    I've been using the EFS mobile driver source App..You will need to contact, as i call her "the fuel card lady" (think it's Jennifer? ) She has to reset your card information so that your able to sign in.

    I made my delivery in Elkhart. . Did a drop and hook in Valparaiso then headed for Springfield mo.. made that delivery and dead headed to Bloomfield mo for a load going to Ottawa il.

    on a side note. .at&t did an update on my Galaxy s3 phone. . Right after that I started having problems with it so I contacted technical support. .I let them take control of the phone remotely so that they could "fix" it.

    4 hours later I could smell electronics burning. .I thought the truck was on fire. . Nope, like a bad episode of mission impossible. . My phone literally went up in smoke. I had insurance on it but they would have to ship me a phone and then send mine back. .ugh!

    Long story short, ended up adding a line to my account. . Bought a new phone. .I'm eligible for an upgrade but the store didn't have the phone. .PIA!

    I did my drop hook in Ottawa IL.. While enroute I received a 2 load offer.

    1. plano to Ohio 230 miles
    2. Jefferson city mo to Lawton ok..506 loaded 325 empty.

    30 seconds later I received a msg that to much time had elapsed and the offers were voided. Wth?! so I sent a msg complaining about the short time. . And I wanted #2.

    so I received a 3 load offer. . And then a pre plan! Ugh.. so I eventually got the Jeff city load.

    That gives me 2,850 miles delivering Saturday. . Hoping for a load from Lawton to KC delivering Sunday evening. . That will max my 70 and make for 2 very good weeks in a row.

    I'm staged at the Petro in Kingdom City.. Be safe.

    Oh yeah. .I broke my record today. .728 miles in 11 hours. (The last 350 were empty though)

    bad thing about that Jeff City load is it is shredded white paper which is a pain to get swept out before picking up out of Lawton. A lot of the time they still will not accept the trailer.

    We have a drop lot for washouts. Just let them know it had a recycle load on it. Before you drop it they put the trl on a list. Its down the street go under the overpass . Its a very rough road to the drop yard drive real slow.
     
    Jaguar115 Thanks this.

    Thanks I didn't know that.

    I also grabbed the newest trailer I could find in hopes the floor wasn't to torn up. Strange thing though, there were only 5 trailers in Ottawa. .loaded and empty combined. .usually there's 40-50.

    I've pulled this load before. . Seems it was a d/h and I had to shuttle trailers in and out of doors. .I can't remember. They say your memory is the second thing to go.
