    I remember that being a kid and living with my grandparents; we would seat in the balcony and watch the sunset listening to the sound of the cricket's. It was a wonderful experience!:) But! When somehow a cricket gets into your truck and under your bed!
    It's not a wonderful experience! :mad:

    So this HP order was all kinds of wrong (from HP)... Dollar Tree s/b Family Dollar... NW 22nd Ave s/b NW 2nd Ave... and when I arrived at 8:20 was informed that the 8am LUL s/b 6am

    Parked last night in a laundromat parking lot until I could verify details this morning... and I highly doubt they will let me stay on their little postage stamp of a parking lot to complete my 10... {sigh}

    Thankfully this doesn’t happen often.

    PSA:

    One of North America’s largest enforcement blitzes is just around the corner. Operation Safe Driver Week begins on July 14th and runs for an entire week.


    Every year the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Operation Safe Driver Week sees law enforcement across North America cracking down on “unsafe driving behaviors” around Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs). The goal of the program is to reduce the number of people killed in large truck crashes.

    This year, the CVSA has selected speeding as the emphasis area for enforcement officers. The message that the CVSA has been pushing is “Late won’t kill you, speeding will.” Officers will also be on the lookout for other violations including distracted driving, texting, following too closely, improper lane changes, and more.

    Strange... I already had this place in my Contacts... but I don’t remember going there... maybe I’ll stop in the next time I’m running up I-95 to RVA.

    Thanks for sharing!!!

    PFG sure is an interesting place.....was supposed to drop at yard but got a message to take it all the way in. Was up against my 14 yesterday when getting this loaded since drove all night Wed night to deliver a BH at 4 am yesterday and couldn't drop it last night. Took longer than I thought to get to RVA from where I was this morning. I got up at 4 am thinking Id be alright. Id have gotten up at 2am if they told me they wanted it here at 730 this morning. Somebody messed up the times in load assignment and accidentally put pm instead of am I think as well as the date too, should use military time, a lot easier to understand, lol! Either that or they just decided to tell me after the fact as if I can read minds, lol! If anything is left up to me Ill get up at 3-4 am and roll like I prefer to do.
     
    Lonesome and Silverdriver Thank this.

    Yeah once for me was enough.

    Maybe it's just been my truck,but has anybody else seen a change in the freight.It almost seems like the company has turned to regional.
