    5 weeks solo, and missing the exit for the preferred routing made it plenty scary for me.

    Yes, it does change the game a lot when we get off route... did that in NJ once and hope to never need to navigate those side streets ever again... LOL

    So I get to my pickup and they "just closed"... normally closes at 5pm but tonight they closed at 7pm... (five minutes ago)... so I wait until morning... sent QC in to inform anyone of the change in plans... guess there is another guy here that is loaded but no hours... so I am taking his loaded trailer and he will wait until morning... works for me.

    It's happened to all of us a time or two and in most instances, is never fun.

    Who knows... :(

    It was mentioned to me that they would like to see my miles increase...

    I'm like, me too... LOL :p

    Sat on the yard today for close to five hours hoping the garage would just hook up a PC to my data port and tell me why this truck keeps tossing engine fault codes at me... the WM Yard doesn't have a PC so when they did my PM they referred me to the Richmond Yard... LOL

    Seems odd to me that we are supposed to get stuff done at WM to shift some work off of the Richmond Yard but yet this is now twice I have been turned away at WM to have the job finished at Richmond... which means another day of down time for a driver... ugh.

    So now I've been to two different yards on two different occasions and still no one can just clear the code and tell me it's "just some sensor, no worries"... LOL

    So what's going on here? Who knows. :(
