KLLM Driving Academy (Lancaster, TX)

The way some tanks are on the trailer. It's a pain putting it in and pulling it out. When I tried to pull it out. I was just hitting the frame of the trailer. Even tried twisting the nozzle left and right but no luck. Just kept hitting the frame.

 

Sitting here in the driver's check in. Why do they make us wait in here while getting loaded unload? I hate it. I want to take a nap. Got two pp's. I'm getting reloaded here and going down to Columbus,GA. Then deadhead to Sparta,TN to pick up. I don't know where that load is going to yet. I'm kinda starting to feel the same way other drivers feel about my dm. He is slow to respond. Was told that this place stop receiving at 5. Called him to see. 2hrs down the road call him back. His response was oh yeah we talked to them. They will work you in. You couldn't have called me back to let me know why?

 

What do you mean? Waiting on a load or time to myself?

 

Well since this load don't deliver until Monday. Going to take a 34hr reset and run hard Sunday to knock out 500+ miles. That would put me in a 100 miles radius of the customer. And just bring it in then. Place is a first come first serve. With fresh hours I'm hoping to get a 800-1k mile load.

 

Your going to get mixed feelings. Some are doing good. Others not so much. If you can, try and find some drivers at a truckstop or rest area. Some will give you an honest opinion. Others will give you a fairytale. Especially the guys that are leasing. Just remember to do what's best for you.
