BD69: The Owner Operator Chronicles

You re ok man, I don't care what Joel says about you.

 

Well, give me a 800 mile run and 11 hours and change to do it in, you better give me paper logs. The magic box just wouldn't let me work any magic today. It's ok, I'm tired and it's getting close to time to get out of the truck for a few days. I know where im reloading, but know idea of whete im going with it yet, guess I'll know soon enough.

More later...

 

So now I'm setting in the penalty box because this load was supposed to pick up at 0400. Who's planing this crap. Ok, if I had been able to pull off a miracle and got the load there at 1930 last night, how in the Hell was I supposed to get unloaded, wash out a trailer get a 10 in and get to my reload? There's only 8.5 hours between my scheduled unload and my reload...

Well, I got a load after this to take me back to NC for a little time off at least. Being a new O/O I can't really afford much downtime but I am getting a little frazzled with the poor planning and it may co.e to the point of having to turn down a load just to make a point. I hope not, but this is getting old. I'm not going to lose 2mpg in fuel to leadfoot a load someone else messed up on...at least not without some offset thrown my way. If I screw up I'll eat it but I'm not just going to screw myself for the shear enjoyment of it.

4 hours to get a door. This loads going to end up late also if they don't get a move on.
