JJ's Place

In Va. on I81 yesterday I saw 2 wrecks on the way back to the plant. When I got in they had a load for me to leave out with and when I headed back North on I81 there was another wreck in the same place as one of the other wrecks. It was construction and I guess no one was paying attention. An escort car for a wide load rear ended some one then when I came back thru a tractor trailer had rear ended another tractor trailer. It did not look good.

 

waiting, and waiting and waiting to unload. HURRY UP. your messing with my home time.

for the next 3 weeks i'm going part time.

 

Hey Jess... We don't have access to a load board yet... Just for my curiosity, how do loads look out of the SLC/Ogden area to northern CA tomorrow?? DM is saying we are on a 'list' and nothing is moving west out of there... Not quite sure if I believe it :/

 

Had a quick look and your DM was right its looking pretty dead that way!

I remember when I was a company driver and they'd have us sit all day somewhere, usa telling us drivers there was nothing. And we would grumble about it. Really does open a person's eyes to what they're up against at times when you self dispatch as an o/o. Really sucks being in a deadzone and there's a bunch of them. It makes you realize pretty quickly, or you will go out of biz, you better get a rate to justify going to that deadzone. Otherwise you will sit and none of them feels sorry for you that's for sure.

 

For a newbie... Besides Denver, where are some of those dead zones?

 

Lol most of the West Coast for us

 

Lady K did you get your own truck or do you still lease with Central?
