    Same. This one has a Midnight-to-4pm drop window on the load assignment though.

    Dunno how accurate that reflects the reality of the situation, but all I gotta do is get up half an hour earlier than usual to give myself a 3pm ETA so it ain't a big deal.
     
    Lonesome and JohnBoy Thank this.

    Let me rephrase that. It will be late after midnight past 4pm. It took me my first 6 times there to finally get an understanding how they work it. FYI, you might want to ask them what type of trailer they want you to grab. The first time I took an empty dry van and they told me to go back for a reefer, I now make sure we’re all on the same page before I leave.

    I think I saw an advertisement somewhere in the last week or so that Lumber Liquidators has changed their branding... something like “LL Flooring” ... I always thought Lumber Liquidators was a strange name for a place that does flooring.

    Anyone hear/know their new name?

    Looking at all the containers from China sitting at the main DC in Sandston, it should be called “China’s cheap disgusting flooring”. Or, “Nothing good ever comes from China, especially building materials”.

    Trucker supper in NM tonight... It's nice to have bacon on the truck. We got a 2lb bag of cooked bacon pieces at Sam's.

    I40 is closed West of Albuquerque, rollover, fatality from what we read. It was real windy, according to Tai, I was asleep. We were lucky to make it through okay, and glad to have weight in the box.
