    tulare ca. guess its back to the hurry up and wait bs. willows sent a message late yesterday saying walmart didnt need anyone. called my dl and set my pta for this morning to finish the 34 reset. got sent 3 preplanns yesterday that i refused with times i can do. all wanted me to either p/u or deliver in 3 hrs time. p/u were in mira loma and delivery was in long beach. one of dl called me and ask why i'm refusing the loads. said can do the 215 miles in 3 hrs. guess my dl put my pta wrong. so they put in rite times and now havent got any preplans since. this truck has been sold and had to be in pheonix tomorrow. dl said it mite bwe a week later due to no trucks available

    Ran last night from the middle of Kansas to the Flying J at MP 123 east of Indianapolis across I-70. Bare and dry the entire way. Now I'm in the SB on I-80 in western PA. We'll make our delivery in Secaucus tonight, but still waiting for word on our run back to Phoenix.

    Just a quick question for some of you guys with quite a bit of experience... Why put up with all of the stuff that you swifties put up with? I would imagine you could find some nice paying companies and deal with less than half of the things you do now... not trying to be rude just curious is all

    At a rest area in the California desert on I40 east bound for Texas. The last I had heard yesterday was that they were looking for more freight to load up on the docks before they could get me a load. Since we are on paper logs and no qualcomm, 1700 came and went with no communication from anyone so I figured another busted day. Some time late at night I got a call to swing around and dock it, they had enough freight to fill a trailer going to Dallas. They put more money on my comdata card to cover the fuel for this one trip than I normally get paid at Swift fora whole week's worth of loads.

    I hadn't had a chance to turn in my plates and qualcomm back to Swift at Lathrop, will see if they can accept it at Lancaster maybe. Did receive a message that I can keep the qualcomm if I want it, just have to pay $3000 bucks. I'm thinking I'm thinking
