Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Good Lord, well if anyone can get through all this it would be you. I always enjoyed your posts when you worked at Magnum. You are definitely a guy with 'the glass is half full' mentality. Stay positive and you will get through this I have no doubt.

 

carramrod32, man you don’t know the half of it! He is the most optimistic man I believe I have ever met! Don’t cross him though or the shovel might appear

 

You know we are paid by the mile and not the minute @Brian76 right? He’ll use about 40 hrs of clock...and likely get a similar amount of miles on the return.

 

After this run I need to come back to one of the yards to have a PM done. When I went to bed the load offer wasnt sent yet but at some point my peoplenet said I had a new message so Im hoping they sent it through so I can start planning.

 

Well did a brokered run from out of Lousiana to Texas to get back in network and picked up in Dallas and delivering a load in Concord, NC. Still waiting to hear back on my preplan.

 

Haven't been on the thread lately. After my Portland OR to Des Plaines trip, tried getting a load to Fargo for my pm. Thankfully, the offer was to Eagan. After looking at the forecast Tuesday for Fargo, called Mandi and said I would go to CR for the service. Lol, she had no clue about the weather! So will get the service done tonight and load at Gaylord going to Harrisburg PA for Sunday night...looks like an ok trip as this storm in Twin Cities now is going NE and sparing PA. Ncmikey, ouch! Glad they could put you into good use with ELD transition...you may find an office job in your future! Safe travels, everyone!

 

My load is going to Mclanes in tualatin, OR. Anyone been here before? I pick up in fort smith AR at 1pm 1-12. Drop in tualatin OR at 12:30am 1-16. Its a tight schedule with perfect conditions and right now weather map shows horrible conditions out west.

 

5,027 miles so far for 2018! Great start!

 

Reload tomorrow in Daswonville GA going to Witchita KS. Never done this load before it’s a CNH.
It’s one these you loads you can’t there from here. There is no real good routing on this one.

 

There's really no good parking for that delivery that I can recall. I parked at the rest area on I-5 (north bound) south of there - about 9 miles away. There's a TA & Flying J a little further south. After they unloaded me, i parked on the street by McLane's, although I've heard of people getting parking tickets for it. I didn't have any problems, though.

Also, I'd try to get a little more time on that trip. You'll be going through several mountainous regions that will slow you down even in good weather. I just came through Utah, Idaho & Oregon, and it was snowing pretty heavily in the mountains, I was fortunate that the temp was hovering at or above freezing. 2000 miles through the mountains in 35 hours is cutting it REAL tight. Plus, you don't need the pressure of being on time while driving through some of that. Just my $0.02
