Good Night From II

Near Woodland, PA at Sapp Bros.

No loads on Mac 30, no pplans all day...
Sigh.

 

yeah. This happened in the Illinois area a month or so ago. They had quite a bit of drivers at the Rochelle terminal doing orientation and paper work and what not.

 

lot of drivers in the lounge here, they made a lot of barbecue on the pits today

 

Still stuck at the Town Pump in Billings MT. The part for repair was supposed to arrive today but did not so now I'll be cooling my heals until Monday. Just repowered my load to Portland OR to a Company Swifty with no empty trailer to give me. Darn!!

On the bright side I got to meet NoBluffBuff here while he waits on a load. Great conversation and nice guy!! Cool dogs too!!

 

Nice! Lepton took off and I never got to try his French pressed coffee

 

Sorry! I boogied at midnight down to Springfield to get a drop and hook to bring back to Edwardsville to t-call. I'd love to have taken it all the way to SLC, but that's reserved for their shuttles. Instead they stacked me with a load headed to York.

The drop and hook in Springfield wasn't loaded when I got there and that chewed up four hours off my 14. I managed to get it t-called and went to Harrisonville to get my next load, they let me bobtail there so I saved time having to play mother may I with the empties.

Taking a 10 at the Flying-J on I-49 just north of Harrisonville. Coffee's made and chilling in the cooler. Ready for another midnight start, and hope to slip through St. Louis like a wet bar of soap before rush hour.

 

Still here in Goodyear. Got a pplan this morning. Show load to the LA Sports Arena for Monday morning at 0430 and then pick up a Home Depot in Carson and back to Tolleson. Hate going to Cali but it is a out and back so I will deal with. What I do not know, getting a mt after dropping this one at the arena. The other bad part does not leave until 630pm tomorrow and have to take a 10 at the receiving before can pick up the one in Carson so can make it back.

 

I think it was well over a year ago that Swift brought them into the fold as an O/O under Swifts authority ... similar to DSW.

So they been pulling Swift freight for awhile as well as Swift pulling their customer base.

 

According to a link posted on their sub forum it was March 19. Swift bailed them out a while ago, but they operated under their own authority until they defaulted. Then they picked a portion of the drivers and offered them to continue or get canned like the rest.

 

This is SO funny!

I got two load offers from Mac 30.
Both:
Pick up in Carlisle, PA between 0001 and 0130 - deliver in Carlisle, PA by 0200.
131 mt miles, 1 loaded.

What a joke.
If they want me for a load in Carlisle they can schedule a real load, not an mt move of 131 miles at midnight.
And, like I'm going to be ready to drive at 2200 after being up and ready for a load all day, and I get this at 1830?

As a little green guy might say...
As a kite, high they are.
