A good friend of mine who recently departed would have said "that guy sounds like he's suffering from chronic lakanookie"

 

And it's still on fire this morning. Too hot for firefighters to get to it. They still are not sure what's on fire but the think it's PVC pipe under the bridge

 

Got a load closer to home. Pick up Sunday, deliver to what looks like a grocery store in Keystone Heights FL ...unless they put a small Supervalu d/c at the address since google maps flew the satellite over that area.

 

Hey y'all!!!!! I've been MIA and I see you guys have been pounding the pavement. Let's see I went on home time last week in Myrtle Beach. Jeremy called me with a brokered load going back up to Minnesota and it only weighed a whopping 6,000 lbs....picked up my next load over by St. Cloud and showed up like 4 hours early and was out in under 2 hours...running that load out to Jackson, MS. Woke up to my next load going up to Illinois. Trying to get routed into Fargo because it's B service time.

 

Is there a new load offer message format? I just got this weird "Driver Manifest pick and run" message that appears to be a load offer, but it just looks different and didn't come with a directions page. I left Matt a message since I'm headed to his area so he probably sent it to me. I was listening to the playback and I wasn't sure what it was saying, so I just pulled into a rest area to read it. Oh well, I'll be on my way again...

 

Yep, and as I understand it, you won't get the actual load offer until you complete the load you're currently on. Once it's completed (empty consignee) it should send the next load offer.

 

I got the same thing sent a msg saying I had no fb# temp or pick up# and then I got the old style sent to me.

 

Well, been one of my better months. The Garmin Nag-a-gator said I ran 13487 miles since the start of this month. The peoplenet engine/driver data says 13782. Ran my tail off on this load. Left Othello, WA at 630 am on tuesday (930 am easter time). Pulled into the Peelot in Cartersville GA at 1600 (eastern) today...that's 2400+ miles in 78 hours. It would have been quicker, but I hit Walmart yesterday morning, then got caught up in a major backup east of Boonville MO, took 1.5 hours to go 6 miles.

**Update...it was one of my better months...until I got my trimester stat's. $.03 pay cut for my remaining time here. Makes my leaving so much more right than ever before.

 

Oh OK I remember Chad sending out a message about something like that but I didn't realize it was going to change the messages and how they work. Thanks!

 

Stats are out!

My stats for Nov-Feb:
7.48 mpg
45,848 miles + 1,827 layover miles = 47,675 total
11,918 average monthly miles
0 home time. But I'll be taking 10 days off in April.
