    just think of all the fun you'll have again running back to Syracuse next week. hopefully next time you wont have to wait on swift to get you a trailer. sorry bout stealing the trailer from you Tuesday. i made it to Fogelsville and back to leesport that night with 1 min. on the clock. i ended the week with 2300 miles and 20 dh.

    I didn't make it to fogelsville till 9am next morning.

    Thats okay lol it wasn't you that took my trailer dispatch took it. But you'll get your turn hehehe they've got some kind of arrangement with swift now to pull their trailers for some back hauls and now everyone there is in the loop. Part of the problem with me getting one Tuesday was the terminal manager there hadn't gotten the message yet. You're there more than me you'll be pulling them lol and they don't give up the good ones they'll give you a couple of junk ones to choose from.

    Yeah I'll be up there next week again until my truck is fixed and I can get it back. Then hopefully not for awhile.

    I did get layover pay for the 24hrs I was stuck in Syracuse and a management drop for having to deal with getting the rental so that took some of the sting out of the short miles / drops.

    Funny thing happened sitting at the pilot there in Syracuse. Was posting in another thread and met one of the forum staff there. Turns out we were posting in the same thread and he was parked right beside me. Pretty cool guy. What are the odds of that happening again?

    O no, I don't know if I should laugh or cry for ya, LOL

    I really feel bad for ya, but it does happen sometime.

    Got my backhaul assignment Fri afternoon about 1430, back to Columbia SC Pepsi, d/h on Monday morning, I am feeling lucky compared to what you have experienced this week.

    If I was hauling a swift trailer behind me, it just would not feel right----LOL

    Did see something to do with tire depth posted in the truck shop Fri. 8/32 for summer time, and 10/32 for winter time, nice to know info, I am getting close, time to break out the tire gauge---


    Our loaded trailer lines at ECRU< MS> SY1, SY2, SY3, where all loaded up on Fri morning when I went threw there.


    Hope u have a better week

    in all fairness to him, the trip assignment did specify a swift trailer. I was trying to get out of there without one lol if he hadn't shown up I might have gotten out of there without one too. we only had one empty there

    Was going to be a nice friday night at home untill somebody tore the hood off one of our tractors at a customer last night. He might have lost his job cost that ashley driver down time so far from home and made me work into to saturday as i had to cover his load he was going to do. And all he had to do was pay attention while pulling out of a dock.
