Another Millis Experience

Got my truck back, it was a control module for the dash. Its not something they keep in stock but fortunately they had one on hand where somebody else ordered it and never picked it up. Hit ready for dispatch and wtf do I get??? "Head to Eden, you're #1 on the list will get you something soon". Do you believe that #####?

Needless to say here I sit at the terminal and I'm not a happy trucker at the moment. I've really had some frustrating issues with work the last couple of weeks.

 

Got a load out of Eden going to Randolph, MA. I knew that was coming, but was ok because it's over 800 miles. Unloaded in Randolph yesterday morn and sat for 9 hrs waiting for a load. Of course I get a load at 3:00 pm to go 40 miles up the road to pick up recyclable paper. For those of you that don't know, Randolph is near Boston. Getting dispatched out of there at rush hour is no fun.

Anyway, got my load heading to Syracuse. I'm in the dock now waiting to get unloaded. Today is Friday and I have a little over 1100 miles. I'm hoping he will give me a good run for the weekend to help salvage what paycheck I get. I'll be glad when Monday gets here and hope this is all behind me.

 

Sitting in Richfield, dropped the trailer I brought in from Rochester. I pick up tomorrow out of the West Allis lot for Monday morning delivery in Cleveland. The temp is in the low 60's right now and low humidity, feels great. The skeeters were tearing me up before sundown but I think they settled down some. Should be a good night of sleeping with the windows open.
