From Company driver to L/P

Yea we heard. Not good for warehouse. It would be great if Tracey took over or went back to full time. But that won't happen.

 

Well, I got a surprise this morning hubby is going back to warehouse side with 9 other drivers. Seems they all got tired of another planner crap when there main dispatcher was not at work. Ford account needs a city only driver to move trailers that need fixed and do not ask it of the otr drivers.
Anyway, all is good with the truck. Hubby enjoying food he is making since we bought new inverter. He has is own microwave now again which helps and a full size mid frig. Now to get a for an grill and send him off with slow cooker and he will be set. We already have the TV as he had that when he drove with OD. Microwave is from that time too. So he will be doing alot better.
This week he also has one of our dogs with him. I have no idea where he is going for I have been to busy here at home today. Lol

 

Well, first week back in warehouse 3900 miles. That was a trip down to Houston TX. This week it's down to FL. At least both times are after storm has passed. He missed these trips as with Fleet it's all regional and drop and hook. Now it's all live dock with multi stops that he gets paid for plus more otr. We don't expect miles like that but at least he won't go as low as when he left last time.

 

Who did I pass today on 11e going to Joust? Or were they headed to Johnson City area?. Today is my bill paying day so I was headed to 81 and an Equity truck passed me going other direction.
I was on phone with hubby who was in GA going north from FL. Anyway, he is setup up nice for weekend.
Shame fleet can't be good sports but instead have to be conniving backstabbers. What I referring to is a forced load on a friend company driver since he left fleet for warehouse. His one old lady dispatcher forced dispatcher to warehouse on Ford account. Funny thing is Ford is Not happy about it which is another story. But she didn't hurt our friend has he made his miles and then some. But the shenanigans with the Ford account are not going unnoticed by Ford it seems. Someone has not been telling them the truth.

Anyway, hubby is looking at some new parts for truck and stopped in yet another chrome shack. Picked up some catalogs too. But next buy will be a new headset for him I think. His blue parrot is acting up but it's old too like 4 years old.
So this week he has 2400 miles which is do to some lazy construction folks and port time where he picked up after those lazy folks. Yes, frieght is up way up bills paid on time or close to it. Got alot of back bills paid off. Just two more to go. Life is much better now for many reasons.

 

Well, hubby was up at main office in Michigan right after one of the ex drivers who finished their lease and got their title was there. No it was not Wickedfire77 but another and he now works with Landstar. Seems he is doing real good there, so we will be moving sometime in year 19.

Anyway, hubby running around The these past two days. Got to Meetup for dinner date went to a Perkins. Right now he is in a Loves shop getting air pressure valve fixed. Then off to pickup and back up north.
Headset he bought was the Plantronics Voyager which he has had before and liked. It fits over ear instead of over head like the Blueparrot. The LG around the neck units just don't cut it at all way to grainy. I am about to replace my set too but I like my Jabra units in the ear.
