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

We picked the load up in Joplin but paperwork says Fort Smith,AR. Got preplan last night before we got to shipper, from Amana dh to Keosaqua,IA going to Laredo 3 days to get there, but we'll be in the tomorrow night instead of Thursday night. So far 1309 for the week. If you get the Amana load qualcomm will tell you to turn right but you wanna turn left to the DC, we turned right and went thru their old Amana German Village which was really cool but tight, everyone knew where we were going they showed us where to turn around and said that way 2 miles LOL

 

That GPS program on the QC is wacky sometimes, huh?

 

Ya Amana whirlpool is a crap hole really. Rockwall, TX TA got a air Leak and a super slick that needs fixing :S

 

Yeah that german village was pretty neat.

The gravel road... not so cool.

My load just got canceled BTW...the one I've been waiting on since 25 hrs ago. Bye bye 1650 miles.

Think that wp load picks up on navy road in ft smith. Right down the road from the freight yard. Or in that vicinity atleast.

 

Yup its not far from the freight yard in Ft Smith

 

Finally got tire fixed it's a act of congress to get a new tire here lol

 

Wi load replaced with 4 stopper load headed towards kc area in mo.

Been trying this new thing where I let the dispatcher say their spill of no common sense & say nothing for long periods of time after I respond once & make them repeat theirselves repeatedly. Speak up! Can't hear you! Their voice gets all nervous... its pretty entertaining.

 

Us 20 & Mackenzie pass from Oregon coast.
44k of grass seed.

Purty drive... next time I'll have to stop & catch me a salmon!

...glad its not winter anymore! Lol.

Shipper looked out his window and said "Conway ughhh"..... we had a moment....I looked on the wall and there he was posing as the owner. I liked that guy! Haha.

Gonna try & get rid of this at kc on Friday.
See if I can get someone to tell me what's sitting up there on night shift.

Dispatch is 1860 miles.
I'll be there @ 1740

My way wasn't "practical" ...worth the scenery though.

 

1109 miles for week. Now they trying to throw me on a Waco for the weekend that's not gonna work I'm sorry. 2 weeks prior 800 miles with tons of shop time. Need a different run or I'm done with Conway this time around and I won't look back.

545 miles to Waco by the way. We all know what poop loads come out of there too.
