Lol lucky #######! Still the 2hr difference on unload/reload times in QC?

 

I have no idea, got sent over to Blue City and line jumped everyone waiting for my load. 8 trucks in line and they gave me first available. Lol for a load that doesn’t deliver till Monday.

Don’t see how it would take 2 hours for reload when it was just me and 2 other trucks there. But it was the evening.

 

yeah but that place is so small it's full 24/7! I don't even like to fuel there.

 

Testing tomorrow. Of course today on our final run thru of the road course, I hit the curb with tractor on a tight left turn...never had any trouble with it until today, haha.

 

I lucked out with my trainer, zero aggravation, we get along great. He gave me a heads up before we went out and told me he had a few days of down time coming up, he said if I wanted another trainer that was cool. I'm not stressed if we don't drive the absolute maximum miles every single day towards my 15,000, it'll happen when it happens. Met and hung out with his wife and kids yesterday and today, went to Virginia Military Institute, saw Robert E. Lee's chapel and crypt, had dinner at a little ma and pa Italian place that served way too much food lol, had a cookout for lunch today at his son's dorm and now I'm hanging out in a hotel in the mountains in Virginia. The HoJo in Lexington is remodeled and only $60 a night for some reason, if you're in the area you won't beat it. Here's the $60 balcony view lol

Good luck tomorrow, never fails that something like that happens just to mess with your head lol

 

Good luck tomorrow. Talked to Greg today and hes got you set up to come out with me.

 

Why are we required to work for free at times? No other industry has to yet we do.

Delivered in east side of Houston this morning. Reload was on the West side of Houston 25miles away and it took me 55mins to get there because of rush hour traffic....how much was i paid for this??? ZEROOOOO because Houston to fn Houston. Its BS. If they dont want to pay us mileage pay because of the ignorant zip code to zip code then pay us an hourly rate or even a flat rate of like $25 if your delivery and pickup is in the same city.

Its 1 thing when its podunk lil town and takes 5mins to get from A to . But when its Chicago, Houston, etc we deserve paid something

 

Yeah, that doesn't seem in line with SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY...not paying a driver to travel within a zip code.

 

What should I bring along?
