So it could have been worse, but it was still great.
Sitting on my break in New Jersey now at the meet point. No via on the return trip home so if all goes well I should be home be 6.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -

I’ve managed to learn about 15-20 go arounds off of 95/287/87. Enough that I am almost impervious to construction or accident delays through that corridor. The challenge of navigating through a sea of dip$hi+s is very addicting to me lol.

22K is a little too much for the single axle. i'm thinking/hoping that most scales give 500lbs tolerance?
2) At one of our terminals, you must absolutely NOT touch your set UNTIL you check inside (coughbaltcoughticoughmore-----dirtiest mf'ing terminal on earth, i will probably post horrifying pics soon) because stuff changes all the time.
3) But one, apparent(?) difference between ex and browntown is that we go on hourly immediately upon arriving to any terminal irregardless of what we do----fueling, drop+hook, waiting for load etc. EXCEPT manditory 30 min dot break. So even if you do drop and hook for nothing, and then have to hook right back up, you still get paid and paid more in this case.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
This is one area that is not emphasized and is inefficient in our company and, i would suspect, at other companies.USMC 3531 Thanks this. -
3) There's a few convoluted rules on the delay time as an hourly pay that we have, all based on the length and type of run. Meets qualify for delay after your break, regardless of trip length. Shuttle runs don't qualify for delay time, between 400-475 miles, below 400 miles it is mandatory for dock work. Hub turns (runs over 475 miles to a hub) qualify for delay after your break. My run is a shuttle run that doesn't require dock work. Instead of working the dock all night (being last in the lane that has a 3-4 hour delay window until my trailers are ready). Sure, I could pump another 15-20 hours into my paycheck, but I'd rather sleep and be bright eyed for the return trip.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
