Greater omaha express ..thread 2.

Hey flash were you coming west on the cross Bronx about noon today ?

 

Nope. Sitting in Bolingbrook, getting loaded to head to Omaha. Been a couple of slow days since coming back out.

Finally found my coolant leak. One of the hoses going to the APU, has been rubbing on a bracket, and finally wore thru. Will probably send me to TK to get it fixed. Should of never been mounted like it was.

BTW, I'm in a black cascadia, #1003.

 

Ok cool , followed one of yours across 30 in Indiana on Sunday...he was very brave lol

 

Was sitting at the peelot in Burns Harbor, in.

 

I'm at the sysco truckstop in Central Islip now .

 

Sob !!!! Boss just called and gave me a raise .

 

Can you give him my number please?

 

Up to 22 cpm now??? Lol

 

Naw flash gotta take it slow , up to 18 cpm now .
Christ everyone knows there's no money in the packing biz and I don't wanna break em.

 

Back to seriousness .
The boss actually did call me today and jacked me up a penny a mile ..not life changing but I did appreciate someone at least notices here .
Also this trip was a test of greater O .
I got out of omaha 8 hours late but had a fresh 70 11 and 14 but had been up all day ...drive all night isn't happening so I ran to Princeton ill on Sat and took a 10.5 hour break .
Left there early Sunday morning and ate a good meal , showered and fueled along the way in Ohio .
Arrived at snow shoe pa last night at 10.5 hours on line 3 ..parked it .
Got up at the 10 hour mark and called my first drop to see if they would take me today and they said heck yeah so I hit it .
I dont go into to nyc low on anything so stopped in Eastern pa for fuel , reefer fuel , def , stock fridge and shower .
Still not a word from dispatch .
Crossed the gwb about noon and nota word from dispatch.
Got to first drop in and out ... second drop in and out .
Went to 3rd drop for the night got parked and that's when boss called and I'm thinking oh oh oh here's the ### chewing for not running all night Saturday tired when then babysitter said I had hours .
Such wasnt the case and got a small raise along with a pat on the back sayin " you kicked ### ".
