<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wedge, post: 2509074, member: 44832&quot;]Hello There. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25511.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25511:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Update.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My 34 hour reset was finished by 0500 Sunday, so I drove 230 miles toward the receiver in Bloomington, MN and stopped about 20 miles short at the Flying J in Northfield. I contacted dispatch to ask about running the load in 24 hours early. It turned out to be a live unload so I had to stick to the appointment time of 1200 on Monday. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25510.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25510:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On Monday arrived at the receiver about an hour early and was unloaded immediately, and because I hadn&#039;t received a pre-assignment yet, I returned to the TS in Northfield.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I was getting off the ramp, I received not 1, but 2 pre-assignments. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25525.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25525:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The first was to dead-head to Waterloo, IA and bring a load back up to Rochester, MN, about 315 paid miles. The second was my run that would get me home. A load that picks up in St. Paul and goes straight through to Forest Park, GA, only minutes from my home terminal in Ellenwood, about 1150 paid miles. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_255.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_255:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I ran down to Waterloo late on Monday afternoon. It was a live load scheduled to pick up at 2000 and deliver in Rochester at 2230. I arrived about 1800 and they loaded me right away. I ran straight up US 63 into Rochester and delivered just before 2000. And, as a bonus, they allow over-night truck parking. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_255.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_255:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After I sent in my empty call, dispatch sent me the load information for my run to GA. It picks up today at 1400 local time and delivers on Thursday after 0800.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m looking forward to this long run and getting home. I&#039;ve been out 5 weeks and I&#039;m look forward to this hometime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m heading up to the shipper early. You never know..............it could be a pre-loaded trailer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25525.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25525:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for reading.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Wedge[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
