    That kind of thing should earn the other driver a service failure.

    Maybe you should insist on a legal scale ticket before taking a heavy load.
    That should be standard practice, just like when t-calling a load.

    I'm in Owatonna, MN tonight.
    Stuck doing Costco loads again.

    21 degrees so I'm idling the truck, since my truck does not have a bunk heater.
    Opti-Idle is rather worthless for keeping it warm.

    Owatonna, MN.

    We had snow moving in when I woke up this morning. There were already dozens of crashes and the weather alert went until 1800 this evening.
    I decided to stay off the roads today and had my PTA set for tomorrow morning.

    I got down to Springfield, MO this afternoon for my delivery. My next load is picking up just south of Kansas City headed for the Owatonna Costco.
    I was shocked to see a delivery window of 0400-2359. I have usually seen 0100-0400.

    My home time is set for the 18th and this delivers on the 17th, so I'm considering it my home time load.

    Made it home at around 2100 after a very long day.
    Heavy crosswinds all day.

    I got home a day early (sort of) and decided to go back when I would have if I had gotten here tomorrow, so a 4 day home time instead of my usual 3.
    4 weeks and 2 days out, and this time I am taking all that I am due.
     
    JOHNQPUBLIC and dptrucker Thank this.

    jurupa Valley at home.
    got weekend load..
    picked up at jv terminal and left around 0700.
    pretty windy , so I got off off i15 and took sidesteps. don't think it's safe going 40- 45mph on freeway.
    got to beaver ut at 1730. other driver got there just before 1930.
    so I ended up a 8/2 split.
    did my 8hr sleeper berth just south of misquite NV at a truck parking area.
    tcalled load it jv terminal and now off till tuesday
     
    dwells40 and Moosetek13 Thank this.
