As I said , I may have to go with Shaffer, don't want to drive into LA every time. And you said it's "not" teams correct? With the right person it may not be bad, but Im old and "crochetty" also. lol

west region is 45 days out, they do offer a 21 days out at a 2 cent per mile cut in pay, if you live in very limited areas. LA is one.

It has been a very long time, matter of fact this load I had was the most jacked up that I have ever had. The pu was a window between 0700-1700, I get there and check in at 1030 and was told my Appt was at 0700 and I was LATE, I said naw I have a window, the shipper told me No You Dont Have A Window and we will try to work you in today....WTF. I informed dispatch about the conflict and they told me that I do in fact have a window. Well I wait all day and finally loaded and sign for bol at 1730 so I am there for 7hrs. It takes me 2 days to run the 1239 miles to cons and have back-to-back appts at same place, First one at 0500 than 0600. This oughtta be quick and easy I thought......but abit before 0600 the Lumper comes out and says OUR CREW THAT HANDLES VARIETY WONT BE IN UNTIL TONIGHT. I said NO this doesNt even sound right as I have a booked 0600 appt for the Variety portion. I have got bent out of shape before but this BS took the cake.....I was not offloaded until 0015 the next morning. I spent 19.5 hrs there. A recap of this load cost me a total wait time of 26.5 hrs. I AM STILL MAD.

Well I guess my string of being preplanned ahead of delivering my current load has come to an end. After delivering to my MO customer, they waited until I emptied out to send me something. Pu in St. James, MO going to Mechanicsburg, PA for a Saturday morning delivery. 800+ miles. Good miles, but this walking the tightline at my 70 isn't fun...The last few days I have been pulling in as my 70 hour coach is about to turn into a pumpkin.
I heard something come out of another Crete drivers mouth today that I haven't heard in a while...said that they have been running them ragged. Very refreshing to hear for a change.Last edited: Jul 26, 2012

Gettin' a different truck tomorrow. Picking up 85xxx....I'm guessing it has the MaxxForce, but to be real honest, as long as the AC works more often than this one has, I'll be happy.
Finishing this week with 3503 miles. Turn right around and head back to Pineville for Sunday when I drop and hook tomorrow. -
wish they had a closer yard to me than LA. But you said Shaffer is the same correct? Talked to a recruiter today, got all my t's crossed and i's dotted. we'll see.
