    Well the planners and myself and management have jumped hurdles to keep me on track but these receivers keep screwing it up. Two back to back took fours hours or more to unload. Making me miss my next pick up and run out of hours. They even brought my load from na to Memphis and still couldn't keep up. So my weekend load isn't ready tell today and also bouncing sleep pattern to night to mid afternoon. I agree w Holy cow. I like it here, i agree fight for what we need for miles is every company. This one is still small enough to care and manage. I can only do what i can legally. They can only keep it in those guidelines. Hopefully they know which guys run hard and which are slow.

    Well got the load at Greeley. Had to wait an extra two hours as the shipper didn't have the right seal # on the bols. Once I got that had to head to a T/A as the trk needs repairs. Had lug nuts that where almost coming off the studs. Looks like 3 brake pads needs to be replaced. Been here at T/A for 4 hours now waiting to get inside the bay. Looks like I will loss this load in a swap so it can be delivered on time. I would like to think the driver who left the POS for me and having me loss a good money load.

    I'd rather do a consistent 500 miles a day than long runs. But thats just me I average 500 miles a day over 7 days thats 3500 miles a week for the same mileage rate as I was making at FRE. I used to have longer runs when I worked the meat patch to the west coast every week 1800 out and 1800 back.But those days are gone.

    Yep, and still in the shop. This is what they get for not have these trl's fix when they should be. I have a 0600 appt in temple, tx. That's 873 miles from Denver. Anyone got a jet pack to spare.....lol. Even a swap can fix this one. Guess they have it to do in the office today.
