Con-Way Truckload Drivers: What's Your 20? (2014 edition)

Mmm mmm, that new trailer smell.

Smells like...Victory

 

Spoke with FM this morning and he's still waiting on truck assignment to say where to go, so we are leaving today but no clue where we will be going

 

Well they finally called and we're headed to Lockport,IL up by Joliet to pickup a Prostar, hopefully it will run better

 

Lol @ Laredo again... Get a 1200 mile run to GA. Dispatch calls me when I get to San Antonio as soon as I jump on 10. To tell me to turn around and bring load back to Laredo... Sigh

 

Ft Payne
Home for the night.

New dispatchers on team are annoying.

Beep beep beep.

Above freezing day 1.
See if we can beat 10!...

Only a month or two of this crap hang in there....
Then we got steamy windows blanket fog and twisters!

Ack!

 

Back into a hotel we go, got to Romeoville to pick up and they had to get afew things done on it first, then had to run a regen that took and hour, truck has been sitting there since Dec. it was a recovered truck,so we go to return car and the place is locked up and this location doesnt allow u to drop it after hrs,so they had to rent us a room. Have no blankets or pillows or we would have stayed in truck.

 

Gosh it seems like Yall just can't catch a break. International only truck I've never driven. Been in everything else but that. From the sounds of it I'd rather not have one. I sure do miss a good old freightliner best truck I ever driven.

 

I. An top that. 1450 mile load wouldnt scale ...load unassigned ...got 1000 mile trip to Denver ...load got hot...relayed in Amarillo. 1400 down to 660. Did i mention picking up in Lubbock heading back to Waco? ACK!!!

 

Ouch... Hope things get better. On the other hand Student getting a good look at how it is out here. That TX I 35 should break him in nicely.
