I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

HEY! THANK YOU MR. TALL... Maybe one of these days we can meet each other...

 

Yeah and it CLOSES at 9pm--in a truckstop.....thats almost as wrong as whoever painted the lines in that pkg lot that thought trailers were only about 80" wide.....

 

That part I did not know. This angers me. Lol

 

I almost got run over this morning. As I was leaving the building there was a truck with its hood open at the fuel island, I was just about to start walking along the right side when it started backing up. There were spots directly behind him so I figured he must be having engine issues and wanted to get off the fuel island. Just as I walk in front of him as he's backing, if stops them starts rolling forward. I dash out of the way as he proceeds to drive forward. He gives me a "You idiot" look and proceeds to nose into a spot. I thought dude, you're the ####### idiot driving in a parking lot with your hood open!

 

Back on my truck but only crappy loads available today and nothing worth deadheading for so I'm sitting tight till tomorrow and taking a decent paying load to hell.....er.....Laredo

 

Cool. Just got a call asking me if I wanted a load from here in Houston that delivers in Huntington IN by 1500 Friday. Price is right so away I go.

 

A load out of Houston that pays worth a ####? Your lucky day lol.

 

The rate was great for Houston. Still below where I like to be but it set me up to grab a high paying load into York that I can get delivered before my settlement cutoff and makes up for the extra day down this week.

 

My former employer often had to run me up to near Dallas or to San Antonio to get an El Paso load that paid decent. The brokers acted like $1 a mile from Houston to El Paso was doing us a favor.

 

Yeah I usually deadhead to Orange to an account we have there on to Ennis to find a good paying load. I would never come to Houston if my kids weren't here.
