Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

i know the east coast flat bed teriminal is greer u probably will be on the truck for 6 weeks or less, i believe they changed it to hours of drive instead of weeks.

 

your going to have to talk to your dm on that one, i couldnt tell you

 

picked up a new load outa phoenix heading to kansas. im currently in kansas now going to deliver tommorrow. I sat down and talked to a planner the other day to try and figure out what im doing wrong, he gave me alotta pointers and told me not to be so quite. I guess no one knows me i just do my job, and stay to myself.
So anyhow he hooked me up with a good load ill empty it out tommorrow, hopefully i get a preplan soon for another load.
The load im hauling now isnt picture worthy just aluminum in boxes.

 

i grabed a load of grout...47,000lbs worth ran it over to Sumner,WA
i decided to go to the terminal like a good swifty instead of the TA....OMG what a dump,its like the denver terminal....not going their again.
So i got rid of that load this morning grabbed a load of lumber this afternoon 48,500lbs of it and going to take it to anaheim. If i can talk the lumber folks into delievering it wednesday instead of thursday i can have a 3000 mile plus week for a change. It sure would be nice

 

yep both are still their, their good, steve actually sent me home tommorrow, havent been home i think since the last week of july or the first week of august.
anyhow i finished the week up today with 3,241 paid miles!!!! finnally a good week!! ran a load of lumber from washington to anaheim california, then tommorrw heading down to san diego pickin em up and t callin them in phoenix
