Good Night From II

Burnsville, MN on my last day of a very nice and relaxing home time.
I love to wake up when I wake up, instead of to an alarm.

Got some good shows downloaded to last me awhile, while on the road.
Some good left overs for the cooler.

Hopefully I have a decent load out tomorrow.

The weather has been in the 50's and 60's, with one day actually in the 70's. And nothing but a bit of rain forecast for several days.
Superb MN weather!

Sorry for your troubles, squeak.
But today, I don't have any.

 

It is okay Moose. They did send me a pplan, pu in the yard here and take to San Antonio for a morning live unload. All of 190 miles by 0900. Said that want to see a back up since I know what it can be like getting another load out of there on a Friday morning.

Update, it has been over 2.5 hours since I declined the load saying that I want to see a back up, and nothing, not even a removal. Moose, the next 2 weeks for me there might be a PITA. My DM has been called for jury duty.

 

Squeak,
Should have taken the Wal-Mart DC to DC load. Last time I did that very same load I got a load out of Port Allen going to CA. Lots of freight near Baton Rouge.

 

My hindsight is always 20/20. My luck, would have got there and then nothing or a P&G (or is it KCarke)

 

for space I loved the prostar, hated the heavy clutch though. As for the velcro curtain I never undo the velcro, I just slide the 2 curtains velcroed together to the side and then pull it back when I want it closed.

Last night was the first load I ever had to bring back to the dc to get reworked, was 42k lbs so I scaled it, tandems and everything moved as much as can be plus a couple brake checks and I was still at 35980 on the tandems, was told I was one of 5 loads that came back to get fixed, took them almost 2 hours plus the hour lost from 25 miles to and from the scales I used. Was told one load left the dc at 50k lbs which is insane, they normally are supposed to cut them before getting much past 40k so I dont know what the heck those loaders were smoking on some of these loads last night. Found out yesterday the dc is looking for a new full time ECT planner since one decided to leave, I went ahead and just applied for it but will see if anything comes of it. I know the normal work week is 4 10's plus overtime sometimes, also one planner used to be a driver and when busy he will drive a day or 2 on his days off for extra money so that can be an option for me if I get the opportunity. At least I have experience with how this dc operates etc so maybe might help some.

 

I get woken up at 0700 with a pplan that picks up at 0900, and my PTA is 1200.
I called to check on windows, but no windows. So I ignore it since I am nowhere near my truck.
It was sent again at 0915, and I call my DM. He's wondering why they keep sending too, and tells me to ignore it.
Stupid planners.

 

YA THINK!!!

 

Ditto ... took that load and went to Monroe and picked up a load of ducks to CA.

 

dropped off at SAMs in Waterloo , Iowa. taking ten before I go pick up the eggs to take back to Harrisonville

 

glad that I waited. Got one from baytown to t-call in phx and then one going to El Paso. At first was t-call in El Paso and then changed. Would have put me there when shop is closed and 4 days earlier than requested
