I get to the shipper no problem to find, get into a door and wait to get loaded.... My light turned green went into sign the paperwork and hit the road. Now on my way to Memphis, Tn nice run all the wasy cross I-40 Sounds good huh? Yea they want me to relay the load at the terminal in Nashville, headed through the smokies and 4 wheelers dont know how to drive at all.... I ran all the way to Knoxville and stopped at the TA to grab a bite to eat and got back on my way. Got to nashville in almost 3 hrs and shut it down, it now thursday and Easter is sunday so hopefully they have something to get me back to Ohio from here we'll see keep you posted....

Hey Clutch Heavy how are the miles shaping up over there. Also, how is the idling policy over there, have they starting hassling you about idling yet?

 

clutch- sounds like they are moving you from one spot to another....with very little rest time. keep us posted on your adventure with star.

 

thanks all you guys the miles are here and I dont sit alot at all in between loads. they get me home everyweek either loaded or empty,but I get home.They haven't been hasseling me about idleing time at all...

 

I lefted Nashville on a friday to pickup a load not far from the terminal, picked up the load which had 2 stops on it. they called it a hot load so they didnt want me to stop until I get alll the way to the 1st stop, which was in Columbus oh. I did get there to early and tried to get the partial off but they wasn't haven't it, so I had to wait until sunday morning. I got the 1st stop off Sunday and headed to the next stop which was in pittsburgh pa, and it was a drop and hook and all I had to do is drop it and go to the house for the holiday. All in all I got home early and enjoyed my time... Keep you posted....

 

sounds good! so all in all you are liking it? what is the bonus pay like?(multiple stops and breakdowns....)

 

Hey everyone, got a load out of the house for a pickup in Shippenburgh Pa which wasn't to far from the house,but what to complain about I get paid for the empty miles anyway!!! I had a couple of days at the house so i'm going to roll hopefully. the load delivers in South Pittsburgh,Tn so I hauled ### down there and they let me get it off early, once the load was off I had to wait a few hours to get something else, I get a message on the Q/c telling me to come to the terminal for a relay load coming out of Florida headed to Indiana which is going to be here later on in the evening. The next morning hooked up to the load went in and got the paperwork,and fuel to no avail hauled ### again to the consignee, got there about 1pm the sameday and had to wait to get unload * was a day early,wasn't trying to unload me early*.. luckly another driver lefted and they gave me his spot (thanks) .... got unloaded and headed to the flying J and got a parking spot!!!! The next morning waited 4 hours to get a load which picked up in Indianapolis with two stops on it,the load was getting me home so I ran with it. Headed to the house.. holla at cha on Monday!!!

 

Well I headed out of the house for the delivery of the load which had two stops on it. The first stop is in Columbus OH, which is about 2 1/2 hrs from the house, and then from there I head to Hagerstown Md for the last drop the 1st on went quick so I ran all day and got to the consignee in (MD) where I did my reset waiting for the next day to get unloaded. I get unloaded which took all day for 90 pcs of freight. Got another preplan to p/u in Dover DE and head to Valdosta Ga which is a drop and hook at the consignee "a good thing". I headed back toward baltimore Md and the traffic is decent and the ride went pretty well to the shipper. I t didn't take to long to get loaded about 45 mins and off I went checking the clock and seeing what time I was going to hit Washington DC, then looking at the clouds it looked as the sky was falling and boy did it fall it rained the hardest I've seen in a while but not to long it passed pretty quick. I got crossed the line and ran I-85 all the way to the xit 4 and hit the sack to catch some ZZZ's woke up the next morning and hauled ### all the way to Valdosta where I stopped to take a shower and get some sleep. The next morning I headed down the street to the consignee and the direction was all screwed up or I wasn't paying attention. Finally I got to the consignee dropped the trl and head back down the road to wait for another dispatched.. well I'll talk to ya later .... Keep ya posted!!!

 

Still in Ga didn't take nothing but 1hr to get another load I loads at the Clorox dry oil plant in ochlocknee Ga and it goes to Maryland which is a good run. I head off the the shipper and the trl is already preloaded I sign in and head to the shipping office get the paper work and located the trl 1st thing I noticed is that the trl # doesnt match the bills but the seal matches so I go back to the office for them to verify it also but the tell me it 's the right one. I hook up to the trl, I hate coming to this place the always so heavy it 45,000 and they have a straight scale<<< what a hassel got the load somewhat legal and ran with it. Now this load is not going to get me home for the weekend,but the miles is what attracted me. Since I've been here i haven't had a run 1,000 mi's or over. But they are a regional carrier, they do get us home every weekend if you want to. So I ran with it,go to Atlanta and boy once again at the wrong time. Traffic and accidents and it wasn't even raining. after that was all done I didnt get to far east to of atlanta when I had to stop. Woke up the next morning and head up the road, my Fleet manager told me he had another load and for me to drop this one at the load in charlotte get a (MT) and got the Conover Nc and get a preloaded trl and head home ... Good news wasn't expecting it this weekend but I got it... I got to the shipper and get some bad news the product that I was to be getting had not been made yet. #### is what i'm thinking right now. So I wait until tomorrow and it's not going to be done until saturday around 8pm, so I wait some more. Finally I get a beep over the Q/C telling me the load is ready,but I already headed off to the shipper to see myself. Drop my MT and p/u the loaded trl. Weight 4,350 hauled ### all the way up I-77 to the house. Got home sunday morning which is bull#### but hey at least I made it .have to leave out monday afternoon to deliver the load in michigan for tues mrning... well hometime ... Keep ya posted!!!!
