An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Mine might be one of those intermittent issues. Drove from Bliss, ID to Ontario, OR and I saw the gauge come down some. Now I filled it in Chehalis, drove to Spanaway (75 mi) then to Arlington(95 mi) up to Mt Vernon WA, back to Arlington and then delivered around the corner, and I haven't seen the gauge move.

 

While talking to my dispatcher, he told me we have 3 trucks headed to Fairbanks, AK., all the way from TX. 3 helicopters. And they're traveling via land, not by sea. That is likely going to be a loooooong deadhead getting back out of Alaska.

I got a load off the yard. 2 stop, 1 in Layton, UT on Monday and the 2nd stop in Henderson, CO on Wednesday...crane unload, no early delivery. A whopping 1330 miles. This will likely be another crap paycheck. The first 2 were from the holidays, but this is gonna be just a product of this new Sunday-Saturday weekly pay. Strike 1...3 strikes in 1 quarter and the truck gets parked, and the canuks can eat it if they want. They #### up my benefits, they put us on this non-flatbed payroll cycle...now my weekly pay is averaging less than half of what my bi-monthly pay used to average...I have had about enough of the new owners.

 

With the Canuk log regs, don't you have to get a 24 hr break in there some place? If I remember correctly, they require 1 continuous 24 hour break within 14 days.

As far as the logo, I think I have seen it on some new hoodies some of the desk jockies were wearing.

As far as the trucks, I'll never see one...I will be long gone before that ever happens, I have honestly had about enough of open deck in general.

 

It's been a while since I was in Canada, didn't it used to be 14 days
