    We dont even have available trailers for the Gatorade loads we run now and they want to increase the loads?. Get ready for more reefer madness.

    I did one of my training written tests at Wytheville, didnt know they did orientations there. Can't make a good first impression on the new hires when they travel all that way then have to use the portajohn out back. :eek:

    I thought you had always worked here?.

    I was so sure that your story would read that you went back to get your reefer and it was gone. That happened to me last time I was there. Dropped my empty, hit the 7/11 wait 4 hours to get a load that was ready to be picked up 6 hours ago only to find that someone else needed that empty trailer more than i did. Had to go over to San Bernardino and do a whole song and dance to be allowed in the gates to get one of our empties there.

    That was where I learned that it takes over 20 minutes for an email sent from Richmond VA, to reach San Bernardino CA :rolleyes:

    Sure we do. Knight/Swift have thousands of trailers. You can use the bathroom upstairs. Just open the window if you're having tummy issues.

    I've been gone about 2 years. Just came back last week
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Hopefully the answer is " They are here to pull BH Brooklyn loads".

    I'm mustering up the courage to ask my DM if I can do a reset.

    Knowing how they love to run us on recap I bet the planners are looking for a load less than 2 minutes away as I type this. o_O

    If they give you a load, cheerfully send in the Begin Trip macro ASAP.

    Sorry, by the time you got there I was leaving Sabra in Oceanside. Pretty sure they put more on the trailer than the BOL says. I'm 500lbs under gross but at 3/8 fuel I'm just barely legal on my drive and trailer tandem. 39k my touchus.
