    So let me see if I understand this. They have no idea who’s sitting in the yard, don’t know what available trucks they have sitting to move freight, so they send the VP out knocking on doors in hopes of getting freight moved? Outstanding. I’m so glad I’m going to be lost out west the next 2 weeks.

    This place never ceases to amaze me….told my DM yesterday Ill be leaving the house at 0300 this morning to bounce back to Wytheville. Since I moved back to WV from WA Ive always bobtailed home from Wytheville then bobtailed back, last few yrs. No load put on me yesterday so I bobtailed to Wytheville as usual and sat all day thinking no freight. DM calls me and asks where Im at little bit ago…..she is still new so I cut her a break. Planner apparently was setting me up for a load by the house, even though I had no trailer like always when I go home and they got upset cuz I wasn’t given a movement down here….well, always been the same last few years Ive been here, bobtail up and back again as mentioned before. My 14 is shot and putting in layover. Have to leave the house at 0300 to not meet any gas well trucks cuz the rds are too skinny to fit two trucks side by side near the house without rolling over steep hill side or getting stuck in deep ditches. They use different cb channels and I have no clue what they are. Oh, well, five yr anniversary today and picked the 100$ gift card cuz I don’t need the other choices. DM said the planners don’t like her, too bad the good one I had was only temporary and got promoted.

    Then
    office folks want to play games with each other because supposedly they like one another…well news flash to those fools, it dont hurt them one bit but screws the driver as usual..some folks need to grow up(office folks)
