    Nice. Yeah I'm at a whopping 460 to start this week coming up lol. Although I'm just discouraged that I had a good relationship, and good miles with my dispatcher. Then I get Broc Schugel and back to the bottom of the tottum pole I go. I think this time, and my next time I'm out are basically a trial to see what's next for me. It's just I liked having communication with my dispatcher now, there's nothing.



    Yup that was me!

    I know what you mean, switching dispatchers definitely sucks, but it'll happen when you least expect it. You just have to make the best of it. I remember when I first started driving for the company last year, the first dispatcher I had was a pretty cool guy, he was an ex-driver too. But then around Christmas time he decided to go back to driving. Then I was assigned to Alicia. It took us some time to figure out how we like to run, but now we make a pretty good team. Like I said in my last post, I'll be running 2581 miles in the next 5 days. Just be patient. Eventually you'll get the hang of each other.

    I have Josh out of the Columbus terminal, and he's pretty good. He managed to get me a great weekend run to Georgia, knowing that my breakdown made me a bit short on total miles for the week. I will still be a bit short, but I'll rebound this coming week.

    Thanks guys. So let's see. Woke up at 1am to run this out. Started in Gary, IN dropped at target in Fridley, MN. Got a nice new trailer that has 20 refer hours. Got to St. Paul on time( hence the whole reason I woke up so earl). Got all my numbers right, I had a 1 instead of a two so the guy here at americold( who has a very bad attitude) was literally trying everything in the book not to get me loaded. Called dispatch, they settled it. 4 hours later loaded up. Only like 405 miles to Minooka, IL cold storage doesn't have to be there until Tuesday @1am. Start tonight at 12 run it out for a while then stop somewhere finish it up and go from there. Be safe!

    This week will be my first short week, but that is expected since I broke down. When I scan my trip from Wayne Dairy in Richmond, IN to Publix in Dacula, GA I will have just over 1700 miles plus $50 breakdown pay. Also I am currently (as I type) having the joy of spending my 10 in the Atlanta drop yard. The only good thing about it is that I am guaranteed a parking spot. I don't get better rides down a dark hill unless I'm on a roller coaster during fright night at six flags...

    Lets see what Josh gets me to start my week off. Hopefully something over 1500-2000 miles.

    Next time, tell her to go play in traffic.

    Spending the night at the J in West Memphis, Arkansas. Yuck. This town is disgusting. I'll gladly leave here the second my 10 hr break is done. 1071 miles left til New Jersey, gotta be there by 3 am Thursday. Hoo boy this is a tight one!

    Run it out! Anyways so I finally just got a door. While I'm setting up for my back a KLLM driver (can't make this #### up) parks in my blind spot behind me to the right. I get out open my doors, she's like. Can you move your truck I was going to turn around....I'm like lady I'm about to back in this door, straight back and turn around once you get far enough away from me. She calls me a dumb ### and I'm like oh so now were going to name call lol. She took off I think she was confused couldn't find her door or find receiving but after that I wasn't going to help her.


    Anyways, I'm in a door like I said already 8 hours and 30 minutes in on my 10. Going to take another 10 lol because this place looks about as fast as a 3 toed sloth. So good night hopefully it gets better because it can't get any worse!
