Got to the Richmond yard at 10am this morning. We woke up and left the Loves in Webbers Falls Ok at 0500 yesterday morning. Drove the truck as a true team yesterday and last night. We dropped our load out of Yuba City Ca at the WM yard, hooked and empty, went to Byhalia for a drop and hook, dropped that in Wytheville last night at 11:45 pm, then bobtailed to Richmond. My trainee then grabbed a shower, hopped in her car, then drove down to Atlanta for a meeting tomorrow with her lawyer. Me? Hometime has been in the system since last Thursday, my DM went home early today for an emergency, and everyone else at the window has this complete and utter look of stupidity when I tell them homeward bound. The best they can do? Offer me a load that delivers Friday in Fort Pierce that won’t be ready until Wednesday. Ain’t happening. I came down with a sinus infection that feels like someone is on my shoulder pounding my head with a hammer. I reserved a rental car for tomorrow, if they have nothing I can leave with by noon, I’m outta here. Then I’ll be back a week from Thursday. It’s so rewarding when you have the ability to call the shots. I just gave them 4 weeks, 16,000 miles, trained my truck mate only how to back up, and now it’s time to go home. With or without a truck.

Well, had to go see the nurse practitioner at work today. Started coming down with one of my patented sinus infections. Got no sleep last night, woke up with a pounding headache. Got checked out and ran down to CVS for some antibiotics and Flonase. I’ll stay here until tomorrow then leave out. Every bump I hit feels like I was dropped off the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Heard there’s meetings going on all day. Hopefully they’ll clear the truck parking issue at the Richmond terminal.

East of I-35 baby. Can’t load the trucks we have now running that section, let’s put the whole fleet there.

Ok, time for some kind words for my employer. Thank goodness we have a nurse practitioner on duty M-F 8-4. I saw her yesterday, got my antibiotics and Flonase prescribed and rested all day yesterday. Feeling a little better. All the changes and such here reminds me of the dog chasing it’s tail, except this practitioner we hired. What a great idea. Now, if they can straighten out this freight issue, I might stay here.
