    I am in cactus pushing my 70, only 6 hours today once i reset. Drove all night got into cactus at 3am and up at 8am due to trucks making noise and ripping through this dirt lot. Going to take a break in OKC since I will need recap hours and run the next couple days to delivery. Not going to make my doctors appt on time going to call them see if I can make it for later that day or another. I hate that they have you on the days your already suppose to be home. Been happening more often to many drivers. They need to plan that better. My time off does not start the day i get home sorry. It starts waking up in my bed at home!

    Imagine that!!! He acts like he is in charge, yet I was told he is not in charge of maintenance. Our safety is more important, glad Daniel takes this serious and double checks everything and finding all the faults. Now would you please work on trailers again? :biggrin_25522:

    Frogman and holycow, please tell me who you are sending brownies to so I can get in on the action. Miles for me have been blah.

    I came off home time Wednesday morning, only to drive to Holcomb. Picked up Thursday and went to Amarillo. Went into Clovis, NM Friday and wasted the rest of the day getting loaded. Drove 454 miles yesterday to Waco. Today, I got down here to Baytown to wash the truck. I deliver in the morning in La Porte and then head over to Budweiser. Got a load going to El Dorado, AR. Supposed to be ther by 1400 tomorrow. Haha, yeah right. Now I have to deliver Tuesday morning. So it will only be 350 miles tomorrow. Then I head up to Russellville, AR to pick up a "pre loaded" trailer at Americold going back to Denver. Delivers Thursday morning at Safeway.

    Barely 2000 miles in 8 days.

    Not going to say who said it was ready. But it is evident that it is up to the driver to make sure the truck you are given is up to DOT regulation for highway use. I know we are to do good pre, post trips. But we should be given something that needs to go right into the shop after it has sit in the yard for a week. With the trl's I'll get right on it. I am no longer looking for the better trl to take. I will be looking for the worse so at less they can be fixed for a change. Just give me a few weeks to get to them please.
