Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

I don't think they have a preference. It's just a matter of what they have outbound that works best to get the driver home. I also don't think the deadhead to home is an issue because of previous sentence.

 

I saw another poly trucking truck yesterday goin eastbound on the Patpk right around breezewood.

 

I was running I-70 eastbound in eastern Colorado this morning and a Poly truck passed me (who doesnt pass a Crete truck?), I got the driver on the cb (might have been Jdrenzjr) as he was saying that he was with Crete as a owner-operator until Nov of last year. I was telling the driver that I had faxed my app to Poly on July 3rd and have not heard anything back since, so he gave me the rundown. I will keep emailing them like the driver said.

 

Yes that was me.

 

All good things come to an end....or in this case maybe just a slow down. Been running hard for quite awhile now so this current snafoo will be taken in stride. I delivered in Denver Friday morning, but didn't get a backhaul till Friday afternoon. I reload in Freedom,Ok on Monday morning with a load going to Houston for delivery on Tuesday.....at 1900. That's a little less than 1100 miles in 5 days. OUCH!

However I thought I would try to drop it Monday afternoon in Grand Prairie and get something leaving Tuesday morning with more miles. But, given Chemsters report on the truck electronics situation in GP, I think it may be better to keep what I have and bypass the GP yard for now. I don't want to take the chance of losing even more prodution. At least if I deliver in Houston I have a high probability of getting a transfer load from our Mont Belvieu location to Henderson,NV and I can pass through the house for a night.

Given the fact that all the truck stops in the Denver metro area seemed to be close to full by late Friday morning, I'm not too surprised by this backhaul situation. Plus the past track record of hauling freight for Poly tells me this was probably the best they could find in a tough freight market like Denver. So as stated earlier, I will take it in stride.

Instead of staying in Denver all weekend I drove on down to Liberal,KS yesterday to camp out and do a 34hr restart. Went and saw the new Batman movie. It was good.....and there will be a sequel. The Sunday matinee was only $4.

 

sorry to hearyou got stuck like that jd denver always sucks for getting a load out for anyone

 

I thought that this Batman was the third of the trilogy.

 

it was, but we where introduced to Robin at the end.
