    Probably was a memo note, they are trying to 'clean up' a few items and are desperately looking for drivers. Would live to chat abt a few items.

    Johnboy has been gone for several weeks now. He has latched on to a "gravy job". You can follow him in FedEx Ground Linehaul with Johnboy

    Delivered my Hill-Phoenix load last night. Got a load to pick up a pre-loaded Ikea trailer in New Jersey and take it to Norfolk. Has to be there tonight by 7:00pm. No problem.

    Got to the shipper, hooked the load, slid the tandems to where I'm used to them being for a 44k load, and noticed on the load PSI gauge that the drives were super heavy. Slid the tandems all the way forward to take weight off the drives, and they were still heavy. Drove 35 minutes to the nearest truck stop in the correct direction, scaled out, and discovered I was nearly a full ton overweight on the drives.

    So now I'm back at the shipper, in a dock, waiting for the lumpers to come back from lunch so they can rework my whole trailer. I can make it to the receiver before I run out of hours, but whether I can make it there before the 7:00pm cutoff depends on how fast they can get me re-worked.

    Delivering my stihl load now in Malvern, Ar then bounce to the yard for a 34 and leave out Sunday with the Garland/Dallas BH run. Another place haven’t been to yet, looks easy enough.

    Microwave went capoot so went to walmart and discovered they are apparently taking out the truck parking spots because it was fenced off and curbs being put in. So if anybody is coming to west memphis no more truck spots at the walmart. Going to get to where there going to be no trucks allowed anymore anyplace and going to get told to eat fast food three times a day every day at truck stops.

    Kicked off my two BH stops then got sent to Tyson in Vernon, Tx to reload going to Walmart in Auburn, IN for 0200 Wednesday but told them I wouldn’t make that appt so will see what they do. My 14 caught up to me at second stop being I started my clock 0230 this morning so as I was getting loaded my clock was going down so I only made it to Oklahoma City. Saw a can hauler lose his can on an off ramp, looked like only the back was locked in and front wasn’t.
