Parked Here for the Night

Parked at co. terminal in Dallas. One of those days where the driver knows more than the dispatcher or the planners but the driver is told to do it the way he knows is wrong and then the driver loses 3 hours because nobody listened to the driver in the first place.

However the driver in this case ends up happy because he is getting compensated for it.

 

At the Love's in Springville, UT. Did a drop and hook in Farmington, NM. We have a broke down truck there and I dropped a Salt Lake bound load and picked up a Salt Lake bound load that delivers tomorrow. Apparently they've been leapfrogging loads through there all week.

 

Oooooo. Canada!!!!! Ohhh. Wait. Not there yet. But #### close. Blaine,wa is it Jordan or Pakistan, India? Holy cow!

I want out.

 

Lake, MS......

MEH it's a spot. And less than 8 hours from Dallas.

Came across us96 and us80 out of Macon. Was a nice run especially because I avoided ATL and B'ham.

 

nicceeeeeeee

 

Sitting at my co. terminal in OK... Some trucks here but I wonder if there's anybody inside any of them... Folks will arrive tomorrow morning and I will get some renewed permits, replace my OK turnpike sticker... will show them one tire that may need to be replaced... and who knows what else... maybe they decide to do the last truck PM of the year... and download info off the black box... and give me the Christmas gifts they have for each driver... Who knows... Going to bed now...

 

@ the terminal twice in 30 days????

 

I wonder who that driver might be
If I was that driver I wouldnt even remember
when they were right and I was wrong
I would consider that impossible

 

Last time they replaced windshield panels because of chips and fuel filter and PeopleNet unit. And now needed to replace OKlahoma turnpike sticker cause the one they gave me wasn't working, and they gave me the new permits and IFTA stickers... and they will replace one tire because the tread is getting almost DOT non compliant in some small area... and they also installed new Co-Pilot software in the PeopleNet unit. And they gave me another WM gift card and a nice button up long sleeves shirt for Christmas...
