New horizons with Holland Enterprises (Fargo,ND)

Productive week

 

Looks like the multi-Walmart OK/TX

 

No grocery w/h's east coast and pointless broker load (basically 700 miles stretched over 40 hours) Only 1 extra stop, one a 12 hour unload

 

I'm on track to do 6,500 dispatched miles in 13 days on the calendar when I park in Connecticut Monday night.

... Plus additional pay for 3 xtra stops fwiw

Not trying to rub it in. Just saying the good weeks far outnumber the not-so-good

 

Decided to knock off early today ..


Just wanted to see what could be done with 44k lbs citrus from Bakersfield. The truck stops fell just right to maximize time, and nice weather helps, too. Spring is here?

280 miles Monday (sleep late) for 05:00 unload Tuesday in Connecticut. Then back to Vegas?

Been some good running lately. A few gaps at beginning and end of loads with appointments but nothing that really hurt too bad

Bellingham, WA - Shelbyville, IN
Cincy, OH - San Antonio, TX
Garland, TX - Casa Grande, AZ
Casa Grande, AZ - Atlanta, GA
Lithonia, GA - Shelbyville, IN (Swap Indy)
Walton, KY - Seattle, WA
Portland, OR - Nazareth, PA
Carlstedt, NJ - Stockton, CA via LA County
Bakersfield, CA - South Windsor, CT

 

I'm looking forward to coming back to Holland. See y'all on the 21st.

 

stop being a ##### and just go with it

 

Wrong...that's being asinine....you don't run over gross period...

 

Sounds like he needs to troll since he's one of those "real truckers always run outlaw" drivers.... Until he gets caught and complains about shippers and DOT being unfair.

If a company tells a driver to take a load anyways and its not legal, they are just as likely to turn around and punish the driver for running overweight if he or she gets caught. I won't pull an illegal load like that for anyone.

 

Assuming the driver has an apu he can start by claiming the 400 lb apu exemption. That would be close enough to the 80400 lb limit there.

As far as his other weights go his 5th wheel obviously isn't set up correctly if he's running under 11000 on the steer axle. Unless he has a fixed 5th wheel, which if that's the case the 5th wheel is obviously set up incorrectly in the first place and needs to be adjusted somehow.
