    Got my next load going to Edwardsville, IL from Laredo. Love the drop and hooks.

    Also, the new yard in Laredo is behind the TA (exit 12B Northbound I-35 and exit 13 Southbound I-35). I know the road is a dead end, but it is no longer a dead end. Go to the dead end and turn right. Right now though, the trailers are still at the old yard. According to Mr. Mundie, the trailers won't move to the new yard until the 14th of this month.

    Not that anyone cares, but my time with FFE has come to an end. I pick up my new truck on Monday and officially become an owner operator. Wish you all the best.

    Well I cycled through to lancaster on friday and got my fancy new kllm fuel card. I honestly think thats all there doing with us lonely old company drivers. And after nov 4 i think theyll start recycling us through to get the trucks re decalled. I believe there only doing you lease ops with the orientaion for now. Im thinking after the dust settles and the first of the year i might sign a lease not sure yet....

    I don't know how the company drivers are being handled. I do know that they are doing orientations in both Lancaster and Jackson. I heard they do orientations in Atlanta too, but I think that is just for new KLLM company drivers.

    I was in Lancaster on Friday and I saw many Freightliners with new decals, but no numbers. Parking is becoming an issue because there are so many trucks and trailers on the yard.

    I was planning on writing about the orientation experience, but I have not been very motivated. Things are changing constantly too, so what I write today might be wrong tomorrow. If you have not already scheduled orientation my advice is to wait until after November 4th. That is the date that all of the TL freight will be available to the KLLM system.
