    That might take another two months to add on Efon.....lol. Was wondering way you where driving the cascadia. They going to keep you in it or move you back into the coronodo after they get it fixed?

    Well have to say Mark was able to get my insurance fixed. He is also making some progress on the trl issue. I give him and Bill a pat on the back for taking my email serious and not wasting time in taking action to trying to fix the issues I talked about. We still need to do are part in noting and bring up any OOS drop trl and getting them fix. At less until things start smoothing out. If us and the office work together then hopefully in a few months it will be a non issue instead of a major issue.

    I liked the Cascadia when I was in one this summer. I just hated how the electric APU could not keep up. Now that the blazing inferno we called summer is over, I think it will work just fine. Mark said to let him know if I wanted to switch back. I just really like the way the Cascadia is setup. Plus, I have a fridge that will fit in here from when I was at May. Its a bit bigger and easier to open too.

    No it is much better then JBS. There are things that go wrong and needs changing. The thing that makes this a better place then JBS is. When something is not going right you can email, call or talk in person with the head guy and NOT get in trouble doing so. Not only that they will get back with you on the progress on what they are doing to correct the issues and how it is going. All in all here they at less try to work with you as a team instead of pushing you off to the side. Not everyone can be worked with and not everything can be fixed. But if you go to them as a concerned driver other then a angry driver then they are more willing to work with you. At less that has been my experience.

    I know I have had my problems here but I have also set down and wrote out a email explaining it all. But I have also given the issues of other drivers to them as well. Only because I am not the only driver here and we all want this to work. I guess I am trying to say. If you wrte it out as being part of a team then it will be taken less as a btch letter.

    the people at the top(bill,mark,jon,mischell) are realy trying to make sure the drivers are happy and receiving the attention they deserve and solving problems and not complaints.daniel pointed out some problems and the top people went after them and are working on solving them.cudoes to daniel for his boldness and bill and mark for their consern.jon is getting more freight and more traveling lanes and mischell and candy are working on seeing that we stay buisy.cudoes to them also...this is a great place to work and soon will be the greatest place to work.cant say everywhere ive worked realy cared like these people do...give credit where credit is do,my hat goes off to these people

    Still sitting in Greeley. Had a 1300-2300 window yesterday to drop my trailer. Got up at 0600 and load was not ready. Been 17 hours now. I am supposed to be in La Porte Monday afternoon at 1400. Thats not going to happen now. I will not drive all night tonight since I have been up at the crack of dawn. I just cannot get good enough sleep during the day if I got up early. It comes down to a safety issue.

    No chance for on time now. 34 hours and counting. Bill and Jon will both be getting daily emails until I see my detention pay. I am now wondering if I might have the wrong pickup number and the trailer is just sitting there lol.

    Wow, did JBS go on strike? I have seen them late with loads before but not over 34 hours. Some of these shippers are getting out of control on getting trl's loaded.
