We're sitting just outside Portland. Can't deliver until Monday morning. Then a quick run up to Kent to drop the rest of the trailer. We would have delivered here yesterday, but the weather slowed us down and we couldn't get in until after they closed.
I hope they can run us over to Missoula. After running across the country twice, we have a list of little (and not so little) things to get the shop to look at. -
Man i hope you guys get out of sfs soon. that place can be a black hole.
there were about 15 drivers when i was there last week but i got out in 34 hours.
I ran 3300 last week but this week has been much slower...only about 1800 this week.I think most shippers worked thru christmas and are getting drunk new years week...Ive been hearing lots of rumors but just rumors of big transport companies filling bankruptcy jan 1...To me that means freight should pick up for us. Shippers seem to think we are a little more reliable from the ones ive talked to...Right now im sitting on 77 at the va,NC border.Taking my time to deliver. had a layover new years, then this load had a late pick up time and they ate up my 14 loading the truck, had to actually make different parts of the order. i guess dog food is still in high demand and i have strick del time monday evening. As we all know it doesnt take 4 days to drive 850 miles but at least im under load for the weekend and the company is making money.if your in sfs tell David your willing to wait it out till wednesday if he can get you east and get yourself a sure fire 2500 in by sunday. good luck guys and make sure you have a DD. -
Hey guys,
Yea, I'm stuck here in SFS for the weekend as well, but only because they gave me 6 days to run 1100 milesI could have been there Friday to deliver but they were booked so I have to sit and drive up early Monday morning. A little more than 1000 miles in one week really sucks. Sure have been doing more sitting than driving these last few holiday weeks. Hopefully things will pick up now that the holidays are coming to an end. I miss those 3000+ mile weeks
Anyways, back to watching the playoffs. Be safe out there all. -
Anyone having trouble getting a hold of dispatch? I am on home time, truck is in Georgia, and can't seem to get a hold of Krissey.....

-
LOL! Not really new. Just wondering. Funny thing is, she isn't returning voice mails....
-
She's got a huge area to cover.
How is it, you're in MI and your truck is in GA ? -
They had me ride up with another driver for my home time. Didn't have 2 loads coming out of Dalton to this hole.
-
Well since you have no QC. You'll have to keep hammering them on the phone. It's just me, but I would be talking to anyone I could get ahold of. Otherwise, you may be there awhile.
Or, call the Taylor terminal. See if they have anyone loading out headed that way (GA).
