Outpost cafe next door to the pilot in Hespia,CA.... Holy crap these burgers and sweet potato fries are so dang good. Highly recommend to anyone passing through. I15 exit 141...
Some Beach....Some Where... Pontoon Beach to be exact. Jopmo to here...pick up here going to Omaha. Deliver first load at 0800. pick up next at 1500. high value, no overnight stops. the distance between the truck stop, to the first deliver is 1.3 mile. Deliver to next top is .1 mile. Yesterday this would have been no problem. Rooster has been ELdeed. Second load unassign. Rreplacement load 280 mile with hazmat. Still doesn't equal out.
These ELD's are going to change the way the planners actually plan. Could mean they get very good at reducing dwell time or very bad. We'll see.
Towell man...I heard a stat today. Only 35% of the fleet has hazmat. I make an extra couple hundred bucks every month on them, and you don't sit too long in Laredo if you are 24th on the board. I recommend it grasshopper.
They only ever give me short 300 or 500 mile hazmat loads and I only ever get 1 or two a month max. With how short and often I get them it's honestly a waste of my time imo
They won't let us opt out. Only way to not be required to have it is if you got grandfathered in from when the company didn't require it... That's what I've been told anyways otherwise I would opt out.
