    Sitting at the pilot in White Pine,TN.Have a delivery in Lynchburg for the morning.
    After making delivery,will only have about 5hrs on the old 70 with nothing coming back till Saturday night,maybe a deadhead to get in position for a 34.

    I keep looking for the miles to slow since ive been here,and its just not happening,ive been very blessed,because I know how it feels to be on the other end.

    Another hp load where the trailer wasn't where it was supposed to be. That makes 4 in a row now.

    I know its no big deal as the time I wasted on the wild goose chase doesn't cost the company anything, but its really starting to hack me off.

    Someone isn't entering the move on their QC. I wonder what would happen if I were to do that the next time I had to drop an empty or loaded trailer.

    Im shut down in bordentown now. I need to be in MA by 7 am but traffic and the rain that unleashes the inner moron in some 4 wheelers means there no point trying to go any further this evening only to run out of hours in NYC.

    Curse the fool that said, "11 hours is plenty of time for truck drivers to get anywhere".

    It's not. Even if it were, curse that fool anyways.
