    drove down to commerce this morning for a 9am live unload.
    noone there at address. so drove back and tcall at terminal.
    grabbed the murrieta ca load and dispatch says call an hour before getting there . had to be there before 1400.
    guy says was suppose to be there between 0700 -0800. had a crew waiting.
    noone there since he sent them home.
    ask if i could drop trailer. its a construction site.
    wasnt secure so dl said no.
    then he gave me another load to deliver to compton.
    trailer in shop.
    this load i am on now is a drop and got here right at 1300.
    long line to get in and lady says park on fenceline. that they are at a shift change and someone will call you.
    been here for 45 mibutes waiting and ask the guard whats eta.
    says it be around 1530-1600 before the change is done.
    after this i go to colton to pick up load for the lost hills trip tomorrow.
    wasted 2 days

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    I just put a 22 pound turkey in the oven. Yum!

    This is the first time in over a decade that I have been home on Thanksgiving day.
    And we even have a little snow, so that is really nice.

    So... how is it working out?
    Is it 60 cpm or $250 per day, and how are the miles and the pay and the hours and the stress level?

    Sorry, I'm bored just sitting at home trying to get my knee back in shape.
    But I always like hearing about your adventures because they are always so diverse.
     
    hope not dumb twucker Thanks this.

    I'm doing pretty well, but I think it is still a couple months before it gets well enough to do the job.

    picked up a trailer here at jurupa terminal yesterday to take to lost hills.
    trailer was a reefer and set at 32 degress. running when i got here.
    there was no mmention of what to set it too on dispatch or b.o.l..
    b.o.l says it contained air fryers and othwr kitchen appliances.
    final was amazon in sacramenro.
    so i took paperwork to show dl and he said didnt know why it was on.
    said i cpuld turn it off.
     
    Rugerfan and Moosetek13 Thank this.
