    The lumper service told me there was actually five trucks in the mud. Just couldn't see them because it is so dark. I dropped my trailer in the door and bobtailed to Lathrop.

    And my neighbors insist on mowing the dormant grass in their yards just because the sun is shining and its 45 degrees outside.

    Let's start with I delivered in Riverside, and Walmart took 4 hours to unload. No biggie. I went to Vernon to load, appt wasn't till 15:00 and they weren't taking me any earlier. I am to meet a new driver to swap trailers with, but he doesn't know how to work his Qualcomm and his "phone went out". All day it was a mystery on where he was or when he was going to get there. Back to loading, finally got loaded at 5:30 and enter LA traffic. One hour later I make it to Pacioma and they say I have to go back because they forgot to put 4 pallets on. They took another 1.5 hours and off to meet this driver. Got him to meet me in Coso Junction on 395 and learned he doesn't know how to run a reefer, an elog or a Qualcomm. Get to walnut one hour late. lol. And now in Santa Ana to go to Woodburn, OR for Monday. No rest for the wicked.

    so exactly how does the other driver get down the road
    not utilizing Qualcomm
    I suppose if he knew what he was doing there wouldn't have been a swap
    dumb question
