    Hey guys, got out or orientation Friday and they had me take a load from Lancaster to Joplin in a trade truck. They provided me with a ProStar and got a load from Joplin to Springville, NY delivers tomorrow morning. 30 miles away from receiver just off 90 in NY. Question: how does the pay for miles work, like what day do the miles go in, etc?

    Cranked the little non stick electric skillet up a little while ago. Birds eye teriyaki chicken stir fry. The inverter works in this truck. That's a plus.

    Receipts scanned before Wednesday -- I think -- are reimbursed on the following Thursday/Friday (8/9 days). I hear most people get their direct deposits on Friday, but mine always cleared Thursday morning.

    Miles dispatched before Saturday at midnight are paid on Thursday/Friday (5/6 days).


    I seem to recall an additional 1 week lag for my first direct deposit.

    Yesterday was long/not my day....

    Began delivering in Laredo illegally doing SB/ offd
    Changes not starting clock for 16 mi.
    Get asked for money from an aggressive "stranded truck repossed flatbedder"
    BARELY miss that hell on the loop blocking the shoulder....seriously.....it was bad....you weren't taking Killiam...better exit like you were going to eagle pass.

    Get load going to Chicago (been there before imagine that) taken away. Have to sit 6 hours to go do a live pick up. Started my clock looking for the empty I called 8 times telling them it isn't here until someone finally gave me another trl.....that new girl is a tard....

    Anyway... Get one out of the repair line.

    Get wrong broker
    Wrong name
    Wrong address
    Wrong side of town

    Get stuck behind idiots doing 55 in the 75.

    Open the fridge & the rack breaks.
    Get back in the bunk at second pick up turn on fan and it breaks from the mount. Now its like one of those guys that holds the fan in the NFL.


    Arrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

    The icing on the top is all my miles on this load are kapoof. Shippers took 6 hrs total so I can't make it to calexico.

    Someone coming to steal the load in a few hours

    ....I've been up for 24.... Did all of the work and this bums gonna come hold the steering wheel across i10.

    .....
    ....
    .....

    -.-

    Did I mention I got a hemoroid or some infected hair between my nuts & thigh. Hurts to walk and nonstop throbbing sharp pain. Yay ;)
