CONGRATZ

 

Pueblo kinda messed up getting a really good week this week as it didn't deliver till Tuesday. We coulda delivered monday no problem. We left sunday at 16:00 from Peoria and we were in pueblo around 13:00 on Monday. We should still hit 4000 depending on what we get when we get back to edwardsville an what miles we can get split onto this week.

 

Everyone seems to be jacking up their pay right now...seems like a wage war is going on between companies now..

 

Seems like I’ve been stuck doing Missouri runs the last few days. Just unloaded at McLane in Republic Missouri. On my way to Fayetteville picking up going to Warrenton

 

Yes sir

 

I just got the call too. Also delivering candy in fountain tomorrow. 0800 appointment.

 

Well bring on another ten cents a mile. While where at it throw pay for every stop. No 2 hours free crap. Automatic breakdown pay. Oh whoops I'm dreaming again. No matter the per mile rate it doesn't seem to translate to higher pay per year cuz I'm not getting as many miles as i was at the lower per mile rate. But such is life i suppose. For not really being a proper team company i think the wife an i do ok. Not gangbusters certainly but ok.

 

We're headed to edwardsville. Then craftsmen to Columbus Ohio for noon tomorrow. 14:40 eastern time now with approx 1100 miles to go for noon tomorrow. Doable i think so long as we have no issues. Slack adjuster lost a holding pin for the slack arm to the chamber rod on trlr we dropped at palmyra. Tandems wouldn't slide so i found that when i went to adjust the brakes. Luckily i was able to get it to tap back into place. Used a bunge hook for a makeshift cotter pin. By gosh it worked just great.
