Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Well I got shafted somehow on getting the Wisconsin to Henderson load, don't know if it ever went down or someone else got it. So today was a bust but I pick up in downtown Chicago tomorrow afternoon with a load going to just outside of Minneapolis. So this week will have 4 good days and 3 ###### ones and I still look up and I will have turned over 2800 miles with 6 extra drops. Guess I have been so use to running balls to the wall week in and week out that 2800 seems like I haven't been running

 

Thanks for replying. My husband and I will try to think positive and call them this next week or so and see if they can tell us anything.

 

Got some home time last week , got a call Fri from Backhaul , to pu a recycle pre-loaded on 2575 in Louisville , back to G.p. on Monday outbound called me with a rundown of about 16 loads , I picked University park , IL. this way if 0900 Friday they tell me my backhaul wont be til Sat , I'll see my folks for few hrs on Fri. My ma turned 80 a couple weeks ago. They live about 7 miles from U.P. IL. They had a couple Florida , Ga , MI'S , and a boat load of others , nothing West and NW other than a couple TX 1 was a Laredo. A Loveland Co and not sure if he said a MN or not. Out on a gate pass and goin back to yard Wed morn after breakfst at Waffle house. Hope ya all havin fun out there , it's not hard to do here at Poly. Most laid back gig I've ever had. I love it .

 

Running like a mad man today. Finished up the Pepsi load in Burnsville, MN and rolled back to the yard to pick up a load that delivers in the morning here at Effingham, IL. After unloading in the morning picking up across state in Quincy, IL and rolling back to SP/MN turf for an early Friday delivery and then hopefully something good on the OB side for Friday.

 

Yuck, yuck and more yuck. Glad we got you out there running all those loads. I've been running a bunch of these Southeast loads. It's tough but one of us have to do it I guess(LOL)! At least you are keeping busy and making the most of it. Hope your truck issues stay a thing of the past. Good Luck on a better load Friday and Take Care out there!

 

Not too bad as long as the miles per day are good although a lot harder work than the easy sailing out west. Knocked out 644 miles today and looking at about the same tomorrow but with a lot of back roads thrown in to make a tiring day. Besides I told them to let all you old timers take those nice leisurely loads heading into the SE and Florida so not to cause your bones to ache up here in the cold weather

 

Sounds like you're doing well. Luckily I'm not really old enough for my bones to ache much. I do wish I had an additional dollar for everytime I've ran a back road in Illinois. I remember why you went up there. Don't be trying to pass that crap off. They loaded the hook up with that Henderson bait and got you to bite on it(Lol)! I think I only ran like 643 today on this drop and hook from La Grange,GA. Herd it was another darn drop and hook in Waller,TX. They'll probably want me to do one of them Henderson loads next. Just not sure what I'm going to do if you keep telling them to give US these loads. Thanks I guess! Lol

 

Well I kind of tuckered out and decided to stop at Albert Le, MN and finish the trip off tomorrow as I have an open time for arriving. Outbound called with a few loads and I decided to take a 3 stopper (2 mom and pops in NJ and finishing out somewhere in Massachusetts.) Not the greatest but with my hours and the ability to arrange my appointments it was the best choice to maximize my miles. Loaded today in one of those big ### caverns along the Mississippi river.

 

I got the Waller,TX load delivered with no issues. Definitely a good load I hope I get again sometime. They had me go to Pol-Tex for a load going up to GP. Outbound called while I was working on that load with several good loads. I took another Alabama, Georgia 4 stop load. Been nice running these Southeast loads. Thanks again Majestyk(Lol)! Keeping miles around 2800 a week with like six drop pays. Not bad since I'm staying in nice weather running at an easy steady pace. Few more weeks and I'll take another load out West. Passed on the Oregon one this time. Hope everyone is running ok out there. Been a little quiet on here. Take care all!

 

Staying too busy to post frequently. Plus the post may be redundant. I.e. plenty of miles, lots of stops, making good money,I love my job, blah blah blah. lol
