles but added tons of time.

    Well, my 34 didn't work out as planned because I was more concerned with getting 2 1-5 AM periods than actually calculating the 34 hours.
    I ended up a couple hours short.

    Not that bad though, as I got a plan at around 0900 this morning that was a very easy and quick live load headed for MS. I was in and out in 1 hour.
    I just got my next pplan a few minutes ago that picks up just after I unload tomorrow, headed for TX the next day.
    So that's 2 ~600 mile loads covering 2.5 days, and I have plenty of hours coming in to cover them.

    still sitting at jurupa valley terminal. got a preplan that was suppose to p/u at costco down the street half hour before i got it. plan said i had to drive 200 miles, so couldnt do that one. then got 2 local preplans that i accepted and got dispatched on the first one when dispatch called and said they were removing them. they needed me to go get a load that was already late for pick up and too tcall it here. ran over to johnson & johnson in fontana for them to say it wasn't scheduled for p/u till tomorrow.reset my pta for tomorrow morning, too tired to deal with their bs

    Coming off hometime and I'm on my way to Oklahoma via deadhead.
    Once there, I'll get started on this Dollar Tree dedicated account. Anyone
    knows what the stop and unload pay is?

    Here in Mesquite. Went to where I was supposed to, Sunnyvale, and after 1 hour, was told that I needed to come here instead. After my 10, have to go to Lancaster and get rid of this trailer. It is a 57'. No wonder it rode hard. Then play the game and get another mt to take to coppel and pu going to Laredo, I hope. I was told that my pplan is on hold right now. It better not cancel and if it does, they better find something real quick since I topped off today because of the pplan. Found out this morning that it was the planner in El Paso that removed that pplan for 1800 miles and did not tell me, after I was committed
