    I still don't comprehend why I must start the ball rolling. Should I be finding my own loads, too?

    Again... Stopping the momentum... {shrug}

    Hey buddy, it's your ball,
    do with it what you want.

    Just sit there on the patio with the others and wait and complain until after we are all rolling with our nice, sweet loads to TX and CA... They will get around to those that wait to be called upon, eventually... Plenty of NE loads, so I hear.

    :)

    And no one said anything about "finding loads"... Just trying to help you grab the loads that are here and available.

    Now, send a QC message to get routed back to Richmond after your drop in TX so you can have that heart to heart talk face to face with your Fleet Manager.

    Or Not... Again, it's your ball buddy. :)

    @Evomalo I don't leave my truck at the yard because 1.) I only have 1 car and don't want to put an extra 125 miles a week on it for hubby to come pick me up & 2.) I don't like leaving my truck there. Too many things have gone missing since I've been there. & 3.) I don't have to take all my stuff (gps, etc) and groceries out. Then have to put it all back in at once. Much easier to walk 10 steps out of my door to it at my leisure. Also, when home, I plug it in and let shore power take over.

    Was also planning to wait on the pm for a bit(like in the middle of my 3 weeks out), but the dang thing had a mind of its own and decided to rest at the most inconvenient time.:)
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    Heading to the Richmond Yard to have my truck looked at in the morning before rolling on up to Baltimore... If anyone is around speak up.

    Stay Safe,

    That wouldn't have worked for the first one. It was supposed to be on the yard but was actually at a plant.

    It comes back to being a simple job. "Read load instructions on QC, then execute".

    99.9% of everything we do originates with the QC. If the QC can no longer be relied on then everything falls apart.
