I’m that guy on the account I run. The one they give the stretched out difficult runs to deliver. Some drivers can’t make them and bring the product back, I make them easily. They say “how did they not have time, but you made it and had 45 mins to spare?” I say “easy, they didn’t leave out at 2 am like me to beat traffic. They can’t keep their door shut and don’t know how to manage their time.”
I have a 500+ mile run Monday with 6 stops. I am trying to figure out how to make it back in time for my dentist appointment. If I don’t make the dentist appt, then I just don’t make it. But I wouldn’t bet against me.

Makes me want to hire you if I was a company. You would be getting runs no one else willing to do.

That’s exactly what happened. I expected worse myself. In fact my manager thought I put the wrong trailer number on my BOL b/c the trailer I was pulling had no marks on it at all. There was another trailer there that looked more like it would have been involved.

I spoke with a few carriers today. All said they would hire me as long as I checked out everywhere else, which I will. ill sleep on it this weekend and make a decision next week.
Obviously this is an area that will need to be worked on for me. I will need to get back to deliberately taking turns extra wide and get it burned back into my muscle memory.
